I'm 21 and pretty worried about my penis size. It's under 4 inches when erect, and that seems smaller than average. I'm really curious if there's still a chance it might grow naturally in the coming years, or if I should start thinking about surgical options soon. Would appreciate any advice on this.

At 21, your penis size is likely fully developed, with minimal chances of natural growth; research suggests that penis growth typically ends by age 18-20, with some variations; surgical options, like penile lengthening or girth enhancement, are available but carry risks and complication

I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

I'm really worried because my penis is only 3.5 inches when erect, and I recently had sex where my partner said it felt small and she couldn't really feel anything. On top of that, I came in about 5 minutes. I'm feeling pretty down about it all and don't know what to do. Can you offer any advice or help?

It's important to remember that every individual has different preferences, and sexual satisfaction isn't solely dependent on size. If you're concerned, you might want to focus on improving communication with your partner, exploring other ways to enhance intimacy, and perhaps seeking advice from a healthcare professional about performance or techniques. It's also helpful to address any anxiety or stress around sexual performance.
