Physical Changes in the Male

__Genitalia and Pubic Hair: __ In the early stages of puberty, the scrotum grows larger and you might experience reddening of the skin and notice texture change in scrotal skin. Pubic hair might start appearing at the base of your penis. While the scrotum grows, the penis increases in length and has a smaller increase in width. About a year after your penis starts growing, most boys have their first ejaculation. This is at times scary or worrisome to boys, but it is perfectly natural and a part of the pubertal process. At the same time, you might also be noticing that more pubic hair is growing and that it is becoming darker, coarser and curlier. The penis continues to grow, and the head of the penis develops. The scrotal skin gets darker and the scrotum also continues to grow. When the penis is fully developed, pubic hair will have grown like an upside down triangle around your penis and will probably have spread to your thighs as well.

__Growth Spurt: __ Puberty can also cause you to go through a growth spurt; this is when you grow an average approximately 4.1 inches a year. Your head, hands, and feet are the first things to grow. Then you grow in your arms and legs and nearing the end finally your torso and shoulders catch up with the rest of your body.

__Voice Change: __ Your voice deepens during the process is gradual you will experience your voice breaking at times (voice going higher for short periods of time). This is normal and natural.

__Body hair (facial hair): __ Facial hair first appears at the corners of your upper lip and then spreads across the upper lip this continues to grow towards the upper parts of the cheek then below the bottom lip and finally to the sides of your face and your chin. Underarm hair is also growing at this time as well. This will cause body odor or BO.

__Acne: __ Accompanying underarm hair growth, your sweat and oil producing glands also start developing, which eventually results in acne when these glands are clogged. These are caused by not washing and other reasons that’s why you should wash your face twice daily. Do this to avoid breakouts.

__Masturbation:__ Masturbation is normal, healthy and a good way to start exploring your body.In other words touching yourself for sexual pleasure. This means rubbing the penis. Masturbation means experimenting to find out what feels good for you doing this often causes you have an orgasm. Masturbation won't affect your sex life in the future.
