Hormones: As the pituitary and adrenal glands mature in the pre-teen and teen years, testosterone is produced by the testicles and many changes occur.  Facial hair grows, the voice deepens, the penis elongates, the testicles grow and muscles get bigger.  Testosterone causes the sex drive  and sexual desire and stimulation.  It is probably never higher than in the teen years.
