Erection in older children is a normal physiological condition. There should be no reason to panic. They talk to the boy, talk about all the intricacies of growing up. Mothers are not recommended to discuss intimate topics with their son. This leads to discomfort on both sides and the development of psychological trauma in the child. Early signs of arousal are not associated with puberty, their appearance may be the norm or the result of developed pathologies.
The first signs of puberty
Not all parents, especially mothers, know at what age a boy grows a penis. Normally, the process begins at the age of 11-12, but there are minor deviations.
The first thing a teenager notices is an enlarged penis.
Then join:
- uncontrolled erections;
- night shows;
- sexual attraction to girls;
- erotic dreams and other signs.
Adulthood lasts about 5 years. Testosterone, a male hormone, enters the bloodstream, leading to changes in the character and appearance of teenagers. The change in behavior is not surprising. Hormonal changes often make a young man aggressive and quick temperament.
The final formation of the reproductive system occurs at the age of 18, although many boys have their first sexual intercourse much earlier. On average, this happens at the age of 13-16.
Teenage erections lead to the desire to experience the first pleasure in life, so most teenagers masturbate.
Catching a child in an obscene activity, parents are confused - they read morals, they make fun of the child. You can't do that, you can destroy the relationship and cause serious damage to the human psyche.
How does a young man change?
Moms and dads often wonder why a child’s behavior is changing, and often not for the better. The guy makes scandals, runs away from home, shuts himself in.
Parents suspect that their son is using drugs, connections with bad company. Regular examination does not lead to good relations and makes the growing child even angrier.
You can recognize growing up by hair growth:
- on the chest and face;
- armpit;
- in the genital area.
During the period of hormonal adjustment, the voice grows coarser and the sexual organ grows.
Of course, the boy will not show his mother's penis, adult men will be able to notice such changes.
In the process of growing up, sperm begins to accumulate in the testicles. This can already lead to conception. Before this opportunity arises, the boy must be aware of the intimate nuances and consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
A grown man, preferably a father, should inform the young man. If that is not possible, the guy studies the information himself - in books, magazines, on the Internet.
You have to be careful with the latter. A guy who grows up will surely want to watch an intimate video. The plot of the pictures is different. By focusing on a particular video, a guy can radically change his views on adult life.
involuntary ejaculation
Erection in adolescents is often accompanied by erotic dreams. Sufficient sperm accumulates in the testicles, it comes out. The first wet dream scares the boys. They are afraid of criticism from their parents, they feel guilty about the dirty sheet.
The parents notice that the son took off the bedding himself and put it in the washing machine. Neither the mother nor the father should ask unnecessary questions, putting the boy in an awkward position. If the intimate topic is not open yet, it is time for the father to take a moment to explain the situation. It is important to know at what age boys get up so as not to miss important changes.
Young men often do not remember their dreams and do not understand why ejaculation occurred. Some consider it pathological.
Night shows in boys are a normal physiological condition in which sexual tension is released. Excess accumulated sperm leads to discomfort. While the man is not yet sexually active, the body just empties the testicles.
It happens in adulthood, but unlike a teenager, an adult understands what is happening to him and does not feel uncomfortable.
This is loaded:
- the appearance of feelings of guilt in teenagers;
- psychological discomfort;
- loss of prestige;
- hostile attitude.
The young man will surely appreciate the lack of interest in getting an erection and involuntary ejaculation.
Tips for moms and dads
You have to come to terms with the fact of growing up. This is a natural process that had to begin. In this difficult period, one should be tactful and friendly, because one wrong word can ruin a blood relationship for a long time.
Moms and dads should not judge their son for:
- uncontrolled erection and ejaculation;
- Browsing intimate magazines;
- mood swings.
Finding a teenager masturbating, you have to keep quiet and pretend that nothing happened, giving the child a chance to clean up after himself. You also don't have to focus on yourself. Doctors do not have a single position on this issue. Some believe that testicular emptying is normal from the point of view of physiology, others that it is immoral and unacceptable.
Parents will not be able to influence this process, if the teenager wants it, he will always find an opportunity to withdraw.
The concepts of morality should be instilled from early childhood, and in the period of growing up, it will be perceived as an intrusion into personal space.
Erection at an early age
Signs of growing up in boys up to 6-8 years of age confuse parents. They sometimes occur in children in the first year of life. You often don't have to worry. It's happening.
Harmless reasons include:
- tight underwear or uncomfortable diaper;
- bladder overflow;
- mechanical impact.
This is:
- Congenital malformations of the genitourinary system.
- Inflammatory processes in the intestines, bladder, testicles.
- Worm infestations.
- CNS disorders.
- Circulation problems.
- Skin infection, etc.
The diagnosis is often made during the initial examination by a pediatrician. It is less necessary to perform an ultrasound of the genitourinary system, undergo a swab, blood tests and so on.
Treatment is chosen according to test results. Babies usually need antibiotics, physiotherapy and other things.
It is forbidden to act independently. Heat and cold compresses can seriously harm a child, and taking medications will distort clinical signs and prevent a quick diagnosis.
"Until what age does the penis grow? " - this question is asked by many parents, worried whether everything is fine with the health of their sons. Similar questions are asked in adult men who are dissatisfied with the size of their penis - they hope that the growth will not stop until old age, the main thing is to follow certain rules.
What is the situation in reality: until what age does the penis grow, why does the organ stop growing, what determines the size and how to increase the penis in an adult man? We will now give answers to these questions.
Stages of development in children
- First stage, intrauterine. The penis and scrotum are formed in the fetus by the 16th week, by which time it is already possible to determine the sex of the unborn child.
- Second stage, prepuberty. Before the onset of puberty, boys' genitals are underdeveloped (infantile or infantile). In infants, the penis is only 1. 5-2. 5 cm, the head of the penis is not visible, the foreskin is narrowed (children's phimosis). Further growth of the penis is proportional to the growth of the boy.
- Third stage, puberty. With the onset of puberty (in different men it occurs in different ways - at the age of 12-15 years), the growth of genital organs becomes more intense. There is an enlargement of the testicles, there is a growth of the penis. Every three years the organ adds an average of 3-4 cm. Growth is accompanied by other signs of puberty - the Adam's apple is formed, the voice is broken, hair on the face and body appear.
Intense penis enlargement is noticeable in the first three years (up to approximately 15-18 years). Furthermore, the growth of the penis slows down (the maximum penis increases by 1 cm per year), and, as a rule, by the age of 19-21 the penis reaches its maximum thickness and length.
If a teenager is not doing well
What if a young man who has started puberty does not have the expected penis growth? There is no need to panic, the fact is that everyone changes at different times. If the symptoms of maturation do not appear until the age of 15-16, and the genitals still remain in the infantile state, then that is already a serious cause for concern - hormonal disorders can be a possible reason for the lack of proper penis growth.
The second question - what sizes are considered normal? In adolescence, you should not panic about size - growth can be slowed down at first, and then in a year the penis can stretch 5-6 cm at once. The minimum length of the penis in children and adolescents is considered to be the following:
- age 11 years - 4-6 cm (with a boy height of 142-148 cm);
- age 14 years - 6-9 cm (with a boy's height 158-168 cm);
- age 16 years - 7-9 cm (with a boy's height 165-172 cm);
- age 20 years - 9, 5-12 cm (with a height of 174 cm).
The erect penis of a sexually mature man, whose size reaches 9 cm or more, is considered normal from a medical point of view. With sizes of 3-9 cm, there is something like a small penis. Less than 3 cm is an anatomical anomaly called micropenis.
Which affects the length
What determines the size of a man's penis? First of all, genetics. The presence of various diseases during the development of the boy's organism also has a great influence. If a man had complicated diseases of the reproductive or endocrine system as a child, then it will most likely have a negative effect on the genitals. Thus, for example, with a testosterone deficiency of 60%, there is a decrease in the intensity of penis growth.
Another important factor in the development of the penis is lifestyle. For example, diet can have an impact - a normal amount of building material is needed for normal body building. Among the products for the body of a developing boy are especially useful nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios), herbs (parsley, dill, cumin), garlic, asparagus, pomegranate, figs, dairy products, beef.
Parents should be careful to ensure that their son does not develop bad habits: if a teenager starts drinking alcohol and smoking before puberty, then slowing down the development of his body is guaranteed.
And what about adults?
Natural penis growth in men after puberty (18-21 years) does not come. The only thing is that some have a delay in the development of the reproductive system and maturation can end as early as 25 years - such cases are rare, but still happen. If there is no delay, then after the age of twenty it is not worth counting on the fact that the penis will grow a little more.
True, there are methods of artificial penis enlargement for men who can not come to terms with the length of their dignity. It is necessary to resort to these measures in situations of complete despair, after all, each of these methods has its own contraindications and side effects.
Among the most common methods for enlarging the penis of an adult man, it is worth noting:
- Hormonal drugs for penis growth (so-called growth hormones).
- Use of extenders (orthopedic soft tissue stretching tool). Gives an increase of 1-2 cm.
- Implant placement in the intracavernous space of the penis.
- Ligamentotomy is a surgical enlargement of the penis by reducing the perineum.
- increasing the vacuum. The penis is inserted into the cylinder, from which air is removed from the other end by suction.
- Saline injections. The change in size is observed for only a few months, and then the saline solution is gradually withdrawn
It is worth noting that these procedures are quite uncomfortable, because the intimate zone of a man is very sensitive. All these methods are recommended not for cosmetic purposes, but when there are medical indications for penis enlargement (for example, in the case of micropenises, when a normal sexual life is not possible).
If you still want to increase masculinity, then you can try special sprays and ointments, the composition of which produces an irritating effect. As a result of increased blood flow and the resulting swelling, the penis visually appears a few inches larger. The effect obtained from such funds is short-lived - usually several hours.
