Question
I started masturbating at 10 and a half, and by 11 and a half, I had pubic hair and whiskers. Now, at 12 years old, less than a month ago, my whiskers have turned into stubble, and my testicles are quite large, and my genitals are dark. When I go to the bathroom, my classmates say I have big testicles and dark genitals, and quite a lot of pubic hair. Am I going through early puberty? I’m scared.
Answer
In your case, I recommend that you go to the hospital for a face-to-face endocrine hormone check-up. If there’s no issue, I suggest you don’t worry too much. Everyone develops differently at different times. This is happening when you reach puberty. I recommend you not to masturbate as it may affect your growth and development, alter your focus. In your free time, watch fewer stimulating movies and TV shows and participate more in outdoor activities.
