during puberty our body start to develop and change into a man’s body. physical strength increase. hair start to grow around our genitals and under our arms. penis and scrotum (testicles / balls) enlarge. our voices becomes deeper in pitch. we experience sexual drives end desires. emotions become more relevant and our interest in girls will start up
Sperm cells is produced in a man’s testicles. When a sperm cell combine with an egg cell (produced by woman) conception takes place and a new baby is formed in a woman’s body. A mature man can ejaculate about 80 to 300 million sperm cells in about 2 to 5 ml of semen at a time.
Semen is the liquid that contain sperm cells. Semen is the actual fluid that a man ejaculate from his penis and it is a combination of about 65-75% seminal fluid, (nutrients and proteins) 25-30% prostate fluid, (liquid excretion from the prostate) 1-5% Cowper’s Gland fluid (detergent, anti bacterial and lubricant) and only about 1-2% sperm cells.
Wet Dream
Ejaculation is when you experience sexual pleasure in and around your genitals and reach a sexual climax. Semen is then released out of your penis through multiple contractions of the prostate gland and other muscles inside the groin area. Thus (about 8 to 16 contractions) forces semen out of the penis.
Sexual drive is an intense feeling and desire to experience a sexual activity (masturbation or sexual activity) to relieve himself of this sexual urge. The average desire for sexual relieve is about every 2nd to 3rd day for men. It differ for men at different age and it is higher for younger man. When we experience this sexual drive we don’t have to engage in sexual activities. It is normal biology of being a man. When we are not married yet and abstain from masturbation or any other sexual activities, we can use this energy, focus, concentration, creativity and capacity to compete in a very positive way and that is to work out and open up our future in School, University or any other occupation we might be doing.
Conception will take place when a man and woman has sexual intercourse and a sperm cell combine with an egg cell to form a new cell that will multiply and grow to become a baby.
Sexual intercourse is when a man inserts and moves his erect penis in a woman’s vagina. When the man ejaculate his semen (with the sperm cells in the seminal fluid) into a woman’s vagina, the sperm cells swim up into the woman’s uterus and Fallopian tubes to meet up with an egg cell and conception will happen.
Vagina is the frontal opening between a woman’s legs that form part of her sexual genitalia.
The uterus is the protective and muscular enclosure where a baby will form and grow until birth. It is also the bag like space that enlarge during pregnancy. Normally it takes 9 month from conception to birth.
The Fallopian tubes is tubes that extents out of the uterus and connects to the ovaries. Usually this is where the sperm cell meets up with an egg cell that came down this tube from the ovary.
The ovaries. Every woman has two ovaries and that is the place where the average of 5000 egg cells of a woman mature and are released in a cycle of about one per month. This is also called a menstrual period of a woman.
Menstrual periods usually takes place once a month for woman when an egg cell mature and was released from the ovary into the Fallopian tube. The egg cell moves down the Fallopian tube and enters into the uterus. If conception did not take place, the egg cell and the blood lining of the uterus will start to collapse and flow out of her vagina. This outflow of blood is very normal for woman and its not like a wound or a cut. Woman does not bleed to death or need to go to a doctor if this experience happen every month. It is only a lining inside the uterus and it will grow back during the course of the following month. This menstrual cycle will start at puberty and ends at age 40 to 50 for woman.
