As those hormones pump through your system, you may find yourself suddenly attracted to other people in a way that you never were before. Again, this is completely normal. But remember not to let your hormones rule you. If you're thinking about becoming sexually active, make absolutely sure that it is the right decision. And if you do, be certain to wear protection .
Puberty is also the period when some guys begin questioning their sexual orientation.
These feelings are also a natural result of reaching maturity, but they can add another level of stress to an already stressful time. If your doubts or feelings about your sexual identity are upsetting you, talk to someone. You may have always been an even-tempered person, but now you're constantly getting in arguments and subject to mood swings. You suddenly feel awkward and embarrassed all the time. These feelings are often a normal result of the hormones that are in your body.
