Puberty is a stage of growing up when children's bodies begin to change into those of young adults. It is the period of sexual maturation where the body develops the ability to reproduce. During puberty, the body grows more quickly than it has since the first year of life. Sometimes the changes associated with puberty can be embarrassing or confusing, but it is important to realize that everyone goes through them. Puberty is a normal process! This article details the changes that males will go through during puberty. Everyone experiences puberty at different times, and eventually all young males will develop traits of young adults. While these changes are similar for most males, remember that variation is normal and no two people are exactly alike. There is no right or wrong way to look; that is the beauty of the human body!
Most males begin puberty between the ages of 9 and 14, but commonly puberty will begin around 12 years old. When the human body reaches a certain weight (which differs among individuals), the hypothalamus releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone. This hormone signals the pituitary gland to release the two hormones that begin the onset of puberty: leutinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.7 In males, these hormones stimulate activity in the testes, which start to produce the male sex hormone testosterone and begin spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production.
Physical Changes
During puberty, the body undergoes many physical changes. Because how and when these changes take place varies from person to person, there is no “normal” way of going through puberty. As long as the physical changes are not harmful to a male’s health, he should not be concerned. Some of the more common changes are listed below.
Body Growth
The body grows faster. All people grow at different rates and to different heights; this is largely due to how tall the person's family members are. Various parts of the body tend to grow more quickly than others, such as the legs and hands, which could lead to a somewhat awkward appearance. The differences eventually even out with the completion of puberty.
Penis/Testicle Growth
The testicles and scrotal sac nearly double in size during puberty. As the testicles grow, the skin of the scrotum darkens, enlarges, thins, hangs down lower from the body and becomes dotted with tiny bumps, which are hair follicles. In most males, one testicle (usually the left) hangs lower than the other.This is the initial puberty change; penis growth happens later.
Penis growth tends to be the primary concern for males during puberty. A boy may have adult-size genitals as early as age 13 or as late as 18. In some cases, the penis doesn't stop growing completely until age 21. First the penis grows in length, then in width. Teenage males seem to spend an inordinate amount of time inspecting their penis and covertly (or overtly) comparing themselves to other males. What most males don’t realize is that sexual function is not dependent on penis size and that the dimensions of the flaccid penis don't necessarily indicate how large it is whenerect.1
Spontaneous Erections
Spontaneous erections are extremely common during puberty. They can happen at unpredictable, unexpected, and inconvenient times, often with no obvious trigger. They are difficult to avoid, but will usually go away within a few minutes. They also become less frequent as males become older.1 Some males also experience nocturnal penile tumescence, also known as "morning wood." Morning wood is a spontaneous erection of the penis during sleep or when waking up and is common in men of all ages. Morning wood is a remnant of REM sleep cycles and is perfectly normal.
Nocturnal Emissions ("Wet Dreams")
A nocturnal emission is when a male ejaculates while asleep. Usually, a wet dream happens while dreaming about sex. A male does not have to masturbate to have a wet dream; ejaculation can occur without touching the penis. When the male body starts to produce more of the male hormone testosterone during puberty, spermproduction begins. Semen can build up inside the body, and one way it is released is through a wet dream. Wet dreams are a very normal and natural part of growing up. Some males may have a few per week, while others only experience them a few times in their life. Additionally, not every teenager has wet dreams. Frequency of wet dreams may decrease when semen is released in other ways, such as masturbation or sex with a partner.
