Age considerations

[edit]
This section is an excerpt from Spermarche § Age of occurrence.[edit]
Research on the subject has varied for the reasons stated above, as well as changes in the average age of pubescence, which has been decreasing at an average rate of three months a decade.[1] Research from 2010 indicated that the average age for spermarche in the U.S. was 12–16.[2] In 2015, researchers in China determined that the average age for spermarche in China was 14.[3] Historical data from countries including Nigeria[4] and the United States also suggest 14 as an average age.[5]
