My son is 14 years old and is seriously concerned about his penis size -- will he outgrow this?

Question:

Answers:
Probably.

I sure didn't want to discuss this with my mom when I was 14, (and I'm in my 40s now) but here goes..

The reality is, size doesn't seem to matter to girls very much. They seem to care much more about the person and personality attached to the penis. Men and women come in different sizes and shapes, all normal. It's normal to have blue eyes, but it's also normal NOT to have blue eyes. A minority of girls on this site say that size DOES matter. A minority of people like anchovies on their pizza. So what? There are still plenty of girls who don't care and plenty of people to eat pizza with even if you don't like anchovies.

Whether your son will outgrow this worry or not is another question. I bet there are 100 Open questions on this forum at any given moment that all say "Dos size matter? What's averaage? What if I'm too small? etc." We can't tell the age of the people doing the asking. There might be some older men in there who are still hung up on this.

People come in a lot of different sizes and shapes. By definition, people with these sizes and shapes found sex partners, otherwise how did the current generation get produced?

It's normal when you're 14 to look in the mirror, see someone ugly, and wonder if anyone will like you. Everyone does this, regardless of how attractive thay are in reality. Like, for example, Tyra Banks did this, and so did Brad Pitt and Denzel Washington. It's also normal to realize later that you aren't ugly, you're just overlly familiar with your own look and overly critical of yourself.

Your son wouldn't reject a girl he liked once he saw her vagina. . .it would never occur to him. And he's not going to get rejected based on the size of his penis. People get their feelings hurt in love and relationships all the time, but it never plays out like this. This is one scenario you really don't have to worry about.

(See if you can rephrase this a little more tactfully.)

Most likely he will once he finishes growing but there are those few men that never get over this one

I find it very hard to believe that your 14 year old son is actually discussing this issue with you. Is it really you that is the 14 year old?

Encourage him to shower with his classmates after gym class. He'll see that natural variety of sizes and become more comfortable with himself.

Most men don't reach their full penis size until the age of 17. Will he outgrow his obsession about it being big enough? Instill in him that his value as a person is not measured by what is between his legs but what's in his heart.
