The period of sexual development in which the body becomes able to reproduce is called puberty. This stage is characterized by physical changes such as the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the ability to reproduce.
In psychology, the latency period refers to a stage in Freudian psychosexual development during early childhood where sexual impulses are dormant.
No. There is a period of time before menstruation begins when sexual activity can stimulate the release of an egg (in effect, starting the menstrual cycle). If you are having sex, you should always use a condom, regardless of your age or stage of sexual development.
Retardation of sexual development relative to somatic development refers to a condition where an individual's sexual maturation is delayed compared to their overall physical growth and development. This can occur in various medical or genetic conditions, leading to a disparity where somatic traits, such as height and body composition, progress normally while sexual characteristics, including the development of reproductive organs and secondary sexual features, lag behind. This phenomenon can impact reproductive health and psychosocial development, necessitating medical evaluation and intervention.

Sex does not make you start your period; it happens due to the hormones in your body during development- these hormones are highly active during your sexual development, which begins around the age of nine and ends somewhere between the ages of 15 and 18, and therefore trigger your menstrual cycle (your period). Keep in mind that even if you have not had your very first period, you can still get pregnant if you have (unprotected) sex before it.

Alfred Kinsey's research on human sexuality challenged traditional beliefs about children's sexual development by showing that sexual behavior in children was more common and natural than previously thought. This led to a shift in how professionals approached and treated issues related to children's sexual development, emphasizing the importance of understanding and supporting healthy sexual development in children.
Freud's latent period, also known as the latency stage, is the fourth stage of psychosexual development in Freudian theory. It occurs between the ages of around 6 to puberty, characterized by a suppression of sexual desires and a focus on social and intellectual activities. During this stage, children focus on developing social skills, learning, and forming friendships rather than on sexual impulses.
Sexual hormones, such as testosterone, play a crucial role in male reproductive health and development. These hormones are responsible for the production of sperm, the development of male reproductive organs, and the regulation of secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair and muscle mass. Additionally, sexual hormones are involved in maintaining libido and overall sexual function in males.
