Question:
I was wondering if you could tell me what stage of puberty I’m in. I just turned 15 by the way. My penis is 6 inches erect. I have curly hair across my groin and starting to get acne. I have a lot of hair on my legs and have a little hair in my armpits — maybe ten short hairs in each armpit. I’m short, 5´3″, and have never had a wet dream. However, friends have told me that I haven’t had a wet dream because I masturbate regularly. So, could you tell me around what stage I’m in?
Answer:
I have to go by the information that you give me, so you need to understand that I can’t be very accurate. I can’t qualify the information you give since I can’t see you. There is an estimator that I wrote which gives a long list of traits in a better attempt to narrow down which stage of development you have reached. If you would like to try it, see The Tanner Stages of Development Calculator.
Given what you have told me, I would guess that you are at the beginning of stage 4. Your friend is correct. Wet dreams come about because your seminal vesicles get full. Since you are not allowing them to get full, you won’t experience a wet dream.
