Some interesting facts about the penis

Myth or Reality? There are many rumors about the penis, but often, neither men nor women are encouraged to ask because they are embarrassed. However, some experts have talked about these issues openly to dispel doubts, and we'll do the same. Here are three fun facts you might not know about the penis.

The penis "thinks" for itself

If you are a woman, you've probably heard men that the penis takes an "independent" life and sometimes excited without their owner wants. It may be that you have not taken seriously and that you think that is an excuse. But if you are a man, you have probably noticed that it is so the penis does what he wants, although women do not believe it . You may recall situations where I was completely out of place to have an erection , such as during a class at school, a business meeting or a dinner with friends and yet you could not control the "emotions" of your penis.

Why? It is true you can not control the penis in the same way you control the movement of your arms, for example. This is because the penis responds to autonomic or sympathetic nervous system , which is not always under conscious control. So, usually, sexual arousal , but with the help of the conscious mind does not happen voluntarily.

The penis can also be excited by the impulses that the brain sends during the phase of sleep known as "Rapid Eye Movement" (REM by its initials in English) and no matter if you are having an erotic dream or dream about a car race. In addition, other factors such as weight lifting can help to have erections.

However, the penis is not always excited you can not control it. It also happens that shrinks. If you're stressed, it is very likely that the penis becomes smaller, almost like when you give yourself a cold shower. The next time you get a chance, look: when you're relaxed, your flaccid penis looks bigger than when you are very stressed or worried.

Urologists say that the penis acts as a barometer to identify what happens with the sympathetic nervous system.

So that the penis has its own life or thinks for itself, it is truer than you thought.

The penis can fracture or break

Talking of a "penile fracture" you may find it strange, especially because the penis is not a bone. We might describe as a body composed of smooth muscle and blood vessels. However, the term itself is used to describe the breakdown of the penis, when it happens, it can cause a sound or thunder. If your penis is broken black or blue it gets and can be very painful.

The penis fracture is not common but can especially happen to the young man since erections during adolescence are very rigid. Also, if during sex you penetrate your partner too quickly and harshly, you can fracture the penis. Also when the woman becomes very violent movements when it is above man during sex.

So when you talk about the penile fracture, create it, because it exists.

Most penises in the world are not circumcised

The penis naturally has a skin covering his head called the foreskin. Most Jews at birth men are circumcised for religious reasons. Muslim men have also had a circumcision with Jews constitute 70% of circumcised men in the world.

However, men are also for reasons that are not religious. The United States has the highest rate of men circumcised for non-religious reasons: 75%. In contrast, in Canada only 30% of men have been circumcised, in Britain 20% and in Australia only 6%.

The practice of circumcision in the United States for cosmetic or medical reasons has become a controversial issue . (According to the CDC nearly 65% of newborn children are subjected to circumcision). However, recently the World Health Organization said there was evidence that men without a foreskin are less likely to get HIV and circumcision is indicated in certain cases of phimosis and balanitis .

Anyway, it is a personal decision and uncircumcised men remain the majority world.
