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. 😁
