cell and a sperm cell from your birth parents came together to make the
cells that developed into you

the size and shape of your penis or breasts and your overall body shape.
• Other things that affect our body are the foods we eat, how active we are
and how much sleep we get.
24. What are the sex organs?
These parts are also called the reproductive organs and genitals.
The parts are:
• Urethra
• Penis
• Testicles or Testes
• Scrotum
25. What happens on the inside?
• Hormones from the pituitary make the testicles grow and
they start making more testosterone and producing sperm
• After puberty you make 200,000 - 400,000 sperm cells a
day for the rest of your life
• Sperm build up in tubes around the testicles
– They travel along some tubes and mix with fluids from glands
• Sperm + fluids = semen
26. How does the semen come out?
• If semen is going to come out, the penis is likely
to be erect
• A penis gets erect when blood rushes into it
• Muscles push the semen into the urethra and
out the penis
• This is called an ejaculation.
27. What can cause an erection?
• Boys get erections for all kinds of reasons – they might
happen if you :
– Are thinking about something sexy
– When you wake in the morning and have to pee
– When you are relaxed
– When you are anxious or frightened
– For no reason at all

before they are born!

• If a boy wakes up and finds a wet, sticky spot on his
bedclothes semen came out when he was sleeping.
This is called a “wet dream”
• If a boy touches or rubs his penis and it gets erect
and semen comes out. This is called masturbation.
• Some boys have wet dreams, some don’t
• Some boys masturbate, some don’t
• However it happens is okay
30. Does penis size matter?
• Testicles grow first so your penis may look as if it is shrinking.
• It isn’t
• It can take a while for your penis to grow.
• Penises, like noses and ears and hands, come in all sizes and
shapes and colours. They vary how they curve and stick out
when erect.
• Penises, when erect, are more alike in size than when they are
soft.
• They all work.
31. So what are normal feelings?
• Some guys think about girls and kissing and touching
• Some guys think about other guys and kissing and
touching
• Some guys don’t think about any of this stuff
• Some have crushes and fall in love
