Where Did My Girth Gains Come From?

Hello Thunders! I was always around 13 cm(5.1 inch) in girth, with the help of PE i was able to get it to 13.5cm on a good day. The thing is this, i stopped doing PE back in November 2017, i kept all the gains (gained 1,5 cm in BPEL aswell) but like i said no PE for a long time.

Now these last few weeks i have occasionally measured 14 cm girth. I was happily surprised of course but now i kind of start to think ”where did this surprise 0.5 cm come from?”

Some changes in lifestyle: I am doing a variation of NoFap where i only masturbate one day a week. On the other days i let my unit rest in my pants. I dont have a sex partner at the moment.

I workout a lot, but i kind of always have so i dont really know…
I sometimes take citrulline malate which is like a more potent L-Arginine, but it would be ridicolous to think that one supplement would give me 0,5 cm in girth gains all of a sudden.

The only other theory is natural growth. I am still young (20 years old, soon 21) and always a late bloomer. I am still experiencing some signs of developement like hait starting to grow on my stomach these last few months.

So i guess i made this thread to see if anyone has experienced something similar? And also give hope to the younger guys that something like this actually could happen.

I grew until 22, if it helps.

It’s interesting how much it seems to differ when searching online. Many swear that you are done growing down there at 16 - some say it could go until 25 but its an unusual opinion.

As a spindly kid obsessed with size, I speak for my experience. It is clearly going to vary I think.

TG since i have you on the subject, what is your opinion of doing PE young? If you could turn back time, would you start in your mid-teens?

No. The mentality needed for success is not present in an unbalanced teen mind. Injury is a huge risk.

The factor of growth rate is going to widely vary upon individual.

Either way, that’s awesome. Good for you.

Thanks man, yes i am pretty stoked. I remember when embarking on this journey 2 years ago i thought a 18x14 cm unit would be my goal and i would be satisfied, now i am here but i don’t really feel bigger… but of course it’s great.

The only hard data [pardon the pun] I’ve ever found on size and growth through adolescence is very old; Shonfeld & Beebe, 1942 Journal of Urology.

Their graph only goes up to age 18, but what I was really surprised by was how much guys were still growing in their latter teens. I was under the impression that we were all done by 16 but the data clearly puts that to rest.

Based upon what we know about the rest of the body and mind, it’s not unreasonable to infer that natural growth up through the early to mid 20’s is normal.

I think your experiences are much more common than we’ve all lead ourselves to believe. The main difference, for you, is that you’re one of the few guys that actually take serial measurements of their junk.
