10 Things You Might Not Know About Male Sexual Organs

Saba® - Freedom to feel comfortable.

We've learned about male sexual organs in classes, but there's still much to explore.

Here are some intriguing facts:

  1. Boys have more reproductive cells than women; they produce more than 500 billion sperm cells in their lifetime! 
  2. During ejaculation, a man releases about 1.2 million sperm.
  3. Every guy's penis and testicles are different in size, color, and thickness, just like every girl's vulva!
  4. Smoking can decrease penis size by 1 to 2 cm. 
  5. Male orgasm lasts approximately 6 seconds, while female orgasm lasts around 23 seconds.
  6. During sex, the size of the testicles can grow up to 50% due to increased blood flow.
  7. The penis has a mind of its own. When men experience erections in inconvenient places, times, or during sleep, it's because the penis responds to the sympathetic nervous system, which isn't always consciously controlled.
  8. Just like our breasts, it's common for one testicle to be larger than the other!
  9. The penis can break. Penile fractures can occur because the penis lacks a bone. Trauma arises from the rupture of the tunica albuginea, a thick layer surrounding the penis's structure. Aggressive masturbation is a common cause of this injury.
  10. Regularly checking their testicles is beneficial for men to promptly detect any signs of disease, similar to how women should examine their breasts!
