Question
I'm an identical twin...so far. My brother is much more hairy. He has chest and stomach hair; I have none. His ball sack is much, much larger, probably 6", mine is about 2"; our penis' are about same size when erect but his is larger when not. Is this normal?
Answer
It sounds like you and your brother are not going through puberty at the same speed. Even though you are identical twins, it doesn't mean this has to happen for you at the exact same time. You still have plenty of time!
