Dear Is Penis Size Being 5.7 Hard Considered Small?,

TeenHealth FX wants you to know that this is a commonly asked question! Puberty for everyone happens at various times and looks different for everyone, and boys tend to go through puberty later than girls.

In fact, Healthline explains that when boys go through puberty not only do they grow taller, but their penis and testicles also grow larger. This occurs throughout the entire puberty process. Puberty can take a few years to complete and for some, puberty in boys may not start until 14 or 15 years old and does not end until 18 to 20 years old.

Young Men's Health explains, the average adult penis size is between 5 and 6 inches when fully erect. In addition, penis size tends to be inherited from your parents like your height, eye color, and hair color. It is best to try not to compare yourself to others around you!
