Hi,
I'm 19 and am concerned that some aspects of puberty for me are delayed.
I've been worried about this for several years now about this and it really gets me down - i.e. it's difficult when it comes to socialising with girls.
Firstly, while most of my friends look their age, my face hasn't really changed and I still look around 13. Being 6'0 tall, it's quite embarrassing. This isn't helped by my lack of facial hair - I have a minimal dusting on my upper lip but not really noticeable, so hence I've never shaved.
I also have hardly any underarm hair or chest hair. I do have pubic hair, but not much.
However, my penis is around 5.5" flaccid and 7.5" erect, with an erect girth of just under 5", so seems to have developed properly. I also have a deep(ish) voice.
I have been to see the doctor several times about this and after I persuaded him, he did a blood test, but the result confirmed normal testosterone levels.
Any advice would be much appreciated - as this really gets me down sometimes.
Thanks in advance
hey Anon,
I understand your frustrations as I was a late bloomer. now im 23 and everything has caught up. do you know when your dad hit puberty? was he late?
can you ejaculate? if so how long have you been able to do that for?
The fact that you have these secondary sex charictoristics means you are going through puberty. also does your dad have a lot of body hair? everyone is different geneticaly.
im hear to talk and help you out if you want. but know that you are not alone with this and things will come out ok.
