The distal section of the urethra allows a human male to direct the stream of urine by holding the penis. This flexibility allows the male to choose the posture in which to urinate. In cultures where more than a minimum of clothing is worn, the penis allows the male to urinate while standing without removing much of the clothing. It is customary for some boys and men to urinate in seated or crouched positions. The preferred position may be influenced by cultural or religious beliefs. [28] Research on the medical superiority of either position exists, but the data are heterogenic. A meta-analysis [29] summarizing the evidence found no superior position for young, healthy males. For elderly males with LUTS, however, the sitting position when compared to the standing position is differentiated by the following: Sergi Bonet; Isabel Casas; William V Holt; Marc Yeste (1 February 2013).

You’d still be straight if you were a woman, but you’d definitely need to have a think about why you have trouble thinking a part of your sexual partner’s body is unattractive. Would you be okay if they thought your breasts or labia were unattractive? Marv Rubinstein, American English Compendium: A Portable Guide to the Idiosyncrasies, Subtleties, Technical Lingo, and Nooks and Crannies of American English, ISBN 1442232838, p. 147 The word "penis" is taken from the Latin word for " tail". Some derive that from Indo-European *pesnis, and the Greek word πέος = "penis" from Indo-European *pesos. Prior to the adoption of the Latin word in English, the penis was referred to as a "yard". The Oxford English Dictionary cites an example of the word yard used in this sense from 1379, [148] and notes that in his Physical Dictionary of 1684, Steven Blankaart defined the word penis as "the Yard, made up of two nervous Bodies, the Channel, Nut, Skin, and Fore-skin, etc." [149] According to Wiktionary, this term meant (among other senses) "rod" or "bar".

Interestingly, the men we asked were more likely to say they were turned on by penises, or found penises visually attractive – but not all of them, so the debate really isn’t as clear cut as men being visual while women aren’t.Priapism is a painful and potentially harmful medical condition in which the erect penis does not return to its flaccid state. Priapism lasting over four hours is a medical emergency. The causative mechanisms are poorly understood but involve complex neurological and vascular factors. Potential complications include ischaemia, thrombosis, and impotence. In serious cases the condition may result in gangrene, which may result in amputation. However, that is usually only the case if the organ is broke out and injured because of it. The condition has been associated with a variety of drugs including prostaglandin. Contrary to common knowledge, sildenafil (Viagra) will not cause it. [57] Curvature: few penises are completely straight, with curves commonly seen in all directions (up, down, left, right). Sometimes the curve is very prominent but it rarely inhibits sexual intercourse. Curvature as great as 30° is considered normal and medical treatment is rarely considered unless the angle exceeds 45°. Changes to the curvature of a penis may be caused by Peyronie's disease.

Although many erect penises point upwards (see illustration), it is common and normal for erect penis to curve in any direction. Many penises are curved in right, left, upwards or downwards direction depending upon the tension of the suspensory ligament that holds it in position.
The adult male American mink's penis is 2 + 1⁄ 4in) long, and is covered by a sheath. The baculum is well-developed, being triangular in cross section and curved at the tip. [86] Bats Some people find a penis sexy or beautiful in itself, others don’t, but none of the people we asked believe you have to be attracted to penises to be attracted to men. So you don’t need to question your sexuality just because you’re not deeply aroused by someone’s knob.In males, the expulsion of urine from the body is done through the penis. The urethra drains the bladder through the prostate gland, where it is joined by the ejaculatory duct, and then onward to the penis. Patel, Manish; Atala, Anthony (2011-12-29).

With my partner I fell for his eyes and who he is, but I know some friends of mine that goes for a man just because they think they have a great penis. Laura: I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. The penis and the man are linked – you find a man attractive before you’ve even seen his penis. Harriet, 27: Penises are not particularly visually appealing. They are veiny, knobbly and generally quite weird. Some are nicer than others, but most are fairly unpleasant to look at.
