Question
I want to know at what age is a boy physically able to get a girl pregnant?
Answer
A male can get a girl pregnant as soon as he starts to ejaculate (have a liquid that caomes out of his penis when he has an orgasm, or cums). In order to get pregnant, a girl has to be ovulating and have started having her period.
Anyone who is sexually active can use condoms to protect both partners against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
