The Average Penis Size
|
Beyond the myth and stereotype that every culture has a different average penis size, the truth of the matter is that everyone is generally the same. No matter what nationality you are or where you are from, the national average penis size is up to 6 inches. Studies by the Journal of Urology (1996) and Lifestyle Condoms (2004) further prove that on average men are between 5.08 to 5.9 inches in penis size. |
History of penis size obsession
As far back as 2,000 years ago, depictions of a large penis have been associated with figures of authority. "Gods", leaders, people of position, etc... every one of them is portrayed as having a large penis. It seems to lend them further power and awe amongst people. With this kind of history, it is easy to see why many men wish to increase their penis size through penis enlargement. It is nothing to be ashamed of; in fact, it's only natural.
The genetics of it all.
Until a male reaches the puberty stage, they experience limited penis growth. In fact, the average male is stuck at about 2.4 inches in length prior to puberty. When their bodies start developing into adulthood, the penis will again begin to grow in size.
Regarding puberty, let's consider that there is no set age for puberty. Some begin puberty as early as age 11 and others wait until they are 15 years old. During this period in a young man's life, no adolescent will develop the same. All will find themselves at different stages of development during these difficult years, which makes those locker rooms moments even more understandable. The sad fact is, those that developed slower leaves many men with these insecurities into adulthood.
Do permanently small penises exist?
Unfortunately micropenises do exist. They occur in 0.6% of men.
Micropenises are caused by a deficiency in the testosterone levels of a woman during her 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This hormone reduction stunts a male's penis growth. Unfortunately, this remains part of a man's genetic make-up into adulthood.
However, cases of micropenises are rare, and are easily identifiable. Individuals who suffer with this condition can only experience an erection sizes of 2 inches.
Luckily, advances in science and the creation of medically tested penis enlargement devices means this condition no longer has to feel like a problem - and best of all, it can be cured.
Traction devices in particular can encourage natural penis enlargement of 2.75 inches through the stimulation of new tissue cells within the penis chambers.
A man can also help himself tremendously - whether suffering from a true micropenis or just too small for comfort - by practicing good penis health and participating in erection exercise therapy.
