I'm 17y.o and have experienced no sexual development in my penis or testicles. I have some pubic hair, some underarm hair and very little facial hair. I have a history of being late when it comes to development, my pubic hair didn't being to grow till I was 15, same with underarm and facial. I am very woried about my penis and testicles however, it is having an effect on my self esteem as I can't (don't want) to get a girlfriend, or to even meet girls while on nights out, because I know I am not sexually ready, and couldn't bare the embaressment of having to explain the situation.
Please right back
Hey I'm Sam,
I'm 3 mounths off being 14 and my penis is 5 inches I was wondering at what point will my penis stop growing as I know 6 inches is the average size when erected from a tv show altough when my mates talk about nobs LOL they all brag about how there nobs are all 8 inches and stuff but I take it with a pinch of salt as if you had a 8 inch penis you would have a massive manly bulge and they just don't have it massive, Oh and when and when my penis is unetected it looks fairly small and that really worries me.

Hi, i'm 17 and also have white spots on my penis and scrotum. They are quite hard and noticible when i get an erection. I'm REALLY self conscious about it and this leads me to become worried. Most are quite painful lumps under the skin about a mm in diameter and are densely populated, varying in size for some. I did try popping a big one and it seems to pop like a spot. Hurt quite a bit, but i think thats because i basically pinched my knob OOWW lol.
Please can someone help :[ I just want to know what they are and what causes them. Also, how to cure them and if not then accept what they are and get on with life.
Thanks alot. This website is great and really helpful.
hi im 18 and when my penis isnt erect it is really quite small but when erect it can reach 6 and a half inches is this right?
