A Second Puberty?

 

Morning

"Is there such a thing as second puberty cuz I swear I'm going through it right now. I'm extremely hard in the morning and feel like I'm horny all the time plus there's new body hair."

I can safely report that it is not your imagination. While there is no medical term for it, it's quite common to experience the same physical manifestations of puberty in your 20s. Your body continues to change and mature. It's all due to hormonal shifts.

So it's not a literal second adolescence, per se, but natural hormone fluctuations.

In Healthline's article from 2020, Is Second Puberty Real?, says the body continues to change. Plus, men go through hormone peaks all the time, when Testosterone levels go through the roof. And when that happens it brings about the things you're talking about: Harder erections and a higher libido.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Relax and enjoy those extra, and extra-hard boners.

Short Of...

 

"I wrote quite a long time ago about learning to deal with a child who is mentally challenged. It hasn't gotten any easier and my wife is only adding to the problem. Our son is 15 now but his mental capacity is that of a 6 or 7 year old. Teaching him to deal with a maturing body is tough enough but having a spouse who can't or won't is taking a toll on me. We fight almost daily about things that our son has no control over. The constant spontaneous erections which she hates seeing, his general moodiness, the fact he fights against putting on underwear because they don't accommodate him. She won't take him anywhere because she can't go into a men's room with him anymore. Even I won't let him go in alone because people are just too cruel and untrustworthy. He just doesn't understand what's happening to him. I'm reaching the end of my patience with all of it. Short of packing up and leaving, taking our son with me, what can I do?"

I think I remember. You wrote in that he had an orgasm and ejaculated while you were watching television one evening; his first if I'm not mistaken. You have your hands full, and you have my complete sympathy. Your son is in the throes of puberty. His hormones are running amok.

The moodiness doesn't come from that, though. You may have heard the phrase "growing pains?" Those are real. These are the years when the skeletal frame is lengthening, and muscle tissue is attempting to keep up. Though that process happens while we sleep, there can be actual lingering pain and a general sense of achiness. Add the almost constant boners and I can imagine he's having a lot of difficulty with all of it.

Forcing your son to wear briefs only adds to his discomfort if they scrunch everything, and even worse when those hard-ons strike.

Sure, you will have to teach him how to adjust the spontaneous boner, but it's better than fighting with a cranky son.

I'm assuming your son no longer sees a Pediatrician, so his GP gets the duty. (He does have a GP, right?) It's time to make an appointment. Not for him, for your wife. Maybe he can make her understand what you can't. 

Or, at least, maybe she'll trust what a doctor says where she won't believe you.

An Early Bloomer?

 

A young man left an anonymous comment on the Exercise post. He seemed pretty rattled and left me no way to contact him. All I could do was promise to do a post for him.

"I have a problem and don't know who to go to. ... my nuts and dick are already twiceas big as the other guys in the locker room and they call me bull balls and donkey dick Even my shorts don't fit me in there Are they going to keep growing or what I can't talk to my mom it would embarras us ... Please tell me what to do"

You are obviously an early bloomer. It would make sense that your genitals are larger than the rest of the guys.

That they tease you is normal "young guy" behavior because at that age we have no knowledge and don't know how to handle a situation. Try to take their teasing as just part of locker room hi-jinx; joking around. Tease them: Wave it at them. Tell them, "You just wish yours was this big."

Hey, sometimes, even adults seem to keep joking around in the locker room.

Our cocks continue to develop and grow as we do. Typically, by the age of 18, we reach physical maturity. Chances are, the rest of the guys you deal with will catch up. If, on the other hand, you end up "well endowed," you'll have to learn to deal with it.

If you're really concerned there is something wrong, and you might need to see a doctor, do you have an adult male you can trust whom you can talk to? An uncle or grandfather?

But, she's got to know you're growing and maturing. Your voice has most certainly dropped in register, you may be getting facial hair...those are true signs. She's not going to be surprised that your balls and cock are reaching man-size proportions.

I get the feeling your mom has been buying the typical briefs that she's been getting you since you began wearing underwear. Those will no longer do. You are going to have to steel your nerves and tell your mom your underwear is too small. But you have to be the one to buy the new stuff. Because you need true "pouch" briefs...something that will accommodate you.

As you become older, I hope you will learn to be proud of your cock. As one reader commented below yours, "Consider it a badge of honor."

We've all gone through this stage.

Do you have any advice for this young man?

Excessive T

"We're a gay couple with two kids. We know mood swings are normal but it feels like our 14-year old son is over the top. We've had "the talk" with him and, after finding his crumpled briefs in the hamper that he'd obviously used to clean up from masturbating, we gave him lube and a stack of hand towels. When he gets surly we encourage him to "go take a load off." But, lately, he's been getting angry over such little things. Is this what is meant by raging hormones?"

It depends on how angry he gets. If he's damaging things, it could be more than hormones and you might want to ask him what's happening in his life that he so easily flies off the handle. Make sure he knows you are not chastising, you're asking because you love him and want to help. Make sure he's not taking drugs - or steroids to bulk up.

If nothing out of the ordinary is going on according to him, reach out to one of his teachers and ask if he or she might be aware of issues at school. Maybe he's being taunted and bullied there for some reason. If the answer is still no, then it's time to take him to a doctor for a complete physical and have his Testosterone levels checked. His T may be off the charts. 

In that case, no amount of jerking off is going to help him.

 

I can't find anything relating to excessive levels of T in men. It seems most consider it a myth; impossible. Yet, a couple of places considered high T levels to be a contributor to testicular tumors. The only thing I might be able to suggest is to see an endocrinologist.
