Five Stages of Puberty for Boys

1. Normal Age Range: 9-12, Average: about 10

Male hormones are becoming active, but there are very little, if any, outside signs of development. The testicles are maturing, and some boys start a period of rapid growth late in this stage.

2. Normal Age Range: 9-15, Average: 12-13

The testicles and scrotum begin to enlarge, but the penis size doesn't increase much. Very little, if any, pubic hair is evident at the base of the penis. There is an increase in height and a change in body shape.

3. Normal Age Range: 11-16, Average: 13-14

The penis starts to grow in length, but not much in width. The testicles and scrotum are still growing. Pubic hair begins to get darker and coarser and is spreading towards the legs. Height growth continues and body/face shape look more adult. The voice begins to deepen and often cracks. Some hair grows around the anus.

4. Normal Age Range: 11-17, Average: 14-15

The penis width increases, as well as the length. The testicles and scrotum continue growing. The pubic hair begins to take adult texture, although it covers a smaller area. Most boys have their first ejaculations. Underarm hair begins to develop. Facial hair increases on the chin and upper lip. The voice gets deeper and the skin gets more oily.

5. Normal Age Range: 14-18, Average: around 16

The body is approaching full adult height and physique. The pubic hair and genitals have an adult appearance. Facial hair grows more completely and shaving may begin now or soon. During the late teens and early twenties, some men grow a bit more and develop more body hair, especially chest hair.
