What Causes The Increase In Size Of The Penis?

I am a 21 year old male at 6'0" and 175lbs (broad build). I have never had any health problems whatsoever, I eat very healthily (barely any junk, growth hormones, GMO, etc). In the past week my penis increased in length a noticeable amount (probably 0.5" to 0.75"). This did not seem normal, so I searched online. I ran across pre-ejaculatory fluid, and I had never known anything about it nor experienced it before. Should my body have released it before? I sometimes noticed a slight urinating sensation when aroused; would that be a small amount of the pre-ejaculate? I am not sexually active, but my body appears to be sexually healthy: large amounts of ejaculate periodically released during the night and erection when aroused or during hormonal spikes. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You are absolutely normal. As you are not sexually active, the semen builds up in the testes and is released in sleep as wet dreams. The tingling sensation is also normal. The increase size of penis should not be a concern if there is no abnormal swelling, pain or itching. The noticeable increase in penis by 0.5" to 0.75" is most likely a difference in observation taken at two different times. It is possible that the longer length was measured when you were totally aroused and the penis fully erect. Please do not worry for it.
