Penis size?
Question:
is that small, or am i freaking out for no reason
Answers:
On the subject of you being small or not, I’ll give you some information and you can make your own conclusions.
Down below I’ll be posting the results of some studies. Conducted on both adults and minors. As you’ll see, averages in both of the teen these tables support the averages stated previously for adults. Unless the doctors in this study lied about the size of the penis of their patients or their penis shrank after the age of 20, the studies that suggest 5” as the average size are incorrect. As a researcher, you have to look at the whole picture from different angles. Unfortunately, it’s a well known fact in psychology, that people can and generally do, gather only the information that supports their theories and personal convictions, and ignore the rest.
Since I’m a clinical counselor and researcher, I come across tons of research reports. Not just regarding penis size, but research reports in general. It is true that some studies suggest that the average penis size is about 5", but for every study that suggests that, there are 2 or 3 that suggest otherwise. Based on all the studies that I've come across (studies of both adults and teens), as well as from my own findings, is that the average penis size is more like 6".
So be careful and use common sense and don’t buy everything the you hear or read from the news media or the general public. Quite often what you read in forums, news papers, magazine articles and the media in general, has been distorted from the real facts.
I personally have asked (in a candidly matter) male clients about their penis size and I’ve even asked female clients about their partner’s size, and by doing some simple math, I’ve concluded that the figures bellow are more accurate. FYI: I’ve asked my clients about the size issue because the situation merited the question.
There are four studies that made news when each came out, and these have a single digit average instead of a range.
The first one is the famous Kinsey Sex Institute study. In the 1960s they asked over 3500 college males to measure themselves.
average penis length: 6 inch (15.2 cm)
average penis girth: 5 inch (12.7 cm)
Then there is the now famous Richard Edwards' Definitive Penis Size Survey Results with over 3000 participants.
average penis length: 6.3 inch (16 cm)
average penis girth: 5.1 inch (13 cm)
Another survey is the one done by Durex (just under 3000 participants):
average penis length: 6.4 inch (16.3 cm)
average penis girth: 5.2 inch (13.3 cm)
A more recent study was performed by Lifestyles Condom Co. in March 2001. They measured 300 college-aged students:
average penis length: 5.9 inch (15 cm)
average penis girth: 5 inch (12.7 cm)
In an article written by Dr. David Delvin, GP and family planning specialist and Christine Webber, psychotherapist (www.netdoctor.co.uk/sex_relat... they wrote “In round figures, this means that the great majority of men measure between 15cm (6") and 18cm (7") in the erect position, with the average figure being about 16.5cm (6 ½").”
Here are also the results of a couple of studies conducted on minors. I trust the second study more than the first and I'll explain why in the conclusions.
By age, the averages found were:
FIRST STUDY (averages of measurements given by teens to a survey done by researchers)
Age.... Size
12.... 4.1" (104 mm)
13.... 5.1" (130 mm)
14.... 6.0" (152 mm)
15.... 6.1" (155 mm)
16.... 6.3" (160 mm)
17.... 6.5" (165 mm)
18.... 6.4" (163 mm)
19.... 6.2" (157 mm)
20.... 6.2" (157 mm)
Conclusions:
The average adult penis size is about 6.1 inches or (157mm). It is interesting that in this study, penis size 'peaks' at age 17. Since penises do not get smaller as a male approaches age 21, it can be concluded that boys aged 16, 17, and 18 are most likely to exaggerate the size of their penises.
--------------
SECOND STUDY (averages of measurements taken by doctors)
Age.... **Erect Length (inches & centimeters)
11.... 3.0" (3 and 0/16ths") 7.5 cm
12.... 3.8" (3 and 13/16ths") 9.6 cm
13.... 4.8" (4 and 13/16ths") 12.3 cm
14.... 5.4" (5 and 6/16ths") 13.6 cm
15.... 5.6" (5 and 10/16ths") 14.3 cm
16.... 5.7" (5 and 11/16ths") 14.5 cm
17.... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm
18.... 5.8" (5 and 13/16ths") 14.8 cm
19+….. 5.9" (5 and 14/16ths") 14.9 cm
Conclusions:
This table is a collection of measurements from doctors and pediatric physicians. They do not measure the boys' penises while they have erections. The length of the erect penis can be determined by stretching the flaccid penis from the tip as far out as it will comfortably extend. It is then measured from the tip to the base while flaccid (and still extended). The measurement is then taken for the medical records of boys who have had developmental concerns, urogenital diseases, or penis injuries. It does not take long for a group of physicians to determine averages and normal variations when they see hundreds of patients per year.
No matter which study you believe, keep in mind that penis growth among teens differs widely. For a young male, trying to interpret a table of averages is not necessarily easy nor beneficial. Young men who read this may try to make comparisons with themselves and this table. Please be advised that you should use this tables ONLY as "average reference". Remember, when an "average measurement" is listed, that means approximately 50% of all young men are shorter than this number (and about 50% are larger). Less than 1% of males are exactly average. That means less than 1 out of 100 men will match the average number exactly. Beware that averages are actually known as "statistical means" and they are typically used in the context of medicine and statistical sciences rather than personal counseling. Nevertheless, the table can still be used as a good reference for average penis growth over time.
You are freaking out for no reason, you are still a baby.
you are freaking out for no reason. you may still grow some...and even if you don't...5.25 is not so bad.

You are freaking out for no reason.
Average size is 5.1 to 6.2 inches. Puberty ends between 16 and 21 so while you are already average size things could still change.
Learn to use what you've been given and be a generous lover and size will NOT matter.
I am not being rude but every time a person posts a question in YouQA.com , Yahoo would give a LIST of previously or similar questions asked before. These have answers in which you can READ. In fact I do not anymore ask much questions here because most of my questions were already ANSWERED and I just read old questions. I answer this type of questions everyday for the past months and I am getting sick of it. I just answer it because other peoples answer are incorrect and does not have sources.
To answer your question, You have an average penis but borders being small.
Average adult American penis is around 6 inches.
Read my source (throughly) and share it with your friends
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/penis_size...
your freaking out for no reason, i was ecaxtly that size at 15, and now im slightly over 5.5 inchs and im 18, so your good, the average guy (adult) is around 5 to 6.5 inches.
you are freaking out for no reason.
puberty is not done with you yet and even if yoru 5.25 is all you get, it is more than enough to provide pleasure to any sex partner you are with. besides, it isn;t all about the size of the penis, it is also about how good you are with it. I know lots of guys with really big ones who are actually terrible lovers snice they don;t knwo any better than to use it like a ramrod and show no concern over their partner's pleasure.
So, relax, masturbate daily, keep yrou equipment clean and all will be fine when the time comes. Oh, and make sure you always use condoms when entering the wet zones.
