so i was on the website puberty101 and i saw the stages and some of it didnt make sence to me.it says that during stage 4 you experience penis growth ,more pubic hair,and the first orgasm..now i seem to match stage 2 where you have little pubic hair and the testes grow and the penis doesnt grow much..1 thing that confused me was that i already experienced my first ejaculation/orgasm months ago..i am 15 ..am i just "small" or is it just genetics or somethin....thx for the help

I can't find where it says that but those things are not always accurate. They are just averages taken by some scientists years ago. I would say that you are average because I think by stage 2 or 3 most guys can orgasm with cum. So don't trust it. It is supposed to be for a rough reference.

yep, these stages are to be only used as a guide only. in reality everyone develops at different rates and different orders. nobody would strictly follow that order in those stages.

That thing isnt accurate in todays economy...
I experienced my first orgasm when I was in stage 1 or 2...

First I will assume you meant something else, because I'm pretty sure the economy has nothing to do with puberty. Lol....

Also [assuming you meant that you think this scale is old, and now a days its different], I don't think that stages change; people may start masturbating sooner, or looking at porn sooner, but that doesn't mean they will develop physically sooner.
Finally just because you had an orgasm in stage 1 or 2 doesn't make the stages wrong, you are one person, and the scale is a guide not fact.

I haven't looked at the source you described, but I am unaware of a correlation b'twn Stage and orgasm. The person primarily responsible for the Stage system of puberty for both boys and girls was a researcher named Tanner, and he never spoke of orgasm, just size and hair as a function of development.

Orgasm is a biological reflex people are born with, so it is possible to have an orgasm at any age (and obviously regardless of stage). Ejaculation occurs during orgasm at puberty, but it is possible to have an orgasm without ejaculating before puberty.
