    Question

    I am 18 in two months and have never consciously ejaculated. I'm unsure of whether i've had wet dreams too, and if I have.. only once or twice i've woken up with smallish amounts of white stuff on underwear. I'm starting to get worried I may not EVER ejaculate, I have lots of facial hair, pubic hair etc. for the record. Is it possible i'm just really late?

    Answer

    There is a great deal of information that is needed to really reply to your question. Masturbation is considered normal for the majority of teenaged men, but there are some individuals who do not masturbate or ejaculate. The "white stuff" is most likely from a nocturnal emission or night time ejaculation. If you continue to be concerned I would suggest you discuss the issue in detail with your physician, who can assess whether there may be a problem.
