Fun Fact

During puberty, males may develop a small amount of breast tissue. The breast tissue will not grow into full-sized breasts. Exercise and a healthy diet will help turn the tissue into muscle. Wearing tight-fitting undershirt will ease discomfort.

Erection

Increase in the number of erections:

  • Erections happen when blood rushes to the penis and becomes hard.
  • Erections happen for a lot of reasons including rubbing the genitals, pleasurable thoughts, seeing an image or person they like, or for no reason at all.
  • If someone gets an erection in public, they can still sit down or cover up until it goes away.

 

Ability to ejaculate:

  • Ejaculations start when the testicles begin to produce and release sperm.
  • Sperm leaves the testicles, mixes with fluid from the reproductive system to create semen and exit out the tip of the penis.
  • When this process happens in the middle of the night we call it a wet dream.
