Questions about the topic of penis
The penis is a central male sexual organ that serves both reproduction and the excretion of urine. Anatomically, it is divided into the root of the penis (Radix), the shaft of the penis (Corpus), and the glans (Glans). Inside, there are two erectile tissues (Corpora cavernosa) and a urethral erectile tissue (Corpus spongiosum), which fill with blood during sexual arousal, enabling an erection. The urethra runs through the shaft of the penis and opens at the tip of the glans, allowing both urine and seminal fluid to be expelled. Common conditions affecting the penis include erectile dysfunction, where an adequate erection cannot be achieved or maintained, and phimosis, a narrowing of the foreskin that makes it difficult to retract over the glans. Regular urological examinations are important to monitor the health of the penis and to detect potential conditions early.
Many men worry about the size of their penis. The average length when erect is 12–16 cm. If the size is significantly smaller and causes discomfort or problems in sexual life, there are correction options such as surgical procedures or the use of extenders. However, it is important to discuss this with a doctor to determine the necessity of treatment.
Although the penis does not have a bone, a so-called "fracture" can occur, where the white membrane of the cavernous bodies tears during an injury while erect. This is often accompanied by a characteristic cracking sound, pain, and swelling. In this case, immediate medical assistance is required.
A curvature of the penis (Peyronie's disease) can lead to discomfort or difficulties during sexual intercourse. The treatment depends on the severity of the curvature and the accompanying symptoms. A urologist will assess the condition and present possible treatment options.
No, shoe size has no influence on the size of the penis. This is a widespread myth that is not scientifically proven. Penis size is primarily determined by genetic factors and is not related to body size, hand size, or other external features.
The effectiveness of exercises or creams for penis enlargement is not scientifically proven. Mechanical methods such as vacuum pumps or extenders can have temporary effects, while surgical procedures can cause permanent changes. However, surgeries are associated with risks and should be carefully considered.
Yes, with increasing age, the length and circumference of the penis can change slightly. This is due to natural hormonal changes, the loss of muscle mass, and the elasticity of the tissue. Blood circulation also decreases, which can affect the ability to achieve an erection. A healthy lifestyle can help slow down this process.
A piercing on the penis can affect sensitivity and sexual experience for both the wearer and the partner. Some people report increased pleasure, while others experience discomfort or pain. It is important to have the piercing done professionally to avoid infections or complications, and to adhere to the healing time before having sex again.
The length of the penis plays a lesser role in sexual pleasure than often assumed. Most of the sensitive nerve endings in the vagina are located in the front third, so the technique and empathy of the partner are more important than size. However, for some positions, length can play a role.
Uncircumcised men often have higher sensitivity because the foreskin contains many nerves. Circumcised men sometimes report less sensitivity, which does not necessarily lead to less enjoyment. For the partner, friction can vary depending on whether a foreskin is present or not. Ultimately, the sensation strongly depends on individual preferences.
Yes, excessive or aggressive stimulation can lead to loss of sensitivity, micro-injuries, or even nerve irritation. This problem is particularly common with excessive masturbation or the use of extreme pressure. If numbness or reduced sensitivity occurs after a prolonged period, a urologist should be consulted.
