[s]Top 10 Facts About Penis You Didn’t Know
[/s]

Facts about penis we should know about, Although many of us men are relatively familiar with our penis and its antics, there’s more to our appendage than meets the eye. In this feature, we discuss 10 interesting things that you probably didn’t know about your genitals.

1. Your first erection


This the first Facts about penis,joysticks are born ready. It is common for babies to exit the womb with an erection. Even before the moment of birth, ultrasound scans sometimes show a fetus with a fully formed erection .
According to a study from 1991, fetal erections occur most commonly during random eye movement (REM) sleep . And, they can happen a
number of times each hour. No one is quite sure why, but it might just be our body’s way of testing things out and keeping them running correctly.

2. Your penis is twice as long as you thinkFacts about penis

This Second Facts about penis is mind blowing, Alot of men might take solace in this fact: our joysticks are longer than they look. In fact, around half of its entire length is housed inside of our bodies.

You might be thinking, “Well, it’s no good to me up there,” but it needs to remain connected to the rest of your anatomy , so it’s probably best that it stays put.
As you can see from the diagram here, the mass of pink erectile tissue — which comprises the so grandly named corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum — extends well into the pelvic region, forming a sort of boomerang shape.
I wouldn’t use any of the above as a pick-up line, though.

3. The Shoe Size Penis Myth


Let’s lay this one to rest, shall we? According to a study published in the journal BJU International , there is no correlation between shoe size and penis length.
Although an older study — which was published in 1993 — did find that penile length was related to both height and foot length, it was a weak relationship, and the authors concluded, “Height and foot size would not serve as practical estimators of penis length.”
Also, the International Journal of Impotence Research published an Iranian study looking at other correlations. They concluded that “penile dimensions are significantly correlated with age, height, and index finger length,” but not foot size.

4. ‘Morning wood’

Most men have 3–5 erections every single night — mostly during REM sleep, as with the in utero boys.



Also called nocturnal penile tumescence, it’s still not clear why it happens. However, one theory is that it might help to prevent bed-wetting; an erection inhibits urination.
A full bladder is known to stimulate nerves in a similar region to those involved in erections. But because females experience something similar — nocturnal clitoral tumescence — bed-wetting prevention is probably not the entire answer.
Another potential explanation is that REM sleep is linked with switching off cells that produce noradrenaline in the locus coeruleus, which is in the brainstem. These cells inhibit the tone of the penis. So, by reducing the inhibition , the penis becomes erect.

5. One final erection


One final erection is a facts about penis. So, we’ve established that we can get erections in the womb and during sleep, but this is perhaps even more surprising: the death erection. Also called angel lust or terminal erection, it happens in the moments after death.

Most commonly, it occurs in men who have died from hanging; scientists believe that it may be due to pressure from the noose on the cerebellum. However, it has also been reported following death by a gunshot wound to the head, damage to major blood vessels, and poisoning.

6. You can break your penis


This sixth Facts about penis is kind of wierd. I’m sure you are aware, there is no bone in your penis, which is fairly unusual for mammals. However, it is still possible to break your penis. It most commonly occurs during vigorous sex, although it has been documented to happen to men who fell out of bed with an erection.
Penile fracture , as it is known, is actually the rupture of the fibrous covering of the corpora cavernosa, which is the tissue that becomes erect when engorged with blood.

The moment of fracture is accompanied by fa popping or cracking sound, intense pain, swelling, and — unsurprisingly — flaccidity.

7. No-brainer


Most men have very little control over exactly when they ejaculate. This is partly because it does not involve the brain. The signal to ejaculate comes from the spinal ejaculation generator. This region in the spinal cord coordinates the necessary functions.
Of course, the higher brain does have some input into these matters — thinking about something else is a well-known way to delay the event , for instance — but the nuts and bolts of the whole operation are dealt with in your spine.

8. The angle of the dangleFacts about penis


A man’s erection can point in virtually any direction. Straight ahead, left or right, up or down, there’s no right or wrong.

The following data come from a study that measured the erections of 1,565 men.
In the figures below, if the penis pointed directly up, it was measured as 0 degrees, and if it was forward-pointing (horizontal), it would be 90 degrees:
0–30 degrees — 4.9 percent of men
30–60 degrees — 29.6 percent of men
60–85 degrees — 30.9 percent of men
85–95 degrees — 9.9 percent of men
95–120 degrees — 19.8 percent of men
120–180 degrees — 4.9 percent of men
So, if you’ve ever been concerned that your chap is a bit skew-whiff, don’t worry — you’re normal. While we’re on the topic of “normality,” very few joysticks are straight; they can curve in any direction. A curve of up to 30 degrees is still considered normal.

9. Grower or show-er

The 9th Facts about penis, grower/shower, study on 274 men demonstrated that there is
no correlation between the length of a flaccid penis and its erect size. Some start small and end up large (a grower), while some are large when flaccid and only grow a little when erect (a show-er).
Some are even small whatever state they are in, and some are large when flaccid and get much larger. It’s a mixed bag.
This doesn’t hold much relevance outside of the locker room, but I guess it’s good to know anyway.

10. Cornflakes prevent masturbation

The 10th Facts about penis is kind of funny though, cornflakes prevents masturbation? They don’t, really. However, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg — the breakfast cereal mastermind — hoped that they would. He invented these and other products because he thought that plain foods would lead Americans away from the “sin” of masturbation.
Thankfully, nowadays, food manufacturers spend less time trying to convince the youth to give up masturbation. And, just in case there was any doubt, it doesn’t make you go blind, either.
If this little list has tickled your fancy, your next move might be to plan a trip to Iceland and visit the Icelandic Phallological Museum . It is dedicated to all things penile; it was started up by Sigurður Hjartarson after being given a bull’s penis as a boy.
According to Hjartarson, “Collecting joysticks is like collecting anything. You can never stop, you can never catch up, you can always get a new one, a better one.”
Or, if you want to go one step further, you can visit the Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing, China, which specializes in penis and testicle dishes. It’s up to you.
