So what this means in plain English is, YES, abuse does affect the function of the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is the master control gland in the body. It secretes, among other things, Growth Hormone. So messing with it would affect the rate of development.
Oh grand! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I was delayed till 15.5 yet I was a horny-horror from 8-on. I was having very intense wet dreams from 8-on too. Compulsive MB from 8-on. So they made into a true freakazoid.

Interesting thread. All my brothers matured at an earlier age than me (15.5, too). They all, even now, have more body and facial hair than I do. This contributed to lots more insecurity and self-doubt. This is very interesting to me.
Peace,
John

Just noticed this thread. I weighed 56 lbs when I started highschool.  68 lbs as a sophomore.  For scale, my mom is a tiny bit under five feet tall. My testicles didn't drop and I never sprouted a pubic hair until after I turned 17 (the summer after my junior year). I had assumed this was primarily because of having my testicles bitten or crushed much of the time my CSA was going on (3 months after I turned 4 to 1 month before my 11th birthday) and to the asphyxiation from the ones who were into that. ~ Ed ~

I read a manga recently that reminded me of this thread The Friendly Winter Sort of wistful yet hopeful.

Why is it that every male,I meet, I feel they expect me to blow them? This is PTSD. You can be helped a lot with this by discussing it with a good therapist. The military has made progress in learning how to help a guy who has returned from a war-zone with PTSD. His PTSD might consist of mentally re-enacting a the trauma of being in a military vehicle and driving over a mine. Maybe he sees things that register on his brain as strong trauma. He relives it over and over. The same kind of process happens to us who are victims of sexual trauma. It gets "stamped" in our brain and we relive it over and over. We "read" it into the actions of others. When we are in situations that suggest our original trauma, then it triggers the whole sequence of emotions over and over again. We want it to stop but we often need outside help. I'm waiting for the knowledge gained from the military studies to be transferred to helping those who acquired PTSD from sexual trauma. Puffer
