DICK·tion·ar·y… Penis knowledge for everyone!

Penises can come (and cum) in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They’re a source of pleasure for their owners, and their owner’s partners. So, here’s a blog post dedicated to the penis.

The Basic Facts:

• 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). Most men are growers.
• The average man has  11 erections during the day. The average man will also ejaculate 7200 times in his life.
• You need to have erections often in order to keep your penis in shape. Basically, it needs regular exercise.
• No time for “exercise”? Don’t worry. Your penis will do the work for you while you sleep. Most men have 3-9 erections a night.
• The average time it takes a man to orgasm is 3 minutes.
• The average male orgasm lasts 6 seconds. Women get 23 seconds.
• Only 6 % of the male population needs extra-large rubbers, according to condom manufacturers. In other words, 94 % of men lie.
• The average penis size, when erect, is 5 to 6.4 inches.
• The underside of the head and shaft are the most sexually sensitive areas on a penis.

I Bet You Didn’t Know…

• Human males used to actually have a bone in their penises referred to as a “baculum”. The baculum still exists in other primates where it keeps the penis rigid long enough to deliver sperm. Human males now rely only on blood pressure for their boners.
• Only 1 man in 400 is flexible enough to give himself a blow-job!
• According to studies, better-looking men may have stronger sperm.
• Your brain is not necessary for ejaculation (insert joke here). The order to ejaculate actually comes from the spinal cord.
• The most common cause of penile rupture is vigorous masturbation.
• Vibrators aren’t only for women. They work on the penis, too. Repeated vibrations against the penis can cause orgasm and ejaculation.
• Foreskins have been used  to grow artificial skin cells for burn victims.

Things You SHOULD Know…

• Smoking makes you 30% more likely to suffer from impotence. Why? It affects your cardiovascular system, which is responsible for getting blood flow going in your penis. It can also cause damage to penile tissue, making it less elastic and stretchy. Furthermore, smoking can shorten your penis by a centimeter!
• For an averaged size man, it can only take 3 alcoholic beverages to impair your penis’s ability to rise to the occasion.
• 20% of American marriages end in divorce because of sexual dysfunction. That’s why it pays to keep your penis healthy!
• Regular sex has many health benefits for men including higher levels of certain antibodies, lower blood pressure, keeping a healthy body weight, pain relief, higher self-esteem, and improved sleep!
