Top 6 Interesting Facts About the Penis
Do you pay enough attention to your penis? This organ can work on its own, sometimes to your pleasure and sometimes to your embarrassment. But it would never be boring to know certain facts about the ‘little guy’ that governs your sex life. Should you ever experience any ejaculatory or erection problems, the following facts may be of help for you. Take a HARD look.
Fact # 1
Your penis can become shorter if you smoke heavily. The average length of penis is 3.5 inches when flaccid and 5.8 inches when erect. But smoking can take a good 0.4 inches away from the penile length besides, of course, narrowing the arteries in your body to disrupt smooth blood flow to the penis.
Fact # 2
The average number of times a man ejaculates in his life is 7,200.
Fact # 3
Most men have erections during their sleep. Known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), these erections are indicators that your penis is functioning healthily.
Fact # 4
You are endowed with either a ‘grower’ or a ’shower’. Huh? A ‘grower’ gets bigger when erect while a ’shower’ remains big all the time and does not expand much once erect. Penis growth is natural and you should not worry unless it’s the hardness of your erection that goes missing during sexual intercourse. In that case, talk to an urologist to find out whether or not you are suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Fact # 5
Just had sex? You’ll have to wait for at least 2 minutes before you can get your next erection!
Fact # 6
Vigorous masturbation can cause penile rupture. So beware! Hand yourself to climax in a loving manner!
