Hey guys. I'm 15.

First question - is my dick size good.

It's around 6.7-6.8in. or so in length fully erect. I'm that's a good size, yet I still constantly feel like it's small.

It could be the girth. I have a problem with.

I don't really have a proper way to measure it but it looks so small compared to the length. it's like 2 inch maybe tiniest bit bigger in inches side to side. I am just not sure how girls would feel about it.

Worse part is I think I'm all the way through puberty now so no more growing for it. Is my dick still a good size??

Second question - my dick is like, ridiculously small when flaccid, like 1.4 inch length 1 inch side to side small. but when I get hard, it grows to the size I just mentioned. Iv'e been looking this up for a while and see nothing about it. Anyone know why this is, or what it's called, or if it's normal??

Thanks.

CindyCares agony aunt First, don't be so sure you are through with puberty. Puberty last longer in males, it's not unusual to have 17/ 18 years old boys not at the end yet of stage 5 ( the final of the 5 stages of puberty ).

Anyway even if you don't grow anymore- you have grown enough. The length you quote is about an inch over the average , so you could actually be called fairly well endowed.

As for your girth, what do you mean you can't measure it ? take a tape measure it and wrap it around your penis both in erection , and flaccid.

Anyway, I am willing to bet that your girth will be ... more or less, sort of proportional to length. It may be a bit slimmer than average, or just like the mondial/ national average, or a bit thicker... but , based on my personal observation, I really doubt that your penis looks like a breadstick, ot a sipping straw, all length and no girth. At least, I haven't ever seen any shaped like this.

As for its size when not erected- as the other Aunts have told you, it's a " grower " vs. " shower " thing. Dangling a "shower" in the lockroom must be good for one's ego, I suppose- but that's it. You might very well have a longer penis , in erection, of many of your " shower " friends.

Finally,at 15 is normal to have this kind of worries, but in time you'll find out that size is overrated. It's not how big it is, but how well you use it. And, alas , I know that you don't want to hear that , but it's true- a whole lot of women do not reach orgasm through penetration alone , so if you are small, medium or large is not relevant- you have to use other things to satisfy them.

For your information you should add about 2" to fully extended length because your dick starts at the back of your balls and this is where you should ideally hold the tapoe measure to start with.

Dont measure using a ruler as it isnt accurate!

Your girlfriend is as interested in how you treat her more than the size of your equipment.

Also fresh breath helps for kissing and regular trips to the dentist for oral hygiene and a nice smell.

Im sure your girlfriend will find you delightful if you bother to get to know her rather than use her for experience or as a shag bag!

Andie's Thoughts agony auntYou're size is normal. Your worries are normal. However, size really doesn't matter because most women don't need penetration to orgasm.

The reason I say that is because you know your size won't affect you enjoying sex in a few years (please don't start any time soon!), but you could have no penis and still give a woman (or man) a good time.

A side note is that many guys don't finish puberty until 18 - 21 years old and the majority of girls are self-conscious about their bodies, so remember not to be judgmental about the sizes/shapes they come in too.

A female reader, YouWish United States +, writes (10 April 2017):

YouWish agony auntYou're totally fine!! And yes, you're a "grower", or as I like to say - your penis is a lightsaber. Your measurements are perfect, and you have no reason whatsoever to be embarrassed by your equipment.

If I may give you a small piece of advice that I'm sure your future partners will be grateful for - when you get older, don't let thoughts of your penis be the start and finish of your sexual prowess, not by a long shot. Devote some of those sex thoughts to having the most skilled hands and tongue that any woman has ever experienced. Her clitoris is the fiery center of her pleasure, not the back of her vagina, so while you're concerned about your penis size and width, remember that the vagina of most women aren't that sexually sensitive.

However, learn skills in how to please a clitoris, and you will be a player in a whole new level. Trust me! I almost wasn't going to tell you this because you're 15, so I'm hoping at any rate, you're not going to rush out and have sex now, because you're too young!

BUT - your friends wouldn't tell you this! PORN doesn't tell you this (and I hope to GOD you never learn sex lessons from porn) and most parents would need an ambulance for themselves rather than to go into details on partner-pleasuring techniques with their kid, and I'm sure you're reading this and going EWWWW STOP!!!! when saying the words "Sex" and "your parents" in the same breath!

But your penis is totally fine! Learn some hands and tongue techniques, and you'll be more than normal - you'll be sought after!

A male reader, anonymous, writes (10 April 2017):

From a guy old enough to be your grandfather: As Honeypie says, you're a "grower" meaning your dick gets proportionally much bigger hard than soft, as opposed to a "shower" who sports a seemingly impressive dick in the locker room but doesn't gain much length when he gets hard.

Various studies put the average length of an erect penis at around 5 to 5 1/2 inches, so you're comfortably better than average. As long as it's big enough to get your hand around it, then it's plenty big enough.

To be honest, when soft your dick is smaller than average. No big deal, it's like being 5' 7" tall when you'd rather be 6' 2", just a product of genetics and there's not much you can do about it other than accept it with a sense of humor.

Here's a secret it took me years to learn: most guys are too hung up about whether their own dicks are "normal" to notice the perceived shortcomings other guys might have about theirs.

Penises are like snowflakes, every one is different and every one is beautiful in its own unique way. Now that you've hit puberty you can fully enjoy all the benefits of playing with yourself that nature has to offer.

As long as you can get it up and make yourself cum then you have nothing to worry about.

Honeypie agony auntYou are a "grower". (urban dictionary talk here) and YES it's not uncommon that a flaccid penis looks small. Take a look at a stallion. You won't see a HUGE slong hanging about till he is getting aroused and even then it's nothing compared to a fully erect horse penis. It's just how it is.

Yes, some dude has longer flaccid or erect dicks that is LIFE, just like some women have bigger breasts and hips than others. We are EACH unique.

And a vagina... is ON AVERAGE 3-4 inches deep. So you are PLENTY long for sex. Pleasure from sex, when you get to that is NOT just about insertion or size.

Your penis is fine, OP. JUST fine.
