Boys will start noticing changes in the body between the age of 10-14. This will take a number of year before it is complete, this is called puberty. These changes will start at different time and different rates. Some people might start a year or two before or 2-3 years after. Some might finish puberty in 2 years or some as long as four years Puberty starts when hormones start to be produced in the body. These hormones make the changes that take place in the body. As well as causing physical changes the hormones also cause emotional changes. A boy's voice deepens, his muscles grow bigger and his chest gets broader. Hair starts to grow on his face, legs, penis, chest, and under his arms. As a boy gets older, this hair will grow thicker and courser. During this time his penis and testicles will also grow bigger and longer. Sometimes one testicle grows faster than the other, and it is natural for one to hang lower than the other.

A boy voice will deepen. Sometimes it can happen very quickly. But often boys go through a time where they have trouble controlling their voice, and it goes up and down in pitch as they talk. It usually doesn't last very long and all boys' voices will eventually settle down and sound deeper.

 * How do Boys cope?**
 * Boys cope by rubbing the penis this is called ‘masturbation’. **
 * Masturbation is absolutely normal. Now, this is not something you would do in public, but it is a perfectly normal, natural sexual activity that is usually done alone in private. Many boys masturbate once or twice each day, and that’s normal as well. **
