THINK YOU KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE LITTLE GUY DOWN THERE? THESE 8 FASCINATING PENIS FACTS JUST MIGHT SURPRISE AND AWE YOU.

No other anatomical feature of the male body “stands out” except the penis. In fact, humans are so fascinated by it, that if you visit an ancient ruin—be it in Rome, Egypt, or any other cradle of human civilization—chances are that you will be met with that familiar, elongated protrusion that could only be a penis. People have even gone into the realm of the extreme by worshiping it.

If you think that being a guy or a girl who has been with a lot of guys makes you an expert on the penis, there are still so many times that the male member might continue to surprise you. Here are several examples.

18 penis facts you probably didn’t know

#1 Humans are the only mammals who lack a penis bone. Yes, there is such a thing. For those who have just encountered this fact, get this: all other placental mammals possess a penis bone, which assists in prolonged sexual intercourse. As humans evolved, we somehow lost this skeletal feature, since our more advanced *and selective* mating behavior dictates that we won’t need one anymore. Just imagine how long you could last if we still had penis bones.
#2 Despite what they say to make you feel good about yourself, size really does matter. Especially for men themselves, who tend to be conscious about the size of their penis. The global size average falls in the 3-4 inch mark, with extremes falling to North Korea, producing the shortest average penile length measuring a mere 3.8 inches, and the African Republic of Congo, which bags the top penile length average with a whopping 7.1 inches! No surprise, there. Their condoms must be military-grade.
When it comes to size…

#3 The world record for the largest natural, unenhanced penis measured 13.5 inches! Yes, and that’s still in its flaccid state. The proud owner of this monstrosity is Jonah Falcon of New York. Apparently, a lot of porn studios offered him starring roles, all of which he declined. We assume he was concerned for his would-be co-star’s well-being.
#4 The penis tells a lot about a guy’s health. This means healthy body equals healthy penis. If you find that you’re having a hard time keeping it up lately, or discover that your stamina is falling short during sexy time, it could be your penis telling you to change your lifestyle. The most immediate cause would be stress produced by lack of sleep, overworking, an inadequate diet, or an unhealthy lifestyle of smoking and drinking.
#5 Circumcised guys have a lesser chance of getting HIV. The foreskin contains an abundant number of Langerhans cells, which are easily infected by HIV. Not a reason to be careless.

However…

#6 Circumcised and uncircumcised guys are on par during sex. This means that what you feel during intercourse doesn’t change based on whether you are cut or sheathed.
#7 Shoe size does not reveal the size of your package. Despite the popular saying “You know what they say about guys with big feet,” studies reveal that size 13 feet do not guarantee an equally proportional member.
#8 All penises started as a clitoris. Don’t give me that look. All penises started as a clitoris; while the fetus is developing inside the mother’s womb, the body develops this area as a clitoris, until your Y chromosome triggers the right sex hormones to cause it to develop into a penis.
