→What the puberty manuals leave out: Add external link.
'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' are books that are written to help boys understand the changes in their body that occur when they enter [[puberty]]. They are usually purchased by parents and given to a son who is starting puberty.<ref>Puberty is the name given to the time when a boy starts to change from a boy into a man. Puberty usually starts when a boy is about 11 to 13 years old.</ref>
This website is dedicated to helping [[foreskinned]] guys to stay [[intact]], so this short article will focus on what the puberty manuals have to say about the [[foreskin]] and [[circumcision]].
The information provided is tightly edited to eliminate information critical of both the [[foreskinned]] penis and the [[circumcised]] penis. Regardless of one's circumcision status, a teen youth may need to obtain additional information from other sources later.
===Foreskinned guys===
Some [[foreskinned]] guys will need want to stretch the tip of their [[foreskin]] after puberty to get it to retract. They may also need instruction on putting on a condom when they become sexually active.
===Circumcised guys===
Most [[circumcised]] guys will need information on the use of [[Masturbation#Lubrication| lubrication]] for [[masturbation]]. Some circumcised guys will have painful [[erection]] due to [[amputation]] of excessive skin from their [[penis]]. They will need information on [[Tissue_expansion#Lengthening_one.27s_foreskin| tissue expansion]] to increase the length of their residual shaft [[skin]].
