When Does Your Penis Stop Growing?

If there’s one thing men are self-conscious about, it’s the size of their penis. It doesn’t matter that studies say the average penis length, when erect, is 5.16 inches – most men still believe their member is isn’t big enough to please their partner.

Most guys want to increase the length of their penis, and there are many ways to do that.  But younger men may still be in the growing phase, and enhancement may not really be needed.

So At What Age Does Your Penis Stop Growing?

Every man is unique, and boys develop at different rates and ages. But generally, puberty is where most penile growth takes place, usually between the ages of 11 and 18. During this period, the testicles develop at a more rapid pace.

But the penis doesn’t actually stop growing until the age of 21.

So guys, if you’re not even old enough to legally drink, you may want to hold off on any enhancement methods until you’re done growing.

What’s the Average Size?

Average Penis Size

Some guys think they’re smaller than average, but they’re really not. We already talked about the average length (5.16” in case you forgot), but what about girth?

The average penis girth is, according to that same study linked above, is 4.59” when erect.

But for a lot of guys, being average isn’t good enough. Bigger is better, so they say. Just an inch or two in growth can make a world of difference in pleasing your partner.

The good news? There are effective ways to make your penis bigger. And no, you don’t have to resort to surgery or pop pills filled with who-knows-what. I’m talking about natural enhancement – a technique that men have been using for centuries. Yes, you can actually continue growing your member.

Natural Male Enhancement

If you’re taking the natural approach to enhancing your member, there are two popular techniques you can try. One happens to be more effective than the other.

1.      Jelqing

Jelqing is a natural penis-enlargement method that has roots in the Middle East. And the method is simple: squeeze and stroke your member to force blood to the tip. The idea is that the increased blood flow to the tip will promote lengthening and expand girth.

To do this exercise, create an “okay” sign with your index finger and thumb, start at the base of your penis, and move your fingers upward while applying pressure (careful – don’t go too hard). The stroking will engorge the penis with blood to help boost your length and girth.

Do Jelq Exercise Routines Really Work? 

It can – some people have seen results with this method, especially when they combine it with other lengthening methods. But overall, jelqing results are underwhelming. Don’t expect to see a whole lot of growth.

2.      Stretching

Stretching is one of the oldest and most effective ways to naturally lengthen the penis. Men have been stretching their members for hundreds of years.

The Sadus, Indian mystics, would begin stretching their penis from an early age by hanging weights on them. Please don’t try this at home.

Thanks to technological advancements, you don’t have to go this painful route. Modern penis stretchers are safe, comfortable and actually work

What’s the best penis stretcher available now?

There are plenty of stretchers on the market today, but there’s only one that is clinically proven to work: SizeGenetics.

SizeGenetics is an enlargement device that uses an industry best 2,800 grams of tension to extend your penis. Made by scientists in the U.S. and Denmark, SizeGenetics delivers the most tension on the market. In fact, this device uses as much pressure as safely possible – any more and your member may be hurting.

Okay, but how exactly does this stretcher work?

Think of penis stretchers as a dumbbells for your member. When you lift weights at the gym, the heavy weight stretches and trains your muscles. Each time you lift, you create tiny micro tears in the muscle, which encourages cell duplication. When the muscle heals, it grows – it becomes firmer, larger and holds more blood.

That’s exactly what happens with the best stretchers. It delivers a consistent, steady stream of pressure that stretches the penis and causes that same cell duplication that’s responsible for muscle growth in other areas of the body.

Over time, your penis gets bigger, and it can hold more blood – which translates to harder and bigger erections.

To use it, all you have to do is place your penis into the stretcher, and let it get to work. It’s as simple as that.

Sounds great! But doesn’t that hurt?

Nope! Our device is very comfortable and completely painless – and the results are permanent.

Speaking of results, our device has been out for over 15 years now and has been studied extensively.  It is backed by research and clinical studies from around the world. It’s also approved by the FDA – something other devices can’t say.

One 2015 study on SizeGenetics found that after just 8 weeks of use, participants saw a 13% increase in size. The most gains were seen after 24 weeks, with 29% gains on average.

The longer you use it, the better the results.

I won’t lie – it does take time for this device to work. But would you really trust that this device was the real deal if it didn’t take time? Let’s face it – no pill, pump or stretcher will really give you permanent results overnight.


While your penis may stop naturally growing at the age of 21, you can extend the growth phase as long as you want with the right enhancement method.  Jelqing is one natural way to do it (although you probably won’t see much results quickly), but with addition of a quality penile stretching device, you can speed up the growth.  This combination is the go-to method for guys who are serious about achieving a bigger member.
