So, I'm a 12 year old boy and I've been masturbating for probably half a year now and I have never ejaculated. I reach the peak and, then it just slowly fades and nothing happens. Is something up with me and/or my penis? And I know I'm going through puberty just to answer that question.

(I apologise for the short delay with this: we were checking our records for the parent/guardian permission - needed under US COPPA law in order for us to see an email address that's attached to your account here - because of your age. It's all good!)

It sounds like nothing is wrong at all with you or with your penis It's very common for people with penises to have erections for some considerable time before they start ejaculating - it can even be a few years, and some people don't start ejaculating until they're in their later teens. Development of the penis and testes continues throughout puberty, and sometimes isn't complete until around age 20.

So, what you're experiencing sounds like it's absolutely within expected and common development.

Does that answer your question? Anything else we can help you with at the moment?
