Inquiring minds want to know. Well, this mind did, anyway.
Early on in the life of this blog, I wondered: since the first period of menstruation is called menarche, was there an equivalent for a guy's first ejaculation. I didn't find anything, so I came up with ejacuarche.
Well, lo! and behold! now we have semenarche, or spermarche. Take your pick.
See the Wikipaedia entry here: Spermarche
The first occurrence I found of the term was in April 1993, by Alfred A Adegoke's report, Journal of Youth and Adolescence; long before the "everything is on the internet" era.
Whether it's via a wet dream or masturbation or a sexual encounter doesn't matter. It's not the way it happens, it's that it happens.
This has been a PSA to increase your useless male anatomy knowledge. Or for your next trivia game. 😁

Well, who knew??
And that first MAN!!! yum.
XOXO
Wonderful trivia! Whodaknew?
And the funny part is I can remember it like it was yesterday. Remember jacking and jacking on my cock, and enjoying that building up feeling, and I got so intense, and finally streams came flying out. At first I remember being terrified thinking what the hell was this? All the more reason why kids should be educated. Of course I didn't let it deter me as I felt good so I did it immediately again.
When mine happened, it was while masturbating. No one told me what to expect. I thought that I had broken something. It still didn't stop me from jacking off the next day.
I know, right??
XOXO
One of those things I just had to find out.
LOL. Yeah, I think we all remember that first one if it was due to jacking off.
Thank goodness I had an older brother so I knew what was happening.
I wonder if there is a term for the first occurrence of orgasm?
I can distinctly remember my first orgasm (at age 11), the first ejaculation I witnessed (a friend’s first ejaculation, when we both were 12), and my own first ejaculation (shortly after I had turned 14). Although my parents hadn’t really talked to me about what was going on with my body, I had figured out from books and observations of animals enough that I was not very confused. I had read about orgasms, nocturnal emissions, and ejaculations, so I recognized each milestone as I achieved it.
I don’t feel my parents were deficient in teaching me the facts of life. My mother talked to my sisters so that they weren’t traumatized by the events of menarche. My dad always answered any questions I brought him; I just didn’t have many, having figured most of it out. I think the only thing that really puzzled me was related to circumcision: I wasn’t sure whether I had been or not, but I thought I probably was, since my penis looked different from his, and from a couple of my classmates’. He confirmed that I had guessed correctly. In retrospect, I wish he had shown me, since to this day I’ve never really gotten a good look up close, in person, of an uncircumcised penis.
LOL! Thank you for this tidbit of knowledge. I still remember my first time ejaculating. If was after school and I must have been 12 or 13 years old and that day in religion class (I attended Catholic school) we discussed the sin of masturbation and how wrong it was and the teacher made a point of repeating the word ejaculation several times and bringing your self to ejaculation and pleasure. I had played with myself in the past, what boy hadn't, but never to the point of cumming, I did not even know that was a thing. So on that day, when I got home from school I was bound and determined to bring myself to ejaculation, the word the teacher kept repeating. I started to play with myself, stroking my dick faster and faster like I had never before, and to my surprise, I ejaculated, just as my teacher had mentioned in class. The feeling was out of this world and it did not take me long to start round two. After all this, it is ironic that i have my religion teacher to thank for the pleasure of ejaculation.
Yeah I remember that! I was so coy that my friend's dad taught us
So sad that there is not even recognition, let alone a label, for the first time a boy experiences an orgasm.
Note, orgasm, possibly even multiple orgasms, not ejaculation: a boy is able to experience multiple orgasms before their body is able to ejaculate and doing so increases their ability to do the same in adulthood. Unfortunately, since it is largely an accidental experience, most boys (and later as men) miss out. This is another area in which boys need to be educated before this short window closes.
There doesn't seem to be one singular, universal term for orgasm.
It's good that your father wasn't shy about answering questions that you did have.
Well, that IS a surprise! Especially from a Catholic school. I still don't know why jacking off is considered a sin when it's never once mentioned in the Bible.
The first one is always remembered. that you had a responsible adult teach you about it was even better.
Nope. But there isn't a singular, universally used word for orgasm for either gender. Except maybe cum. It's not uncommon for **some** men to ask their female partners, "Did you cum?"
My first I was 12, I saw my shorts wet, woke up and put my sheets in the washing machine. My dad followed me asked me whats going on, I told him I pee on the bed, he laughed and said it was my first cum!!! He was so proud! I even got my first cum rag.
You should be proud of your dad, too, for being open about it. I really wish more fathers would man up like yours did.
Actually, that is so sad, waiting until after the fact when a boy thinks he has wet the bed or broken somehow and been traumatised instead of explaining in advance and preventing trauma and still being proud of the milestone in his son's life. It's about win-win outcomes, not win-lose.
My Dad, who is a legend, came up to see me the following evening. Asked if everything was all right. I explained that we had covered this in the birds & bees talk at school. He laughed, told me I needed to start draining my balls twice a day for the rest of my life, and gave me a plastic bag containing some lube and a sex doll. He said " This is for you. You can start practising on that. And it's your job to keep it clean!" I reminded him of this conversation about ten years ago. He looked thoughtful and said "Oh yes. It worked, didn't it". When my time comes I'm going to do it exactly the same way.
