What is the average penis size?
Penis size differs from person to person. The average length when erect is 10-18cm (4-7in) although there maybe some variation between different races and nationalities.

My penis is curved. Is that normal?
It is quite normal for a man’s penis to curve or lean slightly to the right or the left when erect. Many men’s penises will curve upwards too. However, if the penis suddenly develops a lump which causes it to bend abnormally, it should probably be checked by a doctor. It may be a sign of a condition called Peyronie’s disease, which isn’t life threatening, but may be uncomfortable and require treatment.

Should I get my son Circumcised?

The arguments for circumcision appear to be quarantined to reduced chance of sexual infections (STIs) and religious conformity (Jews & Muslims).

The risks include: pain, surgical mishap or complications, and decreased sexual pleasure.

Irrespective of what opinion you follow, it appears the trend is to avoid, what could only be described as THE most UNPLEASANT cut- OUCH!!!!

In 1950, 90% of us fellas had the little fella topped (or should I say chopped off) by the 1980’s that reduced to 40% and today it is merely 10-15%.

There is mounting evidence that the procedure can prevent the spread of STIs and HIV, it can reduce the spread of penile cancer and protects against urinary tract infections in infants.

The Royal Australasian College of Physicians says the potential complications of the surgery and anesthesia, such as infections and bleeding, mean any benefits “do not warrant a recommendation of universal circumcision and infant males.”

Even if you do decide on this procedure, you may find it hard to get one, as circumcisions are not performed in most Australian public hospitals unless there is a medical need.

If you want your boy to have more in common with his peers, it probably makes sense to go with the trend of avoiding the cut unless it is medically or religiously required.
