Long Description

This video explores the importance of testosterone in the sexual development of teenage boys. Both teen boys and girls report that the rush of testosterone leads boys to focus on their physical development, and sometimes to propose inappropriate sexual activity. Clips from old feature films capture teenage boysí aggressive sexual behavior. An expert in teenage development suggests that we fail to teach teen boys how to deal appropriately with their emerging sexuality. Erections, she notes, happen at inappropriate and embarrassing times, something that rarely occurs by the time males reach college age. Another expert notes that, in the teen years, males and females are very different. High levels of testosterone drive males to seek sexual activity, while females are most concerned with protecting themselves. Female teens are moving into a period of high fertility, and having children at an early age endangers their health and their future. Thus, at a time when boys are most interested in sex, girls are most interested in planning a successful life.
