Hello i am 21 years old and am finding some pain in my testicles. I find my self either sometimes sitting on my penis or balls. My penis erect is about 8.5" and stays around 6 inches flaccid. Is this normal for a penis to not shrink as much as others? Some times i feel as if i crush my stuff some times because when its soft it has a mind of its own. haha. I am worried that this may cause some kind of testicular cancer? Do you think this is possible?

Also when i graduated high school my penis was probably about 7.5 inches and i felt my balls were normal sized. Once i went to college for the first year i noticed gains in my penis to about 8 inches. My second and third year i noticed gains in my penis developing more to almost 9 inches sometimes and veins and becoming thicker as well as my balls dropped way more at this time. Im not sure what to make of this? Boy or girl do you have any thoughts?
You are well within the range of normal.
The fact that you KNOW that you changed from 7.5 to 8 inches tells me that you're really concerned and paying attention.
However, I think that it's normal to be concerned.
Most kids would be impressed to know that it's possible to have those measurements at your age.
But as you're discovering, bigger is not always better.

You might want to investigate a larger size of underwear, and jeans.
If you need more room, then change the style or size of your clothes to hide or allow room for your "Package".

Is it testicular cancer? Very doubtful, but if you are really concerned, make an appointment at the medical clinic and speak frankly with the doctor.
Be frank, so he can address your concerns, and don't worry, he's heard it all before. So speak up and tell the truth about why you are worried

Jad35,

Your best indicator of what your organs are going to look like, and when puberty will arrive or end, is your biological father.
In most cases, you wind up looking an awful lot like him, in many many respects.

Re-reading your first posting, you say you sometimes think your stuff has a mind of it's own when it's soft. That's a little funny, cause most guys say that about when it's firm, or aroused.

I'm not sure how you can go about sitting on your balls or penis, but if it's getting in the way, well, then it's in the way, right?

If you are truely concerned that you are over-developing in some way, schedule a routine doctor's visit for an exam and discussion. Odds are that everything is OK, but if it's worrying you, talk with a medical person, OK?

Jad, Id recommend jockstraps to hold your 'equipment' better...some briefs are good...sounds like boxers arent the answer, for sure...some good online sites for under wear: ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed

you could try the athletic dept of some store..look for jockstraps, they are only $5-7 each

I have almost 7 myself, and like to keep it 'secure'

Excellent suggestion, Handytim. Should have thought of that myself.

I am unsure if damage has been done to my testicles and have a picture only to ensure a doctor reviews it
