The mysteries of the male member continue to confuse most people and even perplex those of us that own this obtuse organ. To help everyone to better understand why the penis does what it does, here are three hard facts about a stiff subject.

Smoky the Bandit
If cancer, the smell and the rising cost of smoking aren't enough to dissuade some men from smoking cigarettes, then how about the fact that it can shrink a man's member?

Because the male erection is all about proper blood flow, and cigarettes calcify blood vessels, smoking can diminish blood circulation to the man's penis and ultimately shrink his manhood by as much as a centimeter. I will never smoke again.

Time Share
The standard male orgasm lasts a measly six seconds, while the average woman gets a whopping 23 seconds. So if pleasure is measured in seconds, it's only fair that men get a four-to-one orgasm ratio. Now we're talking about sexual equality that men will stand up for.

Brains Not Included
The body's ejaculation command comes from the spinal cord, so no brain use is necessary for that order, which explains the silly facial expressions at climax. However, finding someone to share that special moment with can take hours of persuasion, a fancy dinner and often times a decent amount of alcohol as well.

Do you have an interesting anatomy fact? Let us know and post it below.

I have not had an erection in 2 years and have tried all the stuff on the market. I drink at least 10 beers daily. Could this be the problem?
