A simple and clear explanation about ejaculation designed for 12-year-olds to help them understand this natural part of human development.
Ejaculation is a natural process that usually happens in boys and men. It is when semen, which contains sperm, is released from the penis. This often happens during puberty, which is the time when your body starts changing from a child’s body to an adult’s body.
Ejaculation usually happens during a feeling called sexual arousal, which means the body responds to feelings like attraction or excitement. Sometimes, it happens during dreams at night; these are called 'wet dreams' and are completely normal.
The main purpose of ejaculation is to release sperm, which is needed to make a baby if it meets an egg from a female. This is part of how human bodies reproduce.
Yes, ejaculation is a normal part of growing up for boys. It shows that your body is developing and becoming able to make babies one day, even if you are not ready for that now.
It’s okay to have questions or feel curious about these changes. Talking to a trusted adult, like a parent, teacher, or doctor, can help you understand more and feel comfortable.
