Didn't grow during puberty

Hi.

As the title states, I didn’t grow during puberty. My penis has looked the same all my life and it sucks. I’m fine with my length(6.8), but I’ve always been so self conscious about my girth(4.5). The fact that its on the longer side makes it look skinnier as well, I know. This self consciousness has side-lined me from a lot of sexual activity I could have had(I’m not a bad looking guy). I have had some partners, but can tell they’re not into me like they would be if I had a thicker penis(its what girls want the most)(( I notice a change in them after having sex for the first time). I actually feel bad posting this in fear there may be other men out there with my dimensions who this post will hurt by them reading this.

Anyway, I’m kind of just wondering why I never grew. When I was younger I didn’t always get the best sleep at night, a lot of times getting 6 hours a night. I didn’t really eat breakfast that often on school days, and sometimes I would go over friends houses and not eat a lot there. I didn’t take eating vitamins seriously(here and there), and my diet could’ve been better( wasn’t horrible, just not the best either). And lastly, I wonder if the way/amount I masturbated contributed to a skinnier penis. I would necessarily squeeze my penis when masturbating, but it would be more engorged than say when I had sex or just having a regular boner, leading me to believe I maybe put a bit of extra pressure on it than I should have.

Also, I would masturbate about every other day sometimes more. I remember my EQ not being that great either a lot of the time. I wonder if masturbating too much caused this. I didn’t know what EQ was and I just thought my penis was pretty small when flaccid and I was a ‘grower’. Years later, I realize I’m actually a shower because when my penis is resting(with good EQ) it doesnt get much bigger. I suppose its a combination of all of these things that contributed to this and I suppose it could be genes as well, but it seems like most people should grow during puberty(I grew everywhere else-height, voice, hair, etc.) I wish I knew about EQ and how to maintain it because I think it might have helped me grow. It seems like penis health should be promoted more to teenagers to prevent this from happening to anyone else/help them grow to their full potential because I see other people online commenting about how they didn’t grow. Anyway, I just needed to get this off my chest.

You grew during puberty. A baby with a 6.8x4.5 would be a freak. Growing during puberty doesn’t mean that one day you’re an inch longer than you were the previous month. You grow slowly over time.

But you shouldn’t be too worried about girth considering the average is 4.8”. Girls probably can’t tell the difference of .3”, and besides you’re here at Thunder’s where you can fix this issue you have.

Before puberty, the first growth of the penis is 1-5 years old. I’m mainly just wondering why I never grew girth-wise and if anyone else had similar experiences. Did anyone feel like the masturbated too much or any of the other reasons I listed and maybe think it contributed to their size?

I believe I kept any penis growth from happening during puberty because of anorexia. I believe it stunted my growth in height definitely, and also my penis. Although my starting size was quite like yours except a bit thicker, I think I could have became bigger if I didnt have a eating disorder for 2 years. Now I believe that I have lower test than most teenagers but not exactly low test.

As I began eating more my body began to grow. It’s still growing as I’m around 5’9 now when I was about 5’7 starting this year.

Your size is fine though and you have nothing to complain about, some people do not grow at all since they were born and suffer from having a micropenis. Be thankful for the size you have.

That’s good, seems like you’re still going through puberty from what your post suggests. How much are you eating now that you are seeing a difference? I wonder if there are people out there/on this forum who had a pretty healthy lifestyle during puberty and still didn’t see much gain.

Although it’s possible the girls you have been with have sort of changed their mind about you after sleeping with you because of your penis size, it far more likely their feelings for you were affected by your lack of confidence and/or experience. Let’s put it this way - say you were really a freak in the bed, dominant and confident like you had done it a 1000 times yet also sweet and gentle, do you really think you would have had the same reaction? My guess is no, at least not on the regular.

This. Sounds cliche but it’s the motion of the ocean.

You state that the first growth occurs at 1-5, are you certain that at 6 years, an age at which you definitely have memory of, you were 6.8x4.5? I think it is far more likely that you grew during puberty but didn’t realize it because of the slow nature of growth. I grew ~10 inches in height between my freshman year of high school and the beginning of my junior year. Did I notice it? No. It just happened.

Now, did you reach your full potential size? Maybe not. As you stated you didn’t have a good diet or sleep schedule. This most certainly can limit your size. As far as masturbation, nobody can say for certain on this topic.

I could’ve grown length-wise, yes -but girth-wise as long as I’ve been able to get an erection has been 4.5

Looking at the end result, your penis is a good adult size. Everyone is different, so it is possible that your growth happened mostly before you really paid attention, and the rest happened too slowly for you to notice. Really though it makes no difference when it grew. Worrying about that is a red herring. If you want a bigger penis, just start from where you are, do your beginner routine day by day and see where it takes you.

I’m pretty sure you weren’t 4.5 girth at 6 years old. By the time you’re ankd to get erections you’ve already started puberty, so therefore you did grow during puberty

loam, I think you need to stop blaming yourself. I don’t think the reason you’re slightly under average girth has anything to do with lack of sleep, lack of eating, or frequent masturbating. That covers my youth to a tee. And hell the last one covers pretty much every boy who hits puberty.

Your dick is the way it is because that is the genetic size it was always going to be. There was nothing you did, or could do, to change that.

Now, however, you can.

And lastly, to top it all, your dick is perfectly normal. Sure you maybe a little under average girth, but no more than a little. And you have better than average length. If you get any reasonable gains then you are going to have a larger than average dick.

You are just a bit towards the lower end of average girth. Nothing wrong with your girth. Perfectly normal.
Just seems so thin cause you are very long already.

Start the newbie routine and test if you like PE and then read up on how to increase girth..but be sure to ease always into everything!(crucial!)
If done right and responsible you can gain an inch in girth.
At least you can reach upper end of average range!(about 5.2 girth)

And of course you cant change the past. accept it and carry on.
Only relate yourself in the present to the future.
