Five Interesting Facts About the Penis

The penis is one of those parts of the body that is completely overlooked. While there are numerous blogs and articles exploring the wonders of the vagina or the breasts, the penis is seen in many circles, as a mere add on.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that men usually orgasm every time they have sex. Women seem a bit more mysterious as the guy usually has to ‘do it right’ for her to reach climax.

Still, there is so much more to the penis that you would think. So here is a five part guide to our neglected little friend.

1) The Penis can Break

OK, the penis may not be a bone, but it can still ‘break’. This happens when, during rough sex, the tissue around the willy experiences sudden trauma. A crack is often heard, and the man loses his erection very quickly. The penis will experience severe bruising, and medical attention should be sought right away.

2) The Average Penis Size isn’t that Big

Porn has given a slanted view of how big a penis should actually be. Every actor has got at least an 8 inch dong, whilst in reality, the average size is between five and six inches.

Men with large willies are actually very rare, and if the guy is too big, then it can actually cause discomfort for the woman.

3) Brewers Droop does Exist

Yep, it isn’t just an excuse. The more drunk the man gets, the harder it will be for him to get or maintain an erection. If you are looking to have a night of hot sexy action, make sure that you lay off the ale.

And for those wondering, the same goes for drug use too!

4) Most Men have their Foreskin

Another myth perpetuated by porn is the idea that most men have no foreskin. This is a complete fallacy. In fact, about 15% of guys have had the chop, though this will vary depending on location.

5) Most Men do not need Extra Large Condoms

A guy goes to buy condoms, and mark my words, he will usually go for the biggest ones he can find. This is usually because they THINK they are bigger than they are or WISH they were. Remember point two, guys are not that big in reality!

Though this actually sounds quite funny, if a guy wears a condom that is too big for him, he risks it slipping off during intercourse. This can increase the risk of pregnancy or transmitting an STD.

So there we go. Five things you may or may not have known about the penis. Remember, it may not look as beautiful as the womans special areas, but it deserves just as much attention!
