Puberty books for teen boys 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.[1]

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.

Professor Jonathan A. Allan has studied the available books and has written a report on his findings,[2] so we shall consult his work. He has listed thirteen books in English that are aimed at young guys who are starting puberty.

Professor Allan's main point is that the authors of these works work very hard to make all boys feel good about their penis whether it is foreskinned or intact. The authors attempt to minimize the obvious very clear differences between the two. According to Professor Allan:

While these puberty manuals remain a largely unstudied aspect of growing up and maturation, they do provide important information to readers (be they preadolescent, adolescent, or adult). In these books, the debates about circumcision are present, but they each work to treat all penises as normal penises. Even though there are undoubtedly differences, which are visual, as well as cultural/national and religious, the authors work to reassure the reader that their penis will work just as well as any other penis. In a world where boys are anxious about their penis, not just its size but also its look, these books do the work of trying to reassure a reader that he, like the boys in his class, his friends, and so on, are all normal. …[2]
