Questions i dont know the answers to..
My cousin Tim, is going through puberty. Not a big deal. What is, is that his dad left when he was born, and his mom is....well, not very good with those questions. So lately, he's been coming to me for help...you know, like questions about hair, voice drops, and stuff like that. But some questions I just don't know, like "Does Semen smell?". He also wants to know if hes supposed to have "funny smelling nut sweat", this could be man odor, but what if its like an infection? Puberty wasn't that long for me, so I really did'nt have a lot of questions, and everything worked itself out eventually, so i'm rather not qualified to answer those questions! A little help from some tilted friends would help.

You know, if he just knew that these things all work themselves out given time, that alone would be a big help for him. Specific information can be found in books and stuff. Reassurance that everything will be okay really can only come from someone we love and respect. Sounds like that's what you're best positioned to provide him.

yeah, buy him a book, like "What's happening to my body" and "The joy of sex" hehe.
You probably don't want to turn him onto tfp, but this site : http://www.sex-project.com/ has a lot of good information, even the really awkward stuff that only a kid in puberty could think of. Other than that, I would just tell him that you can answer any questions he might have without running off and telling his mother on him.
