Considering how much attention a man tends
to focus on his manhood, it's surprising that some men aren't aware that some
so-called penis facts would be better labeled as penis myths. Some of the myths
are relatively harmless, of course, and don't negatively impact penis health or
other important areas of a man's life. But others do need to be dispelled.
Below are several statements which could be
penis facts or penis myths. Try to determine which is which.
The bigger, the better.
A myth? Oh, sure, a large penis can have
its advantages. It can be visually impressive, which in some instances may
spark excitement in a partner. But it can also have the opposite effect, if a
woman worries about fitting a large penis inside her vagina. But regardless, it
is well documented that what is of greater value than size is the skill with
which a man operates the equipment. A big penis conveys bragging rights on a
guy, but once in the sack, he has to prove that he can live up to them - and
that's where skill trumps size.
Shoe size indicates penis size.
Once again, this is a myth - but it's easy
to see why this has received so much play over the years. The supposition that
big feet would mean a big penis comes from the idea that big feet are more
often associated with a taller man, and if he needs big feet to balance his
tall frame, surely his penis must grow a commensurate length. But numerous
studies have shown that this isn't so, and that a man with a size 6 shoe may
easily have a bigger member than a guy with a size 13.
The average erect penis is between five and
six inches long.
A penis fact. Although for years men loudly
proclaimed that the average penis was a minimum of six inches, more recent
studies place it at a little over five inches. So lots of men who worried that
they were below average are actually right in line with what is typical.
A guy can break his penis.
Another fact. Although there isn't a bone
in the penis, it can still be fractured - although this is thankfully a very
rare occurrence. Almost as rare as it is painful. So if there isn't a bone,
what gets broken? It's the tissue known as the tunica albuginea, which cover
the corpora cavernosa. Fracturing it requires that it be hit with great force
or thrust against a hard object at great force. And it can only occur when the
penis is erect; when flaccid, it is not rigid enough to break.
Semen is a nutritious drink.
Essentially a myth. Sure, semen does have
some nutrients, as does practically every food or drink. But its nutritional
benefits are really minor. Trying to convince a partner to swallow on the basis
of its nutritional assets is a losing argument.
Most penises have slept with dozens of sex
partners.
Myth. While men like to brag about all the
women they have had sex with, surveys indicate that the average man only sleeps
with about 6-8 women in his lifetime. And about 20% of men have only one sex partner their entire lives.
One of the most important penis facts to
remember is the importance of penis health. And it's not on the myths list that
a first class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil,
which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can provide many vitamins
and nutrients that are valuable in keeping the penis healthy. When selecting a
crème, take time to inspect the ingredients. Does it have a wide range of
vitamins, such as A, B5, C, D and E? It's important to get a good "bang
for the buck" in terms of the vitamins available to the penis. It's also
helpful if the crème contains alpha lipoic acid, a potent antioxidant that
keeps free radicals at bay and thereby helps ensure healthier penis skin
