Is a 6-7 cm soft penis size small at the very start of puberty?
No - that is within normal range. For an adult male (someone who has finished puberty), an average flaccid size is about 8-9 cm. 6-7 cm is pretty close, considering it's at the very start of puberty, and the penis naturally lengthens during puberty. It's important to note that flaccid length does not necessarily correspond to erect length. Some penises grow considerably larger than their flaccid size during an erection; others grow relatively little during an erection. The slang terms "growers" and "showers" refer to penises that grow considerably during erection, and those that grow only a little, respectively.
