Wikipedia
adult male
Sexual maturity is the capability of an organism to reproduce. In humans it might be considered synonymous with adulthood, but here puberty is the name for the process of biological sexual maturation, while adulthood is based on cultural definitions.Most multicellular organisms are unable to sexually reproduce at birth (animals) or germination (e.g. plants): depending on the species, it may be days, weeks, or years until they have developed enough to be able to do so. Also, certain cues may trigger an organism to become sexually mature. They may be external, such as drought (certain plants), or internal, such as percentage of body fat (certain animals). (Such internal cues are not to be confused with hormones, which directly produce sexual maturity – the production/release of those hormones is triggered by such cues.)

adult male
An adult male is an individual of the male sex who has reached the age of maturity or adulthood as defined by the legal or cultural standards of their society. This typically includes physical maturation as well as a level of psychological, emotional, and social maturity. They are capable of reproduction and are typically characterized by features like facial hair and a deeper voice which are results of post-pubescent hormonal changes. The specific age considered to be the adulthood threshold can vary between different cultures and legal systems. However, globally it is usually considered to be 18 or 21 years old.
