A member asked:

My son is 12 year olds and when he has a erection, he has a 5 inch penis is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: According to Dr. Ruth, while there are variances, most men have a 5-7 inch erect penis. At 12, I suspect he will lengthen as testosterone surge produces enhances male characteristics.
