Erection in older boys is a normal physiological state. There should be no reason to panic. They talk to the child, talking about all the complexities of growing up. Mothers are not recommended to discuss intimate topics with their child. This leads to discomfort on both sides and the development of psychological trauma in the child. The first 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
At what age the penis rises in boys, not all parents, especially mothers, know. Normally, the process begins at 11-12 years, but there are minor deviations.
The first thing a teenager notices is an enlarged penis.
Then join:
- uncontrolled erections;
- night emissions;
- sexual attraction to girls;
- erotic dreams and other signs.
Adulthood lasts about 5 years. Testosterone, a male hormone, enters the bloodstream, causing a change in the character and appearance of a teenager. The change in behavior is not surprising. Hormonal changes often make a young man aggressive and short-tempered.
The definitive formation of the reproductive system occurs at the age of 18, although many boys have their first sexual relationship much earlier. On average, this occurs between 13 and 16 years of age.
Teenager erections provoke the desire to experience the first pleasure of life, which is why most teenagers masturbate.
Having caught a child in obscene activity, parents are confused: they read morality, ridicule the child. You can not do this, you can ruin the relationship and cause serious damage to the guy's psyche.
How does a young person 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, withdraws into himself.
Parents suspect that their son uses drugs, associates with bad companies. Regular questioning does not lead to good relationships and makes the growing child even angrier.
You can recognize grow by hair growth:
- on the chest and face;
- armpits;
- in the genital area.
During the period of hormonal adjustment, the voice becomes rough and the sexual organ grows.
Naturally, the child will not show his mother's penis, adult males will be able to notice such changes.
In the process of growth, sperm begin to accumulate in the testicles. It can already lead to conception. Before this opportunity arises, the child must be aware of the intimate nuances and consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
A grown man, preferably a father, must update the young man. If this is not possible, the guy studies the information on his own, in books, magazines, the Internet.
You have to be careful with the latter. A growing guy will definitely want to watch an intimate video. The frames of the images are different. By focusing on a particular video, a guy can radically change his view of adult life.
involuntary ejaculation
Erection in adolescents is often accompanied by erotic dreams. A sufficient amount of sperm accumulates in the testicles, comes out. The first wet dream scares the boys. They fear criticism from their parents, they feel guilty about the dirty sheet.
Parents note that the son himself removed the bedding and loaded it into the washing machine. Neither the mother nor the father should ask unnecessary questions, putting the boy in an awkward position. If an intimate topic hasn't been brought up yet, it's time for the parent to take a moment to explain the situation. It is important to know at what age the boys get up so as not to miss important changes.
Young men often do not remember their dreams and do not understand why the ejaculation occurred. Some consider it pathological.
Nocturnal emissions in children are a normal physiological state in which sexual tension is relieved. The excess of accumulated sperm causes discomfort. While a man is not yet sexually active, his body empties the testicles on its own.
This happens in adulthood, but unlike a teenager, an adult understands what is happening to him and does not feel ashamed.
This is full of:
- the appearance of a feeling of guilt in a teenager;
- psychological discomfort;
- loss of prestige;
- hostile relationship.
The young man will certainly appreciate the lack of interest in the appearance of erections and involuntary ejaculation.
Tips for moms and dads
You have to accept the fact of growing up. This is a natural process that had to start. During this difficult period, one should be tactful and friendly, because one wrong word can spoil relations with the blood for a long time.
Moms and dads should not condemn their child for:
- uncontrolled erection and ejaculation;
- view intimate magazines;
- humor changes.
Upon encountering a masturbating teen, you must remain silent and pretend nothing happened, giving the child a chance to clean up for himself. You also don't need to focus on yourself. Doctors do not have a single point of view on this matter. Some consider the emptying of the testicles to be normal from the point of view of physiology, others say that it is immoral and unacceptable.
Parents will not be able to influence this process, if a teenager wants to do this, she will always find an opportunity to withdraw.
The concepts of morality must be instilled from early childhood, during the period of growth, this will be perceived as an invasion of personal space.
Erection at a young age
Signs of growth in children up to 6-8 years old puzzle parents. Sometimes they appear in children of the first year of life. Often you don't have to worry. That happen.
Harmless reasons include:
- tight underwear or an 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.
- circulatory problems
- Infection of the foreskin and others.
The diagnosis is often made during the initial examination by the pediatrician. Less often, it is required to perform ultrasound of the genitourinary system, pass smears, blood tests, etc.
Treatment is selected based on test results. Very often, the baby needs antibiotics, physical therapy and other things.
It is forbidden to act alone. Hot and cold packs can seriously harm a child, and taking medication will distort clinical signs and prevent a quick diagnosis.
"Up to what age does the penis grow? "- this question is asked by many parents, worried about whether everything is in order with the health of their children. Similar questions arise in adult men who are not satisfied with the size of their penis: they hope that growth will not stop until old age, the main thing is to follow certain rules.
How is the situation in reality: up to what age does the penis grow, why does the organ stop growing, what determines the size and how to enlarge the penis in an adult man? Below we will answer these questions.
Developmental stages in children.
- Stage one, intrauterine. The penis and scrotum are formed in the fetus at week 16, by which time it is already possible to determine the sex of the fetus.
- Stage two, prepubertal. Before the onset of puberty, the child's genitalia are underdeveloped (infantile, that is, childish). In a baby, the penis is only 1. 5-2. 5 cm, the head of the penis is not visible, the foreskin is narrowed (infantile phimosis). The additional growth of the penis is proportional to the growth of the child.
- Stage three, puberty. With the onset of puberty (for different men it happens in different ways, between the ages of 12 and 15), the growth of the genital organs becomes more intense. There is an increase in the testicles, there is a growth of the penis. Every three years, the organ adds an average of 3-4 cm. The growth is accompanied by other signs of puberty: an Adam's apple is formed, the voice breaks, hair appears on the face and body.
Intensive penis enlargement is noticeable in the first three years (up to about 15-18 years). In addition, the growth of the penis slows down (the maximum penis increases by 1 cm per year) and, as a general rule, between the ages of 19 and 21 the penis reaches its maximum thickness and length.
If a teenager is not doing well
What happens if a young man who has started puberty does not have the expected growth of the penis? There is no need to panic, the fact is that everyone changes at different times. If the symptoms of maturation do not appear at the age of 15 or 16, and the genitals still remain in an infantile state, this is already a cause for great concern: hormonal disorders can be a possible reason for the lack of proper growth of the penis.
Another question: what sizes are considered normal? In adolescence, you should not be scared by size: growth may be slow at first, and then in a year the penis can stretch by 5-6 cm at a time. The following is considered the minimum length of the penis in boys and adolescents:
- age 11 years - 4-6 cm (at a child's height of 142-148 cm);
- 14 years old: 6 to 9 cm (with a child's height of 158 to 168 cm);
- 16 years old: 7 to 9 cm (with a child's height of 165 to 172 cm);
- age 20 years - 9. 5-12 cm (with a height of 174 cm).
An erect penis of a sexually mature man, the size of which reaches 9 cm or more, is considered normal from a medical point of view. With sizes from 3 to 9 cm, there is a small penis. Less than 3 cm is an anatomical abnormality called a micropenis.
What 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 child's body also has a great influence. If in childhood a man had complicated diseases of the reproductive or endocrine system, then this is most likely to negatively affect the genitals. So, for example, with a testosterone deficiency of 60%, there is a decrease in the intensity of penis growth.
Another important factor in penis development is lifestyle. For example, nutrition can influence: for the normal construction of the body, a sufficient amount of building material is needed. Among products for the body of a developing child, nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios), herbs (parsley, dill, cumin), garlic, asparagus, pomegranate, figs, dairy products and meat beef are especially useful.
Parents should carefully monitor their child for bad habits: if a teenager starts drinking alcohol and smoking before puberty is complete, a slowdown in the development of his body is guaranteed.
And the adults?
The natural growth of the penis in men after puberty (18 to 21 years) does not occur. The only thing is that some have a delayed development of the reproductive system and maturation can end as early as 25 years; these cases are rare, but still occur. If there are no delays, then after twenty years, 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 cannot accept the duration 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.
Of the most common methods of enlarging the penis of an adult man, it is worth noting:
- Hormonal drugs for penis growth (so-called growth hormones).
- The use of extensors (an orthopedic tool to stretch soft tissues). Gives an increase of 1-2 cm.
- Installation of the implant in the intracavernous space of the penis.
- Ligamentotomy is a surgical enlargement of the penis by reducing the perineum.
- vacuum rise. The penis is inserted into the cylinder, from which the air is extracted at the other end by suction.
- Saline injections. The change in size is observed only for a couple of months, then the saline solution gradually resolves.
It is worth noting that the listed procedures are quite unpleasant, since the intimate zone of a man is very sensitive. All these methods are not recommended for aesthetic purposes, but when there are medical indications for penis enlargement (for example, in the case of a micropenis, when a normal sexual life is not possible).
If you still want to increase virility, you can try special sprays and ointments, the composition of which gives an irritating effect. As a result of increased blood flow and the resulting swelling, the penis visually appears to be a couple of centimeters larger. The effect obtained from such funds is short-term, usually a couple of hours.
