Each sex gland regularly gives out these fluids called hormones which enter the blood stream and so circulate all through the body. The male sex gland – the testicles – produce a substance called testosterone.
This is what gives a man his manly appearance. When you were a little boy you were not every different from the little girls you played with.
You had a high-pitched voice and a slim little body, and if your hair grew loan, people often made a mistake and thought you were a little girl. Similarly people often mistake little girls for little boys, especially as so many wear jeans nowadays.
Well now that you are growing up – becoming an adolescent – all that will change. The male sex gland begins to work and testosterone is released into your blood stream.
Your voice will break and gradually become deeper. Hair will start to grow under your arms, on your chest and around your sex organs. Your shoulders will gradually grow broader and your muscles more pronounced.
The second function of the testicles is to produce the life-cells: the proper name for these is spermatozoa, which is often shortened to sperm.

Testicles
You have two glands and they are called testicles. If you look back at the diagram you can see them marked. They are inside the skin bag called the scrotum.
They produce chemical substances called hormones which enter the blood stream and circulate all through the body.
They also produce the life-cells from which new life is created. These are two important jobs for the sex glands to carry out in everybody.
Whereas the hormones work separately for each man and woman, the life-cells only make life when they join together. This is to say, no new life can be made unless the life from a man is joined to the life-cell of a woman and so they become parents-the word means bringing to birth.
That is why we normally have a father and a mother to care for us.

Personality
All a matter of personality-bet you can’t jump down without the rope.
Some did, some didn’t.
That’s what growing up is all about? Some can, some can’t. Some are tough and big and strong-some are short and thin and wiry. In the end everyone reaches their maximum whatever that is and just as long as you accept yourself, so will everyone else accept you.
Whilst all this competition of muscle and strength is going on there are many unseen, unfeeling changes happening inside these boys. Perhaps you’re changing, too.
To understand these changes we must first know about glands and hormones. Hormones are special substances produced by special glands in the body. There are many different kinds of glands which produce special fluids to help the proper working of the body. They are very important. It is glands that make tears which can wash unwanted dust out of your eyes. Other kinds of glands keep your mouth moist and enable you to swallow.
You recall reading in the first chapter that the organs of your body are the same as those in a girl’s, except for the sex organs. So it is with the glands. All these are the same in men and women-except for the sex glands.

Look at old Jones
My Dad’s not really strong; he likes to think he is, he’s always squaring up to me for a box. Don’t fancy his chances. Mind you, he has other ways of showing whose boss-you don’t have to be all brawn.
Look at old Jones. He’s a wizard at math and no one puts a finger out of place in his class and he’s only two jam pots high.
Did you see Lambert at P.E. yesterday; he lifted Ben right over the box-one hand. He must be really fit, he always does cross-country with this classes and he comes in looking as though he’d been for a walk round the garden.
We went to a wrestling match on holiday. Some of those fellows are all muscle- bulging out on their arms and chest.
Well they train, don’t they?
I reckon people only take notice of you if you look tough like that.
Not really, it’s more a quality in you-something people respect. The fellow who runs our club, he’s quiet gentle sort of person. Yet when he says something has to be done, everyone listens and no one argues with him.

Seminal vessel
The seminal vessel and the prostate gland are small glands with a special job to do in the creating of life-which, you will recall, is what the sex organs are all about. Only the sex organs are concerned in reproducing life and they are the essential part of man. That is they give to you the special function which makes you a man, and manly, and enables you to be a father.
Nick made several attempts to pull himself up the rope onto the broad branch of the tree. The others fell about laughing at him.
You should eat up your spinach, Nick.
When are you going to start growing?
Muscles like sparrows knee-caps, my Dad says!
Nick took the banter in good humor, but wished he was as tall and strong as his friends. When they eventually got seated in the tree they talked about this.
My dads so strong he moves furniture about like match boxes. I wouldn’t like to get on the wrong end of one of his punches.
Is that how he manages to tame you?
Well, it’s a consideration: you don’t argue with a sledge hammer.

The glands
The glands are the smooth round tip of the penis. It is covered by a foreskin.
When you wash these parts of your body you should pull back the foreskin to expose the glands, which should be washed and kept clean to avoid becoming itchy and sore.
Sometimes, in a baby, the foreskin is too tightly joined over the glands and will not pull back. Mothers often discover this when they are bathing their little boys. Then the doctor must be told because he can put it right. He does a little operation which cuts away the skin round the glands-this operation is called circumcision.
Among the Jews and Arabs all boys are circumcised. It is a part of the religious custom. Some people choose to have this done because they think it more hygienic. Whether you are circumcised or not makes no difference to the way the penis works.
The scrotum is a skin bag which hangs behind the penis and is well protected by the legs. It has two sections divided by a thin membrane or tissue. In each section is a gland called a testicle?
You can feel these testicles with your hand; they are like two small marbles: boys often just call them balls but their proper name is testicles.

Waste matter from the body
The bowel deals with the solid waste matter from the body. It expels this unwanted material through the anus. That is the back passage between the buttocks. It has nothing to do with the sex organs or reproduction-it is part of the digestive system in your body.
The penis is a soft fleshy organ that usually hangs down between the legs and below the abdomen. It is used from birth for passing out the waste liquids in the body, by means of the urethra.
The penis has a second very important job, such an important one that it only becomes able to perform this work when you become a man. It is the passage by which new life cells are passed.
The soft thick fleshy part of the penis which surrounds the urethra is made up of tissue which contains thousands of tiny spaces. When blood flows through and fills these spaces, the penis becomes fuller and firmer and longer. It becomes erect. Then it no longer hangs limply between the legs, but becomes firm and upright. This only happens at certain times which are explained farther on in this book.

Read and think
That is another reason why your parents bought this book for you, and want you to read and think about these matters seriously.
You have certainly seen your father undressed and probably boys of your own age, at the swimming baths or in the showers. You may have a younger brother with whom you share a room.
They all have, clearly visible, the male sex organs. There is a long fleshy tube properly called the penis. This hangs down between the legs in front of the scrotum. Inside the scrotum are the testicles.
The picture below is a diagram of these parts, showing how these organs would look if you could see inside a man. Everything is labeled and you will notice how strange and foreign many of the words seem. Take some time to read and pronounce the words.
Now find each of these words on the following pages and read carefully what their special work in your body is.
The Bladder is like a reservoir for the waste fluid from the body. When you pass water it empties itself through the middle of the penis.
