It will become darker, thicker and curlier, and start to cover a much wider area. Some boys may only now be starting to develop pubic hair.
Erections will be a lot more common than before, often at the wrong time, or in the wrong place. Boys usually discover this during masturbation, or they might wake up in the morning with wet pants after a wet dream (nocturnal emission). Sperm production may begin for some, but not all, boys, i.e. Your son’s testicles and scrotum will continue to grow. So what can you expect with the third of the stages of puberty in boys? Your son will also gain weight as he starts to develop muscle, and as his bones grow bigger. Before he grows taller, his feet and hands will usually have a growth spurt of their own. Your son will start to grow taller and the shape of his body will begin to change. It is normal for some boys not to grow hair just yet. These first hairs are usually long, slightly pigmented (colored) and straight or slightly curly. He may start to have erections more frequently, but he still isn’t ejaculating.įine hair may begin to grow at the base of the penis and scrotum. It may grow slightly larger, but usually there is little or no change at all. His scrotum will also hang lower, becoming darker in colour, thinner and less smooth. Your son’s testicles will continue to slowly grow, with one testicle now beginning to hang lower than the other. So what can you expect with the second of the stages of puberty in boys? Some boys may have a growth spurt, and some may start to grow very fine hairs in the pubic area. No changes can yet be seen outside his body, other than some growth of the scrotum and testicles. It will begin to surge in your son’s body, causing his testicles to grow and make sperm, but no changes can yet be seen outside his body. The main hormone for boys is testosterone. The body will start to release hormones that will trigger the changes to start happening. The first changes that will happen to your son are hidden as they are happening deep inside his body. So what can you expect with the first of the stages of puberty in boys? (approximately between the ages of 9 and 12) The five stages of puberty are called the tanner scale and consist of the following. Here is the list of tanner stages during puberty and what to expect at what age range. The wetness he is waking up with is almost certainly precum what is happening with the night time erections and nothing to be concerned about, his foreskin sounds fine and he is a lucky boy if he can retract it fully already when flaccid and erect as a lot of guys still have problems in there 20s doing that, even though the penis can grow in length into the early 20 for late bloomers I would think he has probably reached his maximum length already, foreskins can come in many different lengths some being so short the automatically retract during erection to expose the complete the complete glands while others only retract enough to only see tip of the glands and the urethra while others are so long they expose nothing when erect. He sounds like a normal curious 11 year old that's just starting puberty and I would say probably in the next few months he will start to grow a few strands of pubic hair around the base of his penis and on his scrotum, as he enters more into puberty he will notice his penis will start to fill out more his festivals will swell more and his scrotum will hang lower and it's perfectly normal for one testicle to hang lower than the other, at what age did you first notice his penis was abnormally long?
