Penis Size/age
Posted: 02-12-07 23:23pm

This random question has popped into my head after reading these articles.
At what age (if there is one) does your penis stop growing? Is it supposed to be proportional to any other part of your body (question a friend asked me.) and if a penis is a muscle then why can't you make it bigger like your other muscles? (my personal question lol)

There is no way to say when a given persons penis is going to stop growing. Everyones growth rate is different. There is no proportional size of it, its unique in every way just as all of our ears are. The penis isint mad up of a muscle so you cant make it bigger like other muscles....Also you shouldnt have to worry about penis size.

The penis usually stops growing by the age of 20 or so, but like color said, everyone is a bit different.

Penis size can vary quite a bit from person to person, and the penis is not necessarily in proportion with the rest of the body.

The penis is not actually a muscle, although people sometimes mistakingly call it one. The penis has some muscles associated with it, which is probably where the confusion comes in, but the entire penis itself is not a muscle. "organ" is probably the best term. The muscles in the penis are called involuntary muscles, this means that you cannot control them. You cannot flex them and make them stronger (although some penis enlargement ads might try to tell you otherwise in effort to get you to buy).
