excuse me I'd like to know about the male penis [Music] please here's something that you might be interested in thank you between the ages of 11 and 15 boys go through the physical and sexual changes of puberty their voices lower hey I you and hair begins to grow on different parts of the body the penis gradually becomes larger and very sensitive to physical and emotional feelings the penis is made of spongy tissue and blood vessels certain thoughts or feelings or sexual activities can cause these vessels to fill with blood the penis becomes hard and erect this is an ere ction an erect penis is not a bone it cannot snap or break off many different kinds of feelings can cause an erection often the penis will get hard for what seems like no reason at all it can happen at any time at any place and can be very embarrassing but it is normal and happens to most boys excuse me um have you seen a boy in here about that bab he's got brown ha brown pants you went down there [Music] yeah Jimmy man you've been there an awful long time what you doing I'm reading yeah sure you're reading I know what you're doing in there feeling good huh come on now you can tell old Tony boy you better watch out if you do too much it's going to fall off they say you can grow hair on your palms you know leprosy you ever hear that it's the worst man your Skin's going to peel off just like paper oh no [Music] for the male masturbation is touching or stimulating his sexual organs causing the penis to become erect often he will do this until the penis spurts out the milky white fluid called seman This is ejaculation ejaculation is often accompanied by a special intense feeling called orgasm after which a person feels relaxed it is important to remember that just because you have an erection it is not necessary to have an ejaculation even if you don't ejaculate the erection will go away on its own you may have heard stories about how masturbation is harmful but we know today that it cannot physically hurt you no matter how often you do it many people of all ages men and women masturbate they do it because it gives them pleasure or relaxes them other people may not enjoy it or find it against their principles it is normal if you do it and also normal if you [Music] don't uh you b t that's enough now boys you can send me the next one all right now cover one eye and read these letters see what I really want to talk about is wet dreams what did you have a wet dream last night well it's perfectly normal for a boy your age let's see why it happens a wet dream is simply an ejaculation resulting from sexual feelings while you sleep when you ejaculate this is what happens sperm made in the testy joins with fluid from these glands becoming the mixture called seen the seen then travels out the penis while this happens these muscles tighten up blocking urine from coming down that's why when you have a wet dream or whenever you ejaculate no urine can come out the penis but why does it happen when I'm asleep well at your age your body's going through a lot of changes and many different things can cause a sexual response a pleasant dream or a nightmare or or anything and that's a wet dream thank you Mrs Nur [Music] look at the size of that one I never knew they could get that [Music] long could you imagine if that one was human boy that's what I call Macho take a look at the size of the thing that Lion's got our his size don't make a difference of course it does it's got to Ian it's only logical just think about it for a minute anyway we don't have to worry on the other hand little Jimmy here hey where'd he go what can I do for you there son well see I have this question it's kind of a biological kind of thing shoot well son I admire your cander you've come to the right man for the answer let's face it in this job I see a lot of penises animals penises that is I can tell you one thing about these animals that you couldn't say about humans they never worry about the size of the darn thing one's as good as another just like noses but then why do people make jokes about it well you know people are funny sometimes they try to make other folks feel small so they can feel big inside heck fact is being big or having big feet or big anything just has nothing to do with what kind of man man you are where have you been learning Le what about my body about the penis about your what can you believe this what has gotten into you you used to be one cool dude you know I mean I can dig want to know about girls and stuff it's your own body that is weird man who wants to know about that I do look guys it's like this I thought I was a pretty cool guy and all and and then well then my body started acting crazy on me and I had a hunch that had to do with sex and stuff like that but like how can I still be cool on the outside when on the inside I mean I didn't even know if I was normal or anything and I knew if I asked Tony over here if those things had ever happen to him he do just what he's doing now he'd laugh so I had to find out if these things were normal by myself well when Susie asked me out I got an erection and we hadn't even touched turns out it's normal then after you made those cracks about masturbation I looked that up and it turns out that if you do it or if you don't it's normal there's just no way it can hurt you then I had this wet dream and that was normal too and now today Tony here is Jing me about penises being bigger or small smaller and it's just not true as a matter of fact a lot of the things you hear from kids isn't true but people can tell you these things you you just got to ask that's what I did I asked and boy am I glad cuz now I feel normal again proud to know you son wish I'd asked those questions
