SIZE

How big will it be?

• The size of one's feet, nose, or ethnic background have nothing to do with the size of a penis
• Penis enlargers don’t work
• You have to wait and see

Does it matter?

No.

• During erections, small penises sometimes increase in size more than large penises
• The anus or vagina will stretch and close in around whatever goes inside – regardless of size
• The penis is only part of fooling around – don’t forget about the rest of the body

GROWTH STAGES

Stage One - Birth to puberty

• Penis grows with the rest of the body
• Few changes to the way it looks

Stage 2 - Early years of puberty

• Testicles start to grow
• Skin on the scrotum gets thinner, darker and more wrinkly
• May see some pubic hair during this stage
• One testicle grows faster and hangs lower than the other
• Eventually both testicles will be close to the same size
• One testicle will always hang lower so that they don’t squish together when walking

Stage 3

• Penis will start to lengthen
• More pubic hair begins to grow

Stage 4

• Penis becomes wider
• Head of penis becomes more obvious
• Pubic hair becomes darker, thicker and curlier
• Pubic hairs may go up the belly and down the thighs

Stage 5

• Most of the growing is done
• The whole genital area is deeper in colour
• Pubic hair may continue to grow into the guy’s 20s

GROWING PAINS?

There shouldn’t be any genital pain as a result of these changes.

See a doctor or nurse if:

• there is pain in the genitals not caused by injury
• if any pain caused by injury doesn’t begin to decrease in an hour or so
