Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While external cues such as the presence of sexually mature mating partners can influence when individuals begin to engage in sexual behavior, they are not believed to directly trigger the HPG axis and the onset of puberty. Nutritional levels and overall physical health can contribute to the timing of puberty, but gender scripts do not play a direct role in the biological process of puberty initiation.
