growth limits

At what age is my penis going to stop growing? It is 5.5" right now, so is that the size it will be when I'm older?



Penis growth starts and ends with puberty. For most guys, this means that it starts sometime between the ages of 10 and 14, and usually ends around the time of one's 18th or 19th birthday. Another measuring stick (so to speak) is one's body height; within a year or two of having reached your final height, your penis will have reached its final size.

If you're currently in your late teens, there's a good chance that your penis is already as long as it ever will be, and its growth from hereon in will be restricted to its girth.

myths of the female orgasm

When my girlfriend and I are in bed, I try everything that I can to please her. And although it is apparent that she is enjoying it, she has told me that she can't have an orgasm. She said that it's her and not me, and that she has never had an orgasm. I would like to know if it is possible that she is unable to have an orgasm or if it is failure on my part.


Hi Justin,

There is the possibility that your girlfriend is physically incapable of achieving orgasm, but it is a very, very slim one. There was a time when it was popularly accepted that females could go their whole lives without experiencing sexual climax (and if they did, it was considered to be of little consequence). But the forces of science and equal rights have since converged to dispel this myth.

In fact, as recently as 2002, Italian researchers determined that high quantities of a protein called PDE5, which plays a role in sexual functioning, cluster around the G-spot area. This discovery essentially provided the G-spot with something that it had never had before: a scientific basis.

So where does this leave you? Well, it wouldn't be fair to pin the responsibility for her orgasm entirely on your shoulders — it does take two to tango, after all. Presuming that she isn't one of the rare few who is physically incapable of orgasm, however, the pressure is on a bit now, isn't it?

Fear not, Justin — you're in the right place! You'll find plenty of ways to help her reach her peak right here.

in bad taste

Whenever I suck on my girlfriend's nipples, I always get a bitter taste in my mouth. I was wondering if this is natural. If it's not, what causes this taste, and how can I change it?



An antibiotic known as Flagyl can endow the nipple with a bitter taste, as can an infectious condition called mastitis. In order for either to occur, however, the nipple in question must belong to a woman who has given birth, as the taste is transmitted by way of breast milk. Your girlfriend needn't have had a child recently in order to produce the milk and its accompanying taste; if a woman has breastfed within the last 20 years or more, it's possible as well.

If your lady has never been through a pregnancy, the conditions listed above are likely not the cause. If that's the case, you may just be dealing with a taste that is unique unto her, just as certain odors are unique to others.
