Male, 17 years 6 months, White - USA

What was the first sign that puberty had begun in your life?

When I was about 12 I noticed pubic hair growing, which was kind of weird. Then my penis started to grow, and it took off from there!

How old were you when you started to masturbate?

I think 14, when I was laying in bed one night

Did you have trouble coming to terms with masturbation in your life?

Absolutely, and I still do, because the bible is so unclear on this subject. I try to avoid pornography to not give me that stimulation, because I think that is just a form of lusting. But, again, I think it's so unclear, and I can't wait to get married so I've got an outlet for my sexual energy!

When did your voice break?

You know, I never really noticed my voice change. I think it just got deeper overnight!

Hey guys, just know that God created us, so we may think we look different and we want to compare ourselves, but God made us uniquely for his awesome plans for our lives.

I'm fine with it. I'd prefer not to be of course, but I know I should wait and hopefully I will and won't just do it to be "cool" or whatever. Sex is probably fun and all, but to all you anxious guys, a relationship isn't all about sex, it's better if you love the person than just having it with like a hooker or some slut. Unless you are really desperate, then go ahead, but other than that, just wait for the right girl.

Male, 17 years, White - USA

What was the first sign that puberty had begun in your life?

I started getting pubic hair and started getting erections.

Have you ever had wet dreams - if so, how often?

I turned 17 yrs. old a month ago. I just had my first wet dream last week, but I woke up before I released so it was more like masturbating 1/2 asleep. I was rather surprised to be having one so late.

Have you been embarrassed by having an erection at the wrong time?

Yes, getting an erection in class is very embarrassing. I fear someone might notice the bulge.

Did you go through a stage where you thought you might be gay?

Yeah, I would have fantasies about guys. I think I was just curious about what other guys looked like and how they developed.

Do you masturbate - if so, how often?

I usually masturbate once a day. If I'm super horny, I'll go twice a day. If I'm not horny or if I'm busy, I'll skip a day. I went on vacation with my parents once and we shared a room, so I couldn't masturbate for 4 days. By the end, I had a constant boner and my balls felt heavy and like they were going to explode.

How old were you when you started to masturbate?

I discovered it around 13 yrs old. I knew others in my class masturbated but I didn't know how. So one day, I just wrapped my bed sheet around my boner and started rubbing until I came.

Did you have trouble coming to terms with masturbation in your life?

I felt so dirty for doing it and I felt guilty from the pleasure. I thought I was a pervert. I didn't masturbate for a month after that. Now I just accept it. It's like a part of my daily routine. It's the one part of my day I look forward to.

Your biggest hassle during puberty?

I have several puberty hassles. First, I'm not a very muscular guy. Also I'm really tall and skinny. Sometimes I just feel awkward or goofy. I'd have to say that my biggest hassle is getting erections at the wrong time. I always get erections in class and I am always afraid that someone will notice the bulge in my pants.

Other comments or advice to other guys?

When I first entered puberty I had no idea what was going to happen to my body. I felt so awkward and so very alone. I was embarrassed by the changes in my body. Now I'm a bit older, a bit wiser, and more secure with my masculinity.
