Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nocturnal emissions, often referred to as "wet dreams," are a normal part of male puberty and typically begin about a year after the penis starts to enlarge, indicating increased activity in the reproductive system. This is a natural developmental stage and does not indicate a problem with the reproductive system or sterility.
