Late start of puberty

[paulhouse]

My puberty started about 14, my voice changed about 15
While I was looking like a boy, my class mates were meanwhile young men with much more sexual experiences with girls than me. Therefore I had more gay experiences at this time (I’m bi)
Do you think a late puberty is a big advantage or disadvantage for your sexual experiences?

I only recently started myself. I don't think there is any advantage to starting late.

I don't see any advantages or disadvantages in late puberty. Also I don't think that 14 is that late on starting puberty.

Started late here. I was lucky my best friend also did. But 14 is not a late start most boys start between 13-15.

Since you are at least getting on for 19 at the moment since yiou joined in 2013 what do you think?

[Birds18]

I think starting early could be scary and confuse him but if you start late I don't see anything good about that.

Whether you start early average or late, going into puberty is usually a mix of feeling scared, puzzled, elated, ecstatic, angry, hurt, embarrassed and lots of other feelings too. And one day is likely to be totally different from the next, from loving every minute to hating it.

When I said "early, average or late" those words in themselves are almost meaningless since it is NORMAL to start puberty anywhere from the age of 10 to 16. But if that's too vague, the "average" start for a boy is between 12 and 15 and a couple of years younger for girls.

I hope you've got the message that a late starter has nothing at all extra to worry about, though school life can possibly be unpleasant if you have any petty-minded or offensive people in your class.

14 is not late in starting puberty.
I agree with a lot of those above. ^
