Help Brother

[Txfri1350]

So my bro is 17 I'm 16. We've recently started taking a little more and today he kept telling me how he hasn't hit puberty, it just cam out. I think he has (just a guess) but idk why he thinks he hasn't. What do I say without sounding weird or anything. Ive hit puberty and he knows it too. Also, I've noticed that he's been talking a lot more about sexual stuff which isn't normal for him. Earlier this week he mentioned that has was really horny.... What do I say/do to help or whatever?

Its very unusual for his age most males tend to hit puberty at around 13-14, he may just not notice it or genetically not have much hair, im not sure how he thinks he hasnt, but if he naturally has no pubes and his voice hasnt broken yet i would talk to a Dr.
If hes been mentioning hes been horny then thats the hormones kicking in late but still worth asing the Dr.
Im not sure how you can support him other than reasuring him and keeping positive.

Just talk honestly with him. If he's your brother, you guys should be able to open up. Hair growth, hard-ons, voice lower, j/o, looking at girls, etc. He should have seen some changes. There might be something lacking though and he might have to give it more time. You guys should have similar puberty changes if you are brothers.

We've never talked about this stuff before because he has never brought it up. He just isn't the kind of guy that expresses interest in it. I don't wanna sound weird or anything either. But yea...

If he can feel comfortable around you then it is a good thing. Do not make it weird for him. Just answer his questions, he is just a late bloomer.

My guess is that since he is horny he probably just started to get his sex drive and may have just started some aspects of puberty such as masturbating and those kinds of things. Personally, I would be totally honest with him about puberty, and I would let him guide the conversation. You can start out by letting him know that if he has any questions he can come to you, and if he does ask you a question, then take him seriously no matter how weird it is. It usually is awkward to talk sexuality with family members, especially younger siblings, but at least the kid came to you meaning that he trusts you. Just talk to him the way you would a friend about sexuality, and be honest with his questions even if he asks personal questions. It is far better he talks with you than to talk to some freak of nature out on the street.
