24 fascinating facts about the penis. Part 2

Did you know that in the early stages of development in the mother's womb, we all start as girls? And only at a certain moment, being influenced by male hormones, the clitoris turns into a penis. Evidence for this transmission is the trace that is located on the back of the male sexual organ from the foreskin to the perineum. Got you interested? And here are some more unusual and little known facts about the penis:

1. Smoking can cause the penis to shrink in size. Boston scientists have proved that for 15 years of smoking, the penis can lose a whole centimeter in length. That happens because of the fact that nicotine causes your blood vessels to narrow, which limits the amount of blood that flows to your penis. As a result, the potency reduces and the penis decreases in size.

2. The more attractive a man is, the" stronger" his seminal fluid is. This relationship between male appearance and sperm in the course of an interesting experiment was established by scientists from Spain. They chose men with decent, medium and weak sperm. The researchers photographed the subjects and showed these images to the women. They had to choose the men whose looks were the most attractive to them. As the result, the women intuitively chose the men with the strongest sperm.

3. After circumcision, 23 thousand square meters of skin can be made from the foreskin.

4. Circumcision does not affect the size of the penis. In America, more than half of newborn boys are circumcised.

5. Circumcision reduces the sensitivity of the penis head. This means that circumcised men can have sex for much longer.

6. Usually penis enlargement surgery is done at the expense of existing fat reserves in the body. In this way you can lengthen the penis by 3-5 centimeters.

7. According to the world health organization, 1 ml of normal sperm should contain more than 15 million spermatozoa. During a single ejaculation, up to 5 ml of ejaculate can be released. Most of the sperm die in the vagina due to the high acidity of the environment there. Another part of the male germ cells dies in the cervix, and only a few will be able to reach the fallopian tubes, where the egg is usually fertilized.

8. The composition of sperm contains many substances. These include DNA, ascorbic acid, protein, vitamin B12, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, calcium, citric acid, cholesterol, lactic and uric acids, lipids and fructose.

9. There is a congenital malformation in which the penis is completely absent. Medical term for it is Aphallia. In 2005, there happened to be only 75 cases of this disease worldwide.

10. Penis begins to grow in adolescence, until the age of 19. If men stop actively using the penis, its tissues begin to shrink. But regular sex and masturbation, on the contrary, help maintain the normal size of the main male organ.

11. The penis discharges seminal fluid at a speed of 17 km/h. This can be compared to rather slow cycling or the running pace over long distances. But in some cases, this number can reach 50 km/h. Fertilization depends on the speed of sperm release: it helps sperm get into the vagina.

12. A very strong erection is when the penis is in tension for more than 2 hours. There is a chance that this erection is accompanied by pain. There are 2 possible reasons for that. First, amount of blood that is too large flowing to your penis. Second, the process of blood outflow from the penis is going wrong. Such a strong reaction can be triggered by drugs or medications. If this kind of problem occurs, then treatment should begin no later than 6 hours after an erection began. Otherwise, the tissue will die.

Here is a real life example: a 65-year-old resident of Colombia took a lot of viagra pills to prolong an erection. At first, the man and his wife were happy with such a relentless erection. However, after a few hours, the tension and painful feeling did not release and bruises appeared. A day later the man went to the hospital, where his penis was amputated, since it was impossible to save the organ.

Now you know exactly why you can not abuse viagra, what substances are contained in semen, what penis size women prefer and how smoking affects the size of the main male organ. We hope this information will be helpful and useful to you in the future.
