Provocative Wave for Men - presents

pwfm presents Hard and Healthy a series of provocative information about the penis.The penis is made up of spongy erectile tissue, which fills with blood when a man is turned on or aroused and usually becomes erect. Penises come in all sizes, and penis size in almost all cases has nothing to do with how a penis works or how well a penis works. There are several different parts to the penis, each of which has some impact on feeling sexual arousal and pleasure.

Penis Shaft

The shaft of the penis is the part that extends out of the body to the tip of the penis. When flaccid (no erect) the skin on the shaft of the penis will be loose and stretchy. While many people think that the shaft of the penis is not as sensitive as the head, some men have areas on the shaft that are highly sensitive.

Glans Penis

The head of the penis is called the glans, and at the tip is the urethral opening (where both urine and semen come out). The glans is a highly sensitive area, with many nerve endings. The glans is often considered to be similar in function to the clitoris in the woman, and the tissue that the glans develops out of is the same tissue that the clitoris develops from.

Frenulum

The frenulum is the indentation on the underside of the penis where the glans meets the shaft. For most men the frenulum is an area of great sensitivity. In some cases the frenulum can be short on a man, a condition called frenulum breeve, which can cause sex play and intercourse to be painful.

Foreskin

Almost all men are born with a foreskin, which is the skin that covers the glans when the penis is flaccid. When the penis is erect, the foreskin retracts to just below the head. Men who are circumcised have had their foreskins removed, so the glans is exposed at all times. There is tremendous debate about the practice of circumcision for religious, cultural, and medical purposes. There is also debate about the connection between circumcision and sexuality.

Inside the Penis

Despite the countless slang terms for the penis (boner, rod, etc…) and men’s bravado about their sexual strength, the penis has no bones and no muscle in it. An erection happens as a result of stimulation and blood flow (and sometimes as a reflex). Inside the penis are three spongy tubes, two on top and one on the bottom. The bottom one also has the urethra running through it.

An erection happens when blood flows into the penis and fills the tissue making it firm. Erectile dysfunctions usually occur as a result of some problem with getting the blood to the penis, having enough of it flow in, or keeping the blood there.

Urethra

The urethra is the tube through which urine and semen pass to get out of the body. The urethra runs from the bladder to the tip of the penis. In the process of normal functioning there are certain passages that are blocked and others that open up to insure that semen flows out of the urethra and not into the bladder, however problems can happen which cause semen to not be expelled. The urethra is also a source of sexual pleasure for some men. Some men like the feeling of stimulation right at the urethral opening (which is called meatus) and others will stimulate the urethra itself. Internal urethral stimulation can cause serious harm, and it should only be engaged in with a great deal of education and care.
