The Experience of Spermarche (the Age of Onset of Sperm Emission) among Selected Adolescent Boys in Nigeria.

Adegoke, Alfred A.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v22 n2 p201-09 Apr 1993

The psychological experience of ejaculation was examined for 188 Nigerian adolescent boys to determine emotional reactions, feelings of preparedness, sources of preexperience information, and the extent of peer discussion after the experience. The experience was not perceived negatively, and boys usually told their friends. Most suppliers of information were male. (SLD)
