No. The process of puberty turns a child from a boy into an adult male. The most important of the changes that takes place is that during puberty a boy's testes will begin to produce sperm. The age that this happens at is different for each boy and the order that the other changes happen in can be different from one boy to another. One boy may have hairs in his armpits but not be able to produce sperm but another boy maybe the opposite. Generally speaking though most boys begin to produce sperm when they are around 12 to 14 years old.

What happens to boy and girl during puberty?

As this is the male puberty category I'll concentrate on the changes in boys... Puberty is very variable. Boys can start it at different ages and they don't all go through the various stages in the same order. Here at the visible signs of puberty, which might happen in any order... growth of hair on your scrotum and in the region of your penis (also around your anus), growth of hair on your ankles and in your armpits. Growth of facial hair. Your penis will get longer and thicker, your scrotum will get darker in colour and hang lower to accomodate the increasing size of your testes. You will sweat more and your sweat will begin to smell. You may get spots and blackheads. You will grow taller and your muscles will develop. You will find yourself think about sex a lot and you will get erections. You may find yourself mentally comparing the size of your own penis with the penises of other boys in the showers at school, this doesn't necessarily mean that you are gay, just that you are curious which is perfectly normal. You may also feel the urge to masturbate and when you do at some point you will eventually produce sperm. Oh and your voice will "break" and lower in pitch as your larynx (voice box or Adam's apple) enlarges and you'll also suffer from abrupt mood swings (your family will suffer because of them too). There is no definitive end point to puberty. By 21 or so years of age (if not sooner) you probably have reached your maximum height and your penis will probably have reached its maximum length but muscle mass and body hair may continue to extend after this age and may continue into the mid thirties or perhaps even later. The mind of a boy will also change and he will develop adult attitutes and ways of thinking. As part of this process teenagers often become rebellious. Initially rebellion may be limited to disagreements with their own parents but soon they begin to question other parts of society, religon, laws and virtually everything else. This is good, it is the way things are meant to be. As a young child you accept unquestioningly the decisions of your parents. As you reach puberty you begin to question everything, it is part of the process of growing independent, of become an adult yourself who is capable of making his own decisions. Moods are greatly influenced by hormone levels and at puberty the body is awash with hormones, which can lead to very intense feelings and hugely variable mood swings. One moment you're on top of the world and the next minute you hate yourself and want to die. These feelings are typical and eventually, as the process of puberty tails off, the mood swings will lessen. You'll develop your own personality and ideas, which will be different from those of your parents but not necessarily bought lock stock and barrel from your favourite band or movie.

Girls also experience many changes to their bodies and their minds. Most obviously from a boys view point girls begin to develop breast and a "figure." Their hips widen and their bodies develop a more rounded shape. Most important from a girls viewpoint is that they begin to ovulate (produce eggs) so that they can become pregant and have children if they have sexual intercourse with a boy. Unfertilized eggs are flushed out of a girls body, once a month, by a process called menstruation (also called a monthly or a period). Girls also grow hair in their pubic region and in their armpits but many girls remove underarm hair by shaving or by using a depilatory cream. Many girls also suffer with spots during puberty. For more info on girls puberty try the female puberty category.

Is there any tips on producing more semen or sperm because I think I've got a low count......about half a teaspoon I'm are 15 if this changes anything?

There aren't really any ways to increase the quantity of semen that you ejaculate. However from half a teaspoon to around a full tablespoon are probably average quantities. As a you get a little older your testes may still grow some more before puberty is over and you may produce more semen then. Also each time you ejaculate it takes a while for your testes to replace the semen which you have just lost. If you ejaculate soon after a previous ejaculation your body may not have had time to replace the lost semen so each successive ejaculate is likely to be a little less than the one before. If you leave it for a while before you next ejaculate you may find that you ejaculate more. Answer: I have heard that Mountin Dew increases your sperm count but im not sure if it works but its worth a try
