From an early age, most boys already demonstrate a more active and outgoing personality than most girls. This gender difference is evident before the onset of adolescence and is not attributable solely to hormones. Once a child becomes sexually receptive, he also develops a degree of emotional numbness. The male ego (arrogance or assertiveness) is vital to the role of men in defense and in sex. Men are valued for their physical strength, practical skills, and personal confidence (leadership).
Children enjoy physical activities such as sports where conversation is minimal. Men focus on doing. Men compete for territory, status, and power. Men tend to focus on their own interests rather than being motivated to take care of others. This male territorial drive (establishing and defending territory or status) consumes even more of a man’s time than his sex drive.
Changes in puberty are not limited to physical changes. There are emotional and social impacts. There is likely to be competition among boys for opportunities for physical intimacy with girls, uncertainties about approaching the opposite sex, and possible concerns about homosexual feelings. Both sexes have the desire to be accepted as part of the social group.
The male sexual organ is easily identifiable because children hold it when they urinate. The proper name of a child’s will is penis. There are many slang words for penis including cock, dick, and prick. The penis and testicles increase in size in adolescence and boys become sexually active. During puberty, hormones cause boys to experience sexual arousal. They get excited when they think of someone they find sexually attractive. Men have a cycle of arousal that begins with erection and ends with ejaculation.
Boys can have erections at 8 or 9. Instead of being flaccid (or flaccid), the penis becomes very firm (stiff or hard) and protrudes from the body at an angle. Slang words for an erection include stiffness, erection, or erection. The average position for men of all ages is just above horizontal. 15-20% of men carry the penis 45 ° above horizontal, while 8-10% have an erection pressed against the body. A young boy can maintain an erection longer and at a closer angle to the body on average than an older man.
Ejaculation (of semen) and male orgasm are two separate phenomena. It is possible for a young man to have an orgasm without ejaculating. But once a boy reaches adolescence (supposed to coincide with a boy’s first ejaculation) he usually ejaculates every time he has an orgasm. Most boys (90%) ejaculate for the first time between the ages of 11 and 15. The onset of male adolescence is defined by the age at which a boy ejaculates for the first time.
Alfred Kinsey’s research indicated that half of all children had an orgasm by age 7 and two-thirds of them by age 12. Until they begin to ejaculate, these early orgasms are single or sporadic. Over time, children come to associate their arousal with psychological stimuli (erotic arousals) that are explicitly sexual. They also become increasingly dependent on specific stimulation of the penis for orgasm. The sources of the first ejaculation are masturbation (two thirds), wet dreams (in eight of the cases), vaginal intercourse (one child in eight) and homosexual contacts (one in twenty).
Fear, apprehension, shock, or surprise give rise to nervous system responses that have characteristics in common with arousal. Some children initially have an orgasm in response to such stimuli. Less than 1 percent of boys (0.81%) experience spontaneous ejaculation as unique in their preadolescence. These orgasms are not usually accompanied by ejaculation.
Some boys ejaculate when they are asleep. Wet dreams are most common (71% of men) between the ages of 21 and 25 when the highest average frequency is about once every three weeks (0.3 per week). By the age of 50, only a third of men have sexual dreams, which do not exceed four or five a year on average. Both masturbation and sex dreams are more common among the educated because they depend on a man having a creative imagination.
Orgasm is possible without ejaculation. But ejaculation is always preceded by an orgasm. Ejaculation related to the trigger. There is no other physiological event other than orgasm that can trigger ejaculation. The sensations that accompany orgasm vary depending on the physical and psychological (erotic or emotional) circumstances that give rise to orgasm.
Erection … is practically an everyday affair for all young children, from the earliest childhood … A slight physical stimulation of the genitals, general bodily tensions and generalized emotional situations bring an immediate erection, even when not it deals with a specifically sexual situation. (Alfred Kinsey 1948)
