Did it affect the way you perceived yourself? If so, how?

SEXUALITY: Undecided
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Giani Jackman

I was definitely and early developer sexually. I remember pressing my penis against the ground while lying on the floor reading an early picture book and feeling just how good it felt just pressing it there. I couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old then.

SEXUALITY: Other
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Harry Rag

Was always tall, always had a deep voice (relative to age)... body hair arrived right about on time (12 and a half), along with interest in girls my age... I'd been noticing the bodies of adult women for a few years prior to that. Interestingly, my penis didn't reach it's full growth until some time in my mid 20's. I'd been sexually inactive for nearly three years, then at 25, when I finally got serious with another girl, I got out a half-used box of condoms left from the previous one and found they were uncomfortably snug... assuming they'd shrunk with age, I bought another box of the same type... lo and behold, it seems quite the opposite was true. A pleasant surprise, I suppose .

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Gandy

Early, early, early. Three or four-I remember lying on my stomach in bed and rocking side to side to produce this wonderful feeling but I don't remember cumming until I was a little older. There was no semen of course but I masturbated as often as I could. Even then, I knew it had to be kept private but don't know how I knew.

SEXUALITY: Straight
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Redneck

Early in my opinion. I started getting woodies at 11, jackin off regularly at 12, and had a sexual encounter at late 13 that made me think I was a total pervert. When the other guys caught up around 14, I felt a lot better about myself.

SEXUALITY: Virgin
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Early Bloomer

I had full pubic hair and what seemed to be a perpetual erection by the 3rd grade. My first orgasm was in the 5th grade. It would have been earlier if I had not been so ignorant about my body.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER:
TITLE: grog

I was a late developer. I was 14 or 15 before hitting puberty. I remember getting changed at school and being last to have pubic hair and my penis seemed so much smaller and my balls were tiny, I would try and hide them from the others so as not to be laughed at. Then over one summer it all happened. I first remember my balls getting much larger and then hair growing just above my penis. I was so glad as I thought it would never happen. the next year I remember walking around the changing room almost showing off. I was also pleased by the final results as my genitals grew to an above average size. It was worth the wait.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: 40+

I was an earlier developer in every way and it affected the way others perceived me, which in turn affected the way I perceived myself. I was beyond my years, but did not know near what I thought I knew.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Anonymous

I was a late developer and most boys around me were early (or probably average). Although I was exposed sexually to boys who were early developers (my cousins who were similar in age). I recall at different points, especially in my early teens, wishing I was as hairy and as built as other guys. I had experiences when I was distrought with thoughts of feeling inadequate as a guy, especially after basketball games in the showers. It made it hard for me to get along with other guys. During that time though, I did have a couple of good guy friends (younger than me) and eventually got married young. I never associated my perpetual masturbation habit and curiousity with other males with those feelings, but in looking back, I sometimes wonder if they were a factor.

SEXUALITY: Homosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Zach

Very early around 4-5 I remember gettign erections, I started maturbating when I was 9 years old and got hair around them too. Had my first sexual experince at early 14

SEXUALITY: Straight
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Ricky

I was a pretty early bloomer. I had pubes before I was 10 1/2, had my first clear cum a month after I turned 11 and was ejaculating mature white semen before I was 11 1/2. I was the first kid on my soccer team with pubes, and for a three or four years I was king of the locker room. Nobody could believe how big or hairy I was. Guys would always look in the showers, and sometimes even ask me to show them my package. I was by turns proud and somewhat exhibitionist but also embarrassed. By the time I was fifteen everybody else had caught up and I went from being special to being comfortably normal. After all, at that age you just don't want to be different.

SEXUALITY: In-Between
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Fred

I was an average bloomer (13), but I was a grade ahead... so I felt late. The other kids were developing like crazy, and I had a little package. It made me feel very self concious, especially as I wasn't very athletic. I can remember some of the boys with very developed bodies in jr high school. I was so jealous.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Barry

I was very late. No pubic hair until 17. I was very self conscious about it, trying to avoid being seen in the locker room. I was "pantsed" by my older sister's friend at 15. One of them still reminds me about it today, 20 years later.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Early bird

I think the physical signs of development were average if not a little early but the whole mental aspect of sexuality I think had been there for quite sometime. I remember being really young, five or so, and I was getting dressed. As I was taking my clean clothes out of the laundry basket for some reason my older sisters panties caught my eye. Feeling devious I locked the bedroom door and tried them on. Till this day I still don't know why but I felt almost compelled to do it especially at that age. I definitely locked the door so I knew it was wrong. Also when I got caught by my mother who had unlocked the door with a key(It was her room) she gasped and shut the door behind her so no one else would see. She sat down on the bed looking petrified and I remember saying, "Please don't tell anyone." So it definitely had some sexual meaning and at that age? Truthfully I am still tempted to wear women's things and I still don't know why. I always think something is wrong with me.

SEXUALITY: Bisexual

SEXUALITY: Straight
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Ed

I was very late: pubic hair started in 10th grade, underarm hair in 11th grade, genital development somewhere in between. It definitely had an effect on me. I was jealous of the other guys both because of the appearance of their bodies and because they were so much taller, stronger, and more athletic than me. I stuck with athletics, though, and by the time I finished high school, I was had a well-developed body, and was very athletic and confident.

SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
GENDER: Male
TITLE: Rick

I began masturbating at tem, had my first ejaculation at 12, and first intercourse at 13. I had pubic hair at 13, and began shaving at 16. I don't know how this fits in the general rule of these things. Certainly it affected my perception of my self. I think by making me very reserved andhesitant to talk about sex.
