I'm 16, turning 17 next month and I believe I have hit puberty. However, my adam's apple is nonexistant, whereas most guys have a pyramid that pokes out, mine is as flat as a woman's. It makes me feel bad about myself because I haven't seen any other guys without it. As stated I believe I did hit puberty because, for example, my voice got deeper. My friends say I sound like Xerxes in the movie 300 but I heard a recording and I disagree. It's like a five yr old trying to be 20. I have a low tone, but it sounds stressed as if I'm purposely doing it, and I don't have a "gravel" effect. I'm wondering if my voice is strange because of my flat adam's apple.

I feel bad for you because you're at a very self-conscious age and you're picking yourself apart! I don't think that your voice could possibly sound as bad as you think it is. Did you know many men do not have Adam's apples? I actually don't really have one. I have a pretty deep voice too, so who cares if you have one or not? What do you think?

That did help me feel a little better :)

It just seems as if I'm put in an awkward scenario because whenever I look at other guy's throats they all have adam's apples. Seriously every one I've seen, even hollywood actors. Not to mention it feels awkward to be investigating like that too. The reason I have a problem with not having one is that it's just gender division, and as ridiculous as it sounds, I feel less like a "man" for not having one. I care because my features are typically effiminate, such as my face and body structure. And when I tried to research, I couldn't find ANYTHING, so it made me feel worse.

Hey, I think it's quite late to post any response to your topic but I felt like answering anyway. Don't get bothered by not having a big Adam's apple, I don't have a protruding one either and I'm 24 (and neither do some of my friends). I also have a deep voice so I don't think it depends on whether you have a big one or nonexistent. But it's true I'd like to have one, it just looks better but I haven't met anyone who would care.
Cheers Joey

I guess a little flag went up when I read your original post. You should have no doubt that you've reached puberty. If you haven't ejaculated yet either because you haven't had a wet dream or haven't masturbated, it's no big deal.



However, the advice about about how important it is to have an adam's apple is sound. It's not important. Next you'll be worrying about how long your penis is, which is also irrelevant.

I m 31 and my neck is as flat as you can get. But all this year my no one ever knowtice about it, even my parents. When i told them and some of my friends they don't really bother. So who care, there are other things to worry about and go have fun coz life is beautiful when you look around and see what you have, and enjoy what you have..
Takecare young man..

Dude, i used not to notice mine when i were like 17 or 18 but i believed i already gone through puberty on that age. It was when i entered college i lost weight and started to notice mine protrude. And it's really noticeable now. I think it has something to do with the mass on your neck.

Man be glad your voice is deep. Not only is my Adams Apple not noticeable/non-existent but my voice isn't deep at all and no offense to anyone, it sounds very gay. I hate it. Does anyone know any tips on making your voice deep?

I'm an 18 year old girl and I can promise you it's wayyyyyy better to NOT have an Adam's apple. Quite frankly, I think I can speak on the behalf of the majority of the female population when I say that a large Adam's apple is rather UNattractive. So, you should be happy that you don't have one.

i think adams apples are given to us by cops and adams apples sounds to much like what christian say got us kicked out of eden... elv's like a high and deep voice, a range...

i'd rather stay in eden if that was true...

It's actually more common than you think, you're at a time in your life when it's very easy to be hard on yourself. I have no adam's apple but have a deep voice. I'm watching the new Hawaii 5-0 and some of the men have flat throats. Yup, it's pretty common.

I was 13 when my voice changed. I was only one of three other boys in my seventh grade class with a deep voice. I was tall and skinny then and a had a prominent adam's apple. I guess it's genetic because my dad has a huge adam's apple and so do my brothers. By the time I was in college I began to put on some weight. By my mid 20's I gained around 30 pounds and a lot in my neck. So my once protruding adam's apple was hardly noticeable anymore unless I tilted my head way back. I don't remember anybody ever saying anything about my adam's apple when I was younger. I don't think it's something a lot of people notice. And when you get older appearance isn't a big deal anymore.
