Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrenarche is the onset of adrenal gland maturation, which typically occurs around age 8-9 in girls and 9-10 in boys. This leads to an increase in androgen hormones, which can contribute to the development of sexual attraction. Menarche (the first menstrual period) and spermarche (the first ejaculation of semen) occur later in puberty and are not directly related to the onset of sexual attraction.
