Hey guys, I'm 15 and I would like to post a picture of my penis to help me prove my point but I think that is illegal..

When I have an erection.. the size of my penis can range from 5 in to 5.5 in... this is really strange. Anyone have any explanation?

    That is not so strange.   That is average size. ( 5.16 ) Being your only 15 you are still growing till the age of about 20.   You may get another inch or 2 but we never know.  It is in your genes.  So relax.  Ken

      Puberty is a sequential series of physical changes that lead to sexual maturity. These changes are described by Tanner stages, named after British pediatrician Dr. James Tanner. The stages are based on the development of secondary sex characteristics. Tanner stage 1 is the prepubescent stage with no observable sexual development; stages 2 through 5 are the four stages of puberty.

      Tanner Stage 4

      Among boys, the penis growths in length and circumference. The testicles and scrotum continue to grow, and the skin of the scrotum darkens. Sperm production is present. The male voice typically begins to deepen during this stage.

      The pubic hair appears adult-like for both boys and girls, with the exception that it does not yet extend to the inner thigh.

      Not many doctors on here - we’re mostly fellow sufferers! - but nothing illegal about showing penis pics in this medical context.

    In the Journal of Urology study, researchers found the following among the group of 80 men: An average penis size of 8.8 cm (3.5 inches) when flaccid. An average penis size of 12.9 cm (5.1 inches) when erect.  Mar 18, 2016.  I've also heard over the years the erect number is 6.5.  Some are growers, some are showers.

    Girth is another issue, but in any event you are in the ballpark.

      He's not questioning if he's average or not. He's asking how he can get a different measurement each time.

    It's perfectly normal. I can range from 7.25" on a bad day to just short of 8.5" depending on how aroused I am. You'll see a lot of guys tout even greater ranges than that, sometimes over 2" difference, but they are exaggerating. The size of your erection is determined by the amount of blood trapped in your erectile tissue, which is not guaranteed to be the exact same every time you get an erection. You'll notice sometimes it will look smaller, sometimes bigger. Nothing unusual here. It just means your erections are not precisely identical every time you get one.
