Darling you are a-ok!!! Everything you have described to me completely falls within the range of normal genital form! Most guys, when soft (flaccid) are between 2.5-7.5 cm and when hard (erect) are between 10-15 cm. See, you fall in the normal range!
You are experiencing erections throughout the day, even when you aren't thinking about sex or masturbating because you are getting HUGE surges of testostorne ( a sex hormone). Your body is responding to these surges of hormones and think of it as it's taking your penis out for a test drive-wanting to make sure everything is working the way it should be. All guys, of all ages experience this at random moments however it usually occurs the most during your teen years. Wear loose shirts, carrying books in front of you or a bookbag to disguise the erection if it pops up at an inconvienant time. You also have erections throughout the night-about every 1.5 hours. Not because you are dreaming of sexual things (although you may be) but just because it can and wants to. So all is normal there too!
As for your pubes, again it sounds as though they are shaped normally. Not all people have big bushy pubic hair. Men have a triangular shape-around their genitals and usually spreads out to their upper thighs.
Now, for the masturbating issue. The national average for men to cum once they have started masturbating (each session) is 2 minutes-so you are right, again, on average. Now, that doesn't mean you can't train yourself to last longer. First, buy yourself some lube, like astroglide or ky liquid (at the drugstore).They are safe to use on genitals and condoms if you ever need that. Plus, they make sex with yourself SOOOO much better! Now, certainly you want to have some private space and time to play with your penis and listen to your body. When you get the sensation that you are going to cum, stop, breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, stop touching your penis and wait one minute. Then start to slowly start to stroke yourself again. Do this repeatedly. Once you eventually do come, I promise your orgasms will rock your world because they will be so built up. You can do this trick for a while, just make sure you give yourself a break of not touching your penis, breathing and relaxing. You can, through this, train yourself to last quite a long time.
Hope this was helpful and continue to ask questions about your body! You are doing a great job getting to know yourself!
Thanks for contacting me!
