I've been wondering about a couple of things and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 24 and I've noticed that my penis size is less than 2 cm when not erect, and about 11 cm when it is erect. Should I be worried about this? Also, when I masturbate, I usually ejaculate within one minute, and I do this about twice a week. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Penis size can vary among individuals and what you have described is within the normal range. There is no need to be concerned about the size difference. Ejaculating quickly during masturbation is a common issue known as premature ejaculation. To help with this issue, you can try using medications like Dapoxetine. Practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique may also be helpful.
