A little help please

[henners]

I'm on my big brothers account because I do not have one myself, but I have some questions I'd like to ask because I'm too nervous to ask others in public.
Why does my penis get bigger and harder every now and then?
Is it normal for a straight boy to think another boy is attractive?
And is it normal to be scared about being naked around others?
Thank you anyone for you help



Ps I'm 12

An erection (it's what we call the hardening of a penis) is very normal at your age. It means you are growing and healthy. You cannot do anything to prevent it from happening but there are ways to make it go down.
1. Masturbation
2. Concentrating on other things such as homeworks or games.


On you being attracted to other boys, I think it's pretty normal as well. Your hormones may have a part on this. Or maybe you are just plain curious.


It is also normal to feel shy or scared to be naked around ither people. But maybe in situations like in locker rooms, it wouldn't be a problem since all of your mates are growing as well and there's nothig wrong about it.

You should join VT! You could learn a lot and find people to answer your questions.

Ur starting puberty and r going to get horny so
ur going to get bigger and harder more times
than u think. Don't worry just have fun easing
ur boner. No its not wrong to think other guys
r attractive if ur straight-ur hormones r starting
to play with ur mind. Its normal to b scared to
b naked in front of others cause it is something
new to u and ur r not used to the situation. After
time if u ever have to get naked it comes a little
bit easier. Don't worry we all go thru these things.

Uh, something smells FISHY here...
If you are on your brother's account (and I looked at past posts. Your brother is Henry and he's 15), then Henry must have given you his sign-on and password. So, why don;t you just get your own sign-on?

Also, I see Henry has personal questions about HIS development, too. So I think it would be great for you and him to talk with each other about this stuff. He can really help you, cuz, you know what, He used to be 12 himself not too long ago!

Agreed. Had similar thoughts. When you have a brother why would he give you access to his online accounts and computer but not talk about those things in person?
My two sisters share those puberty related things all the time. I just don't do with my brother since he is considerably older and doesn't live with us anymore.

I'm just nervous about talking to him about it, it's a very personal thing to me. Thank you for the help, I will consider joining so I won't use my brother's account.

I suppose I should talk to him, I'm sure he'll understand...

I think you have already talked to him, once he logs on he will read this thread, and ask you about it. Talk to him about your concerns then. If you are 13 or older, dude, get your own VT account. It's a great place to make friends and ask questions important to you

Other guys already said, it's just your puberty, and there is nothing for you to worry about.
And i agree with scott2002, create your own login-pass here

Why does my penis get bigger and harder every now and then? It changes size due to your level of excitement.
Is it normal for a straight boy to think another boy is attractive? Yes, this is normal
And is it normal to be scared about being naked around others? Yes, this too is normal, we are all sefl conscious about our bodies around others

[zzzzzzzzzz]

why does it get bigger? welcome to puberty. It happens to all of us!
Thinking another boy is attractive? Again puberty. Lots of new chemicals being released in our body
Being scared naked? Yeah that's normal. Some boys are nervous, some are confident. Give it time

How long before you are 13 and you can join? any more questions, just ask

I love how this was explained, but I'd also like to add that at 12, you aren't necessarily locked into your sexuality, and you may find that, even though you believe you are straight now, puberty may bring to light that you aren't straight and your sexuality falls somewhere else of the "sexuality spectrum," which is all of the sexualities that exists (and there are many, including but not limited to: straight, bi, gay, asexual/ace/a (they are all synonyms for not having sexual attraction for anyone; being asexual has its own spectrum), pansexual/pan (attracted to people regardless of their gender, not being attracted to pans), and demisexual/demi (one of the sexualites on the ace spectrum that is defined as not being attracted to someone/not wanting to be in a romantic relationship with someone until you have a strong platonic connection with them).

I know that was probably a lot to take in; it was a lot for me to take in as well. You definitely have a lot of time to learn about yourself, but most of all: you are normal. What you are experiencing is normal, what you are feeling is normal, who you are and are not attracted to is normal. You should not feel ashamed by any change your body or mind experiences during puberty, and you should not let anyone bully, tease, or otherwise harass you for your pubescent experiences.

I understand that it is really uncomfortable talking about your personal development directly to someone for some people, myself included
