Boys

 

  • Boys' shoulders and chests become broader and their muscles get bigger
  • The penis and testicles will get bigger
  • They have more erections, sometimes for no reason
  • They may have a temporary swelling of the breasts as hormones sort themselves out
  • Hair starts to grow on the face and sometimes the chest
  • Their voices get deeper. Their voice may go up and down or sometimes sound quite croaky all in one sentence
  • Sperm will start to be produced in testicles at the time they start to grow pubic hair
  • Boys usually start producing sperm between 11 and 16 years
  • They can now ejaculate and/or reach orgasm when masturbating. Some boys will have wet dreams
