What is masturbation?
Masturbation can be defined as
self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations.
The use of the word masturbation usually

enter in to a series of highly-pleasurable
contractions or movements).

to function better sexually when with a
partner since they know their own body and

What is an erection?

and elevation of the penis.

throughout their lives. During puberty boys
tend to get erections more frequently.
Erections can occur with or without any
physical or sexual stimulation. Often these
erections are associated with dreams and ;
teens may have as little as two erections or
up to six erections each night
Is It normal to get erections during the day?

of the male body, especially in boys who are
going through puberty. Many erections are
caused by sexual arousal, such as watching a
movie or from sexual fantasizing. Many seem to
happen for no reason at all.

semen from the penis during sleep. The fluid
is creamy to clear in color.

from dreams, and or by physical stimulation
like rubbing against blankets, the bed, or a
full bladder.
Is getting wet dreams a normal phenomenon?
Wet dreams are a normal part of the many
things that are changing in the body during
puberty. Not all boys have wet dreams and
that's okay too, it doesn't mean anything is
wrong if one does not get a wet dream.
Does the size of the penis matter?
Many boys question the adequacy of the size of
their penis. This is a normal and common
feeling especially if one is not sexually
active or is considering becoming sexually
active. The size of the penis is simply
determined by factors, called genetic traits,
which are inherited from one’s parents.
Is there anything that one that can do about
the size of one’s penis?
There is nothing one can do to increase or
decrease the size of your penis -- it will
develop into its adult size as you change from
a boy to a man through the process of puberty.
Is it normal for the penis to be curved?
It is quite normal for a man's penis to curve
or lean slightly to the right or the left when
erect. Many men's penises will curve upwards
too. If the penis suddenly develops a lump
which causes it to bend abnormally however,
this should probably be checked by a doctor.
Does the size of the penis have any impact on
the performance?
The size of a man's penis is more than
adequate for its functions which are for
sexual pleasure, and maybe reproduction One
thing that men can be assured of is that the
size of the penis has no relation to sexual
pleasure or performance. Performance is about
the ability to get and maintain an erection or
to provide sexual pleasure to one’s partner
and oneself with or without an erection.
Performance, then, is not really related to
size -- but dependent on muscles, blood and
nerve supply to the reproductive organs. In
reality sexual pleasure is related to: a
person's state of mind; to respecting their
partner's needs; and their own needs. During
intercourse, the opening of the vagina is
normally not too small or too large for any
penis because it is really a "space" that is
surrounded by muscular tissue and will adapt
to most size penises.
