Puberty

Puberty

Puberty describes the period when a human becomes able to reproduce. This usually happens at about age 12 in females and age 14 in males. Puberty is characterised by the development of secondary sex characteristics like hair on the body and enlarged genitals. Puberty in males can take as long as 4 years, whereas the female only takes up to 3 years. [CG] {NR}
