Should Know !

Physical Health and Penis Health Go Hand-in-Hand
If your guy has been having a hard time keeping it up lately, take a look at his lifestyle. Has his
sleep schedule been thrown off or has he put on some weight? Men who are heavier tend to have
lower testosterone levels, which can contribute to erectile dysfunction. Meanwhile, not getting
enough sleep or exercise can also screw with his erections. Check out these five factors that can
make his penis work better.

13 Crucial Facts About Your Peni$ you Should Know !

Boners Are Not Made of Bone
FYI, there is no bone surrounding his hard on. Instead, its caused byfibrous tissues that carry
blood to the area and make it erect. And those crazy stories you hear about guys breaking their
penis? Its actually caused by a fracture on the outermost penile tissue, according to urologist
Harry Fisch, M.D., author of The New Naked: the Ultimate SexEducation for Grown-Ups. In

fact, he says if it goes untreated, the guy can end up with scar tissue in the area and a condition
called Peyronies disease, which leaves the penis bent or curved when erect.
Size Does MatterTo Men
According to Fischs book, the average mans penis is 3 inches long when flaccid and anywhere
between 4.5 to 6.5 inches long when erect. Sounds about right. Yet recent research found that
many men stress out about their penis sizeregardless of how big they are.
He Might Actually Be Able to Make it Grow
A group of men in Italy dissatisfied with their manhood tried out a method called Traction,
which used a penile extender that stretched out their appendage for several hours a day for four
months (ow, right?!). The men who participated saw a growth of 0.59 inches to 0.98 inches
(about 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters). A less painful way to make him bigger? A study published in The
Journal of Sexual Medicine found that during oral sex, men reported larger penis
measurements compared to other methods of arousal.
Circumcision Doesnt Change Much for You
Sure, theres a little more there than youre used to working with, but experts say sex with an
uncircumcised guy will feel pretty much the same. As for his sensation, some reports have said
that uncut guys are even more sensitive below the belt. For more, check out four things you
should know about circumcised guys.
Semen Is Low in Calories
In fact, its actually composed of citric acid, amino acids, fructose, enzymes, and water,
according to Fisch. Plus, a teaspoonful only has 36 calories!
His Shoes Tell You Nothing About His Penis
Sorry to break it to you, but just because a guy has a size 13 shoe, that doesnt mean hes packing
down there. Foot size and penis size are totally unrelated. The fact is, studies have not found a
predictor that tells you if a man will be big or not.
Its More Flexible Than You Think
A 2002 study from the University of Stanford analyzed couples havingsex under an MRI
(seriously). They found that the penis curves into a boomerang shape when the man is inside the
woman during the missionary position. How bizarre is that?!
Cigarettes Can Stunt His Penis
Not only does research show that smoking screws with libido, but one study found that cigarettes
can even lead to weaker erections. Fisch says this is because smoking constricts the blood
vessels, making blood flow to his manhood way more challenging. The result: a less than stellar
erection.

Package Size May Vary By State

If a mans penis size matters to you, then you may want to take a trip to North Dakota. According
to data from Condomania.com, guys in North Dakota are buying the largest-sized condoms,
while men in Mississippi are buying the smallest ones.
Its Basically Like a Big Clitoris
Believe it: When boys and girls are in the womb, our genitalia arent all that different until the
male sex hormones kick in, says Fisch. Thats why the clitoris and the penis actually share very
similar nerve endings.
The Surrounding Areas Can Be Just As Sensitive
The penis may seem like the end-all-be-all of his orgasm, but there are some outlying areas that
are hidden hot spots, too. For instance, the male G-Spot is located on their prostate, while the
perineumthe skin located in between the anus and the scrotumis another major erogenous
zone.
Some of Them May Surprise You
Youve probably heard aboutor witnessedthe difference between growers and show-ers. But
interestingly, a guys size when flaccid really doesnt predict what hell look like when erect.
The flaccid penis has nothing to do with size. Its just about blood flow when it is erect,
explains Fisch. In fact, a study in the Journal of Sex Research found that smaller flaccid penises
saw much greater increases in size when erect than larger flaccid penises. So yes, growers exist,
and they just might shock you.
