mans best friend is not a dog
“The average human penis, when fully erect, has a length of 6 inches (15.2 cm) and a circumference of 5 inches (12.7 cm). These figures are based on the famous Kinsey study of 3,500 American males. Later investigations produced much the same result.”
I’m sure mine isn’t that big in circumference, but maybe it is, I’ve had other things on my mind when in the forty-five degree position, and not thought about getting a tape measure. I fear I don’t measure up, I feel quite despondent. (makes mental note to buy tape measure... only joking)
other bits from the book.... “When inserted into the vagina in a typical sexual encounter, the penis will make between 100 and 500 thrusts before ejaculation is reached. This is so much more than other primates. A typical monkey ejaculates and dismounts after only a few thrusts; for example: 2-8 thrusts in the macaque monkey; 3-4 thrusts in the owl monkey; 5-20 in the howler monkey.”
Pleased with myself, I am definitely better than a monkey :)
“In some African tribes, before the existence of modern condoms, a minor modification was sometimes made that enabled the men to enjoy copulation without the risk of procreation. This consisted simply of boring a small hole in the urethral tube, on the underside of the penis near the scrotum. This enabled them to ejaculate from the base of the penis instead of from the tip, so that their sperm never entered the vagina. If they wished to procreate they could place a finger over the whole at the moment of ejaculation. And they could control urination in the same way.” < painful >
from the book The Naked Man by Desmond Morris, it's a good read.
