[4] Spermarche is one of the first events in the life of a male leading to sexual maturity.
It occurs at the time when the secondary sex characteristics are just beginning to develop.
[5] Researchers have had difficulty determining the onset of spermarche because it is reliant on self-reporting.
[8] Historical data from countries including Nigeria[9] and the United States also suggest 14 as an average age.
[11][13] Research on the subject, though lacking has described ejaculation in males as young as six years old.
