15 Facts About Your Penis You Probably Don't Know

In history, it is a long accepted concept that in men, their penis is the basis of manhood. The length, girth, and ability of the penis have been among the favorites past-time discussion of men and women.

The same holds true today as the size of the penis continues to be a source of great concern and anxiety among men. A small penis affects their self-esteem and sociability. As such, many feel the need to enhance their penis to provide them satisfaction and prowess to impress their partners. Listed below are fifteen facts about the penis, its ability to erect, and function in sexual intercourses.

  • The average length of a penis. According to science, a normal and regular penis has an average length of 3.5 inches when it is not erect. During erection, it is stretched between 5.5 inches and 6.4 inches.

 

  • It has its own mind. There is truth in the statement that a man has lesser command of his penis than he does on his other body parts like legs and arms. This is because the penis responds only to a specific section of the nervous system. Hence, the penis is not under the conscious control. Experts call this part of the brain as automatic nervous system. It is the same system that regulates the human blood pressure and heart rate.

 

  • Erection needs time. Before a man gains erection, he needs at the very least, two minutes; and the most, two weeks.

 

  • Erection’s average frequency. On average, a man can have as many as 11 erections in a day. In the evening, the erection can be as often as 9 times.

 

  • Stress is never good for your penis. The psychological stress can be likened to a cold shower in terms of its effects. It also involves the sympathetic nervous system.

 

  • Smoking can shorten your penis. Experts have shown that smoking cigarettes and tobacco can shorten a man’s penis by one centimeter. Science explained that erection is driven by good blood circulation which is done by calcifying the blood vessels and thereafter, stifling the circulation of erection.

 

  • A few other factors affecting the penis and erection. Other factors that affect the length of the penis include the cold weather condition or going on a swimming session.

 

  • The connection between erection and length. In men’s sexual organ, there is no basis to link the size of a flaccid penis with its potential length when erect. Researchers discovered after conducting a study involving 80 men that the increase in length of a flaccid penis to the length of an erect penis varies. Sometimes it can be less than a quarter inch. There are also instances when the increase can be as long as 3.5 inches. This simply means that men cannot suppose that a huge and limp penis is capable of expanding larger and longer when erect. Similarly, a man with a seemingly tiny penis is capable of staging a surprise with an impressive erection.

 

  • It can have a boomerang shape. In an image taken from MRI, the penis appears to have a boomerang shape. This means that it is simply impossible to have a glimpse of the base of the penis plaid inside the pelvis and connected to the pubic bone.

 

  • Penis can also break. Although the penis does not have any bones in it, it can also break. Known as a penile fracture, the penis can have a serious injury that in some cases produces an audible sound during the fracture. One immediate symptom to it is the penis turning blue and black and accompanied by a terrible pain. Penile fracture is a rare condition affecting younger men due to their erections tending to be rigid.

 

  • Must you circumcise? Recently, both the World Health Organization and the UNAIDS recommended circumcision among adults for lower incidence of HIV infection. In a survey conducted separately by both organizations, it is known that around the world, there are only 30 percent of males within the age bracket of 15 and above that are circumcised.

 

  • Aging and erection. At 28 years old, 95 percent of men have difficulty achieving erection by a quarter percent of what they used to have in their 20s. At 35 years old, men’s erections are less frequent than 1/10. The erections continue to reduce as they age.

 

  • Aging and the penis disorder. Men are vulnerable to Peyronie’s syndrome as they grow older. Peyronie’s syndrome is a condition in which the penis bends in a greater angle during a sexual intercourse.

 

  • Blood circulation and erection. Studies revealed that more than three-fourths of all men have a poor blood circulation on their penis and testicles. Having a reduced blood flow means having lower count of male sex hormones, which can affect severely their sex drives and desires.

 

  • Bad penis performance and its social impact. In a survey conducted, it is estimated that one out of five break-ups in relationships is due to a sexual dysfunction. In 24 States in America, impotence is the primary ground for divorce. Recently, almost 100 percent of people confessed that a strong, healthy, and larger penis is essential to their quality of life.
