15 things you may not know about your penis

[jesper]

1. Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter. Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don't care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the li'l guy.

2. Doctors can now grow skin for burn victims using the foreskins of circumcised infants. One foreskin can produce 23,000 square meters, which would be enough to tarp every Major League infield with human flesh.

3. An enlarged prostate gland can cause both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. If you have an unexplained case of either, your doctor's looking forward to checking your prostate. Even if you're not.

4. The average male orgasm lasts 6 seconds. Women get 23 seconds. Which means if women were really interested in equality, they'd make sure we have four orgasms for every one of theirs.

5. The oldest known species with a penis is a hard-shelled sea creature called Colymbosathon ecplecticos. That's Greek for "amazing swimmer with large penis." Which officially supplants Buck Naked as the best **** name, ever.

6. Circumcised foreskin can be reconstructed. Movable skin on the shaft of the penis is pulled toward the tip and set in place with tape. Later, doctors apply plastic rings, caps, and weights. Years can pass until complete coverage is attained. . . . Okay, we'll shut up now.

7. Only one man in 400 is flexible enough to give himself oral pleasure. It's estimated, however, that all 400 have given it their best shot at some point.

8. There are two types of penises. One kind expands and lengthens when becoming erect (a grower). The other appears big most of the time, but doesn't get much bigger after achieving erection (a shower).

9. An international Men's Health survey reports that 79 percent of men have growers, 21 percent have showers.

10. German researchers say the average intercourse lasts 2 minutes, 50 seconds, yet women perceive it as lasting 5 minutes, 30 seconds. Are we that good or that bad?

11. Turns out size does matter: The longer your penis, the better "semen displacement" you'll achieve when having sex with a woman flush with competing sperm. That's according to researchers at the State University of New York, who used artificial phalluses (ahem) to test the "scooping" mechanism of the penis's coronal ridge. Next up: curing cancer.

12. The penis that's been enjoyed by the most women could be that of King Fatefehi of Tonga, who supposedly deflowered 37,800 women between the years 1770 and 1784 -- that's about seven virgins a day. Go ahead, say it: It's good to be king.

13. Better-looking men may have stronger sperm. Spanish researchers showed women photos of guys who had good, average, and lousy sperm -- and told them to pick the handsomest men. The women chose the best sperm producers most often.

14. No brain is necessary for ejaculation. That order comes from the spinal cord. Finding a living vessel for said ejaculation, however, takes hours of careful thought and, often, considerable amounts of alcohol.

15. The most common cause of penile rupture: vigorous masturbation. Some risks are just worth taking.

further concerns about penis size.

1) When a penis is soft, it usually averages about 3.5 to 4.5 inches in length and one inch in diameter, though some are smaller and some are larger.

2) The same penis can vary in size even when soft. For instance, cold air, cold water, fear, anger or anxiety causes the penis, scrotum and testicles to be pulled closer to the body, thereby shortening it.

3)A soft penis can actually lengthen in warm conditions and when a man is completely relaxed. Although the size of the non-erect penis differs widely from one male to another, this variation is less apparent in the erect state.

4) As stated by Masters, Johnson and Kolodny (1986) in their book "Sex and Human Loving" - men with a smaller non-erect penis usually have a larger percentage volume increase during erection than men who have a larger flaccid penis.

5) Penile diameter has little physiological effect for the woman because the vagina can gradually adjust to fit a penis of any circumference (remember, it is designed, under the right conditions, to allow a baby to pass through the same opening).

6) The length of the penis, which determines the depth of vaginal penetration, is relatively unimportant, because it is the first one-third of the vagina that has the most nerve endings and is most responsive to physical stimulation.

7) Penis size may, however, have a positive or negative psychological significance to a woman. Some women prefer large penis; while others are put off by what they think is "too large" or "too small". Third, men may feel that a larger penis gives them an element of status and makes them more sexually attractive.

8) A man's weight, build and height bear no relation to the size of his penis in either the soft or erect state, nor is penis size related to his foot, hand or nose size.

Now, something about the vagina...

1) In a sexually unstimulated state, the vagina is shaped like a flattened tube, the sides of which are collapsed on each other. It is not a continually open space, or "hole" as often thought by both women and men. It is a potential space.

2) Because of its muscular tissue, the vagina has the ability to expand and contract, wide enough to allow a baby to pass through during childbirth, or adjusting to fit snugly around a tampon, a finger or any size penis.

3) The internal walls of the vagina itself do not have a great supply of nerve endings, thus are not very sensitive to touch. The outer one-third of the vagina, especially near the opening, contains nearly 90 percent of the vaginal nerve endings and therefore is much more sensitive to touch than the inner two-thirds of the vaginal barrel.

4) Vaginal lubrication typically decreases as women age, but this is a natural physical change that does not normally mean there is any physical or psychological problem.

5) Some, not all, woman's vagina may lose some of its muscle tone, loosen a bit, and feel larger after giving birth. This means that they may sometimes not feel the pleasure they once had from their partner's penis making contact with the vaginal walls. The partner may also notice the losing of the tight grip by the vagina.

6) There are howver, some specific exercises that women can do after childbirth to strengthen and tighten the muscles around the vagina and improve the tone and feeling.

Sexual positions

The Missionary Position

Also called "man-on-top" position, is the most common of all intercourse positions in Western cultures. It is called the missionary position after the 19th century Christian missionaries who believed that the man on top was the only natural and proper position for intercourse. They encouraged their foreign converts to abandon their so-called "animal" positions in favor of the man-on-top position.

The missionary position somewhat limits the ways a man can use his hands to caress his partner, but woman can use her hands freely to caress the man or stimulate her clitoris. It is a very good position for seeing each other and kissing during intercourse.

Woman on top position

On top the woman can regulate the depth of penetration of the penis and the rate of thrusting. This position allows for maximal indirect stimulation of the clitoris by the penis, and some women reach orgasm more easily in this position than when they are underneath the man.

Some women may find penetration too deep in this position, but they can regulate the depth by limiting how far down they lower themselves. Also, with vigorous movements the penis may slip out of the vagina, which may be frustrating.

This is a good position for the later months of pregnancy because it allows intercourse without the woman's growing belly getting in the way. For the same reason it is a good position for men with large stomachs.

Side-by-Side

The side-by-side position is in which the man and woman have intercourse lying on their sides facing each other. Deep pelvic thrusting is difficult when a couple is side by side and some couples prefer not to use the position for that reason.

In this position, the couple hands are free to caress each other and the face to face position allows them to kiss. This is also a particularly good position for people who need to avoid strenuous activity. It is also a useful position during pregnancy.

Rear Entry

Rear entry intercourse is when the man's penis enters the woman's vagina when she has her back to him. Rear entry intercourse can be done with the woman standing but bending over and supporting herself, or with the woman on her hands and knees and the man kneeling behind her (commonly known as doggy style). Or rear entry can be done with both partners lying on their sides, her back to his front.

This position allows for deep penetration and vigorous pushing if the couple wants that. The man's hands are free to caress the woman and he can reach her clitoris easily. The drawbacks of rear entry intercourse are that the penis entering from behind gives very little stimulation to the clitoris and some couples do not like the lack of face-to-face intimacy.

Gay and lesbian

With the exception of coitus, sexual positions for gay and lesbian couples do not differ much from those of heterosexual couples. Gay men may engage in anal intercourse more often than heterosexual couples and gay women may be more likely to introduce sexual aids into their lovemaking. However, the vast array of sexual positions that same or opposite sex couples may experience remains basically the same.

The Myth

It was suggested that the more physically challenging the position, the greater the sexual satisfaction will be. Not true. No special significance is attached to any particular positions, and competence in lovemaking is measured by fulfillment, not by the extent of one's sexual repertoire.

Orgasm

The sudden discharge of accumulated sexual tension resulting in rhythmic muscular contractions in the pelvic region that produce intensely pleasurable sensations followed by rapid relaxation. It is sometimes called climaxing or coming.

In Masters and Johnson's original research, orgasm is the third of four stages, occurring after the plateau phase and before the resolution phase. Another widely accepted model of the sexual response cycle, developed by Helen Singer Kaplan, M.D., PhD., involves just three stages: desire, excitement and orgasm.

Orgasms vary from person to person and for each individual at different times. Somes experience orgasm that is an explosive, amazing rush of sensations, while others could experience something milder, subtler, and less intense. The differences in the intensity of orgasms can be attributed to several physical factors, such as fatigue and length of time since last orgasm, as well as to a wide range of psychosocial factors, including mood, relation to partner, activity, expectations, and feelings about the experience.

Orgasm is a total body response, not just a pelvic event. Some people experience involuntary contraction of the facial muscles resulting in what looks like a grimace or an expression of discomfort, but it is actually an indication of high sexual arousal.

Despite the huge differences between male and female genitals, orgasms in men and women are physiologically and psychologically very similar.

Women described the sensations of orgasm as beginning with a sense of suspension, followed quickly by an intensely pleasurable feeling that usually begins at the clitoris and spreads throughout the pelvis. The genitals are often described as becoming warm, electric or tingly, and these physical sensations usually spread to some portion of the body. Many women also feel muscle contractions in their vagina or lower pelvis, often described as "pelvic throbbing".

For men, the subjective feeling of orgasm has been described quite consistently as beginning with the sensation of deep warmth or pressure that corresponds to ejaculatory. It is then felt as sharp, intensely pleasurable contractions involving the pc muscles, anal sphincter, rectum, perineum and genitals. Some men describe this part as a sensation of pumping. Finally, a warm rush of fluid or a shooting sensation describes the actual process of semen travelling through the urethra during ejaculation.

Far more women than men have the physical capability to gain one or more additional orgasms within a short time without dropping below the plateau of sexual arousal.

Being multi-orgasmic depends on both continued stimulation and sexual interest. Because neither of these is present every time for most women, multiple orgasms do not occur with every sexual encounter.

Some men can learn to have an orgasm without ejaculating, thereby making it possible to experience multiple orgasms.
