Erect Penis Myths and Facts - Weird Truths about
the Male Organ
Title
Most
men know a thing or two about their own male organ. After all, it is the part
of their body with which they undoubtedly have the most familiarity, based on
long and intimate acquaintance. But even the most well-informed of men may have
missed out on these myths and facts about the erect penis – some of which might
even affect his choices about penis care.
- The world’s largest erect
penis – belonging to a human, at any rate – is 13.5 inches long; and the
proud owner of this magnificent tool measures up at 9 inches when it is
completely flaccid.

2.The world’s largest penis of
any animal is that of the blue whale, ranging from 8 to 10 feet in length.
With this impressive organ, the blue whale can ejaculate over 35 pints of
semen at a go.
3.Napoleon’s (amputated…
post-mortem, that is) penis once sold for over $2,900. Purchased in 1997
by a New Jersey neurologist, the diminutive tool has since disappeared
from the radar. Best not to give that much more thought.
4.The erect penis can break.
Well, not break like a bone, exactly, but the connective tissue that
surrounds the erectile chambers can rupture if subjected to extreme or
sudden force. For this reason, extreme caution is advised when trying out
unusual or especially acrobatic positions.

5.The foreskin contains a
large number of Langerhans cells. This tissue, which is more familiarly
associated with the pancreas and insulin production, is highly susceptible
to the HIV virus. This may explain the results of recent research that
seems to suggest men who are circumcised are less vulnerable to AIDS.
6.Male fetuses often have
erections in utero. Don’t worry,
moms; this is a completely unconscious process and is perfectly natural. But
isn’t it nice to know?
7.Speaking of babies, doctors
can – and do – use the foreskin from circumcised infants to create new
skin for burn victims. In fact, the foreskin from one male baby can make
up to 23,000 square meters of skin.

8.Male marsupials have a
bifurcated (or two-pronged) penis. This is a convenient adaptation, given
that their female counterparts have two vaginas.
9. Although the double penis is
normal in marsupials, human males are occasionally born with 2 penises, as
well, in a condition known as diphallus. Unfortunately, unlike a kangaroo,
the double-pronger in male humans is rarely fully functional. Otherwise,
imagine the possibilities…
10.Smoking can reduce the size
of the erect penis by up to one inch, and it can also impair erectile
function. If a guy can’t think of a better reason to ditch the butts, this
one should provide some extra motivation.

11. According to a North Korean
compilation of world records, the departed Dear Leader Kim Jong Il had a 3
foot long boner.
12. In the Middle Ages, European
men often wore a codpiece, an object that resembled a large erect penis,
underneath their clothing. Presumably, the higher the status of the
wearer, the larger the ersatz erection – King Henry VIII reportedly had
the largest codpiece of his time.

13. In ancient Roman cities such
as Pompeii, brothels announced their presence to an illiterate populace by
fixing a replica of a massive erect penis over their doors.
14. Even the healthiest penis
can benefit from a penis health crème
(health professionals recommend
Man1 Man Oil). Much more than a simple moisturizer, a top-notch
product contains ingredients like L-arginine, which allows for healthy
oxygenation of the penile cells, and acetyl-L-carnitine, which helps to
prevent peripheral nerve damage related to aggressive masturbation or sex.
Men who apply a penile cream on a regular basis may experience better
sensitivity, as well as a healthier-looking, more youthful manhood.
