Penis Size I'm 14 with 5 inches

I am currently 14 and my penis when soft is 3.5inch and when it's erected it's 5inch. Is this normal for my age? Am I under average?

You are not under average. At 14 you may expect additional growth. 6” is an average penis size for an adult person. It is normal to have about 5 inches at 14. Puberty plays a great role as well. Depending when you started your puberty you will have a different size at different point of time due to puberty progress.

Soft measurement is less important. It doesn’t make a difference in sex. However, men are often judged by soft size when e.g. showering with others. We may say it serves for a ‘show-off’ purpose.
Also, it is difficult to measure as the non-erect size changes during the day endless times.

There are many who want to know what to expect in terms of growth, how long their penis will grow, etc.
Unfortunately there is no straight answer to that question. We have all different bodies, we all look different, and there is no way of knowing unless one day we notice our penis is on a larger or smaller side.

Then we will be either happy or feeling insecure. Penis size is a great business industry. Everybody tries to sell products which won’t work (such as enlargement pills).

Then you have those who have not a slightest clue about the subject saying you can’t enlarge your penis.
Because they had never tried; and never persevered doing it. There are safe techniques to do it (without any surgical procedures).

In your case it is not needed.

The easiest way is waiting till the end of puberty. And that is about six years from the onset.

After that a person may take a decision subject to his own circumstances if he needs to pursue enlargement or not.

Again, it is different for each person. While one can be happy with 6” the other has to have 9”.
It is nothing wrong with either. Life is complicated and we often find what is great for one woman is not good for the other.

And we never know which woman we will encounter. You can’t have them all; you wouldn’t want that.
Once we find our loved one who meets our requirements, penis size can play an additional role in selection.

In case there is a ‘size problem” we have options and we can improve our odds. That’s the good side of it.
Men did not have this option a decade ago. Internet changed our lives.

I gave you a ‘run down’ explanation; in any case you are ok for the time being and sleep well.
