QC FYI: Interesting Facts About Your Penis
Even if you have a very-close, some might even say “unhealthy and obsessive”, relationship with your penis, there’s still some unknowns about your bone. Luckily, the health editors at CBS news have recently released an article about penis fun facts. Except that they’re not all fun… especially when it comes to penile fractures and your cock’s boomerang shape. Here’s highlights quoted directly from the full article:
No. 1: Your Penis Does Have a Mind of Its Own: Sexual arousal usually isn’t voluntary. The conscious mind is complicit in it, but a lot of sexual arousal goes on in the sympathetic nervous system. In addition, impulses from the brain during the REM phase of sleep cause erections, whether you’re dreaming about sex or about a test you forgot to study for. Heavy lifting or straining to have a bowel movement can also produce an erection.
No. 2: Your Penis May Be a ‘Grower’ or a ‘Show-er’: Among men, there is no consistent relationship between the size of the flaccid penis and its full erect length. In one study of 80 men, researchers found that increases from flaccid to erect lengths ranged widely, from less than a quarter inch to 3.5 inches longer.
No. 3: Your Penis Is Shaped Like a Boomerang: Just like you don’t see all of a big oak tree above ground, you don’t see the root of your penis tucked up inside your pelvis and attached to your pubic bone. In an MRI picture, the penis looks distinctly boomerang-like, as noted by a French researcher who studied men and women having sex inside an MRI scanner.
No. 4: You Can Break Your Penis: There is no “penis bone,” but you can break your penis all the same. It’s called penile fracture, and it’s not a subtle injury. When it happens, there’s “an audible pop or snap,” Montague says. Then the penis turns black and blue. And there’s terrible pain.
No. 5: Most Penises in the World Are Uncut: A report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV /AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that worldwide only 30 percent of males aged 15 and up are circumcised.
We have to say that we’re personally excited about the high number of uncut men in the world. Finding an uncut cock in the United States is like finding a unicorn. But we’re not so crazy about the idea of breaking our boners; could be worse though. Bumblebees actually break off their cocks inside the queen so other rival bees can’t fuck her. Then they crawl off into the corner to bleed to death—talk about awkward.
Do you know any other interesting fun facts about your (our) cock?
