Penis is an interesting bodily organ of the male body that can attract females and some males. However, there are many things that women don’t know about the penis. Here is the list of 5 things you probably did not know about the penis.

The ‘morning wood’ is a sign that he is healthy
A lot of women probably are not aware of this, but a man’s morning wood is a sign that he is healthy and that his penis is fully functioning.
Some women may think that when a man has a morning wood it means he has just been having dreams about having sex with someone.
Funny enough, this may even be a trigger for a fight if such a woman who sees that happens to be a bit of a high drama person (pfft).
Still, now you need to know that the male erection can and does happen during sleep.
This is of course triggered by a rush of blood flow to the penis that normally happens even when a man is asleep.
In fact, this erection that happens during sleep typically occurs several times throughout the night. Some 3 to 4 times, even.
So, morning erection signifies that your nervous and cellular system are working just fine. At night your bladder may fill with urine, causing the swelling to press on your sacral vein.
This vein, according to an article on the WebMD publication, can trigger the relaxation of the epithelial muscle, increasing blood flow to the small capillaries of the fingers, eyes and penis.

The average male erection is around five inches
Have you ever heard men boast about having a 6 inches long penis?
Or maybe you have heard all the fuss about how 6 inches is considered the ideal or desired male penis size by most men. Well, talk about unrealistic standards; men have those, too.
Time after time, studies all around the world have surmised that the average guy, across all nations, races, and ethnicities, measure up to around 5 inches.
That is the average, really. Of course, there are plenty of guys who measure up to 6 inches when their penis is erect, but they are more on the special side of the world's population.
Most men, when their penis is flaccid (not erect) measure up to around 3 inches, then 5 to 5.5 inches when erect.
So, this is what is considered normal for most people. A guy is within this range is not 'small.'

Male orgasms, on average, only last for 5 seconds
Yes, we have all heard about men having an orgasm every single time they shoot an ejaculate. Sounds like something you should be envious of?
Not so fast. For most men, their orgasms are indeed intense but last for roughly only 3 seconds.
Some people who can do better will last 5 seconds, while the really good ones can enjoy orgasm for up to 8 seconds. 11 seconds would be considered supernatural.
Many processes occur during this phase. They are coordinated by penile muscles, pituitary glands, the prostate, and the spinal cord.
Per an article on the Everyday Health website, orgasm occurs in two phases – emission and ejaculation. Emission of the point-of-no-return, and the spinal cord involuntary releases a sphincter that trigger spasms, followed by semen ejaculation.
In contrast to this, the average female orgasm can last up to minutes. Some 3 to 6 minutes are within the range of 'common.'
That does sound a lot better and more envy-inducing, but the problem is, penetrative sex hardly makes a woman reach orgasm.
However, if you focus on clitoral stimulation, the female orgasm is almost always a given (explains why female solo play is often more satisfying!)

Like male balding, penis shrinkage is real as heck
The male balding pattern seems to happen mostly to Caucasian males, but if there is one thing that all races of males share in common, it is penis shrinkage.
A man can really see a shrinkage in the size of their penis as they get older and older.
The rate at which this occurs differs from man to man, but generally speaking, the more unhealthy lifestyle and habits a man subscribes to the faster his penis shrinkage happens.
Penis shrinkage typically happens because the cells that make up the shape of the phallus are decreasing at a rapid rate without being able to renew themselves fast enough.
This is literally the same basic principle with wrinkles on a person's face, just slightly different in terms of what it deals with.
Not all men will experience super significant penis shrinkage, but excess alcohol usually worsens it.

The majority of the world’s male population are not circumcised
In some countries, male circumcision is the norm. This is mostly the case with countries that have a majority of Muslim citizens.
The exception to this is the United States of America where babies are commonly circumcised for habitual reasons.
Be that as it may, such countries that take male circumcision as a norm still make up a minority of the entire world's population.
With that said, there are more penises that are not circumcised than those that are. It may come as a surprise to some, but that is the reality of it.
Most men in Asia, for example, are not circumcised. The exceptions are Indonesia and Malaysia in which the majority of the population associates with being Muslims.
According to an article published on the World Population Review website, only a third of all men are circumcised.
Most of these are reside within Middle East and Africa. Jewish and Muslim boys are cut for religious reasons.
In Africa though, most circumcision happens due to cultural reason, being the rite of passage for teenage boys to enter adulthood.
Meanwhile, a non-Muslim country that does this is South Korea that has the highest number of males who are circumcised based on another religious habit, Christianity.
To conclude, we discussed the significance of understanding male anatomy and how it works. Knowing about your partner’s penis can help ladies develop personal intimacy and comfort in a relationship, and they can help their partners make healthy decisions for their well-being.
Best Ways To Have Sex During Pregnancy
Sex during pregnancy is fine as long as there are no complications related to the same. As a woman, you should understand one thing that pregnancy symptoms may reduce your desire for sex. Some of the things that hinder you from having sex are back pain, weight gain, and nausea. It is absolutely safe to have sex for women who are experiencing an uncomplicated and normal pregnancy. Even though it is safe, you must take some precautionary steps while having sex to protect you and the baby.
If your doctor gave you a green signal for vaginal sex, then use condoms to protect your baby from getting infected from the sexually transmitted disease. You can look for other options such as oral sex and anal sex.
Oral sex during pregnancy
In the first trimester, many women show low sexual interest because they are tired of nauseous symptoms. The second trimester is the best time to have sex with your partner. You will also feel much better and there are more lubricants in the vaginal canal, which will be convenient for you to enjoy sex. You must also find out the suitable sexual position to enjoy the pleasure. It is recommended to have sex either on the sideways position or women on top.
Oral sex is completely safe and it is one of the best ways to have an orgasm. Make sure that your partner does not blow air into the vaginal canal. The air might block the blood vessels, which can cause serious problem to your health and the baby in your womb.
It is good to stick to the licking and kissing of the clitoris part. The clitoris plays an important role in the stimulation of sexual pleasure in the woman's body. You can also swallow the semen and it does not cause any harm to the baby.
Is anal sex safe during pregnancy?
Many women wonder if it is safe to have anal sex during their pregnancy. You must keep certain things in mind before opting for it. At this time, blood circulation doubles up which can lead to hemorrhoids or inflammation. If you are not affected by any of the above-mentioned conditions, then you can have anal sex.
Penetration through anal will push the rectum part against the vagina. It increases the risk of germs spreading from the rectum to the vagina. As a result of it, you will be infected by it. If you are suffering from placenta praevia, then the anal sex may cause some damage to the placenta. It will in turn cause bleeding and imperil your pregnancy. Generally, this type of sex is not recommended during the time of pregnancy.
Tips for having sex while pregnant
Libido levels double up in pregnant women, due to the increased blood flow to the pelvic region. This boosts the sensitivity of the external sex organs. If your doctor has said no to sex, then you can express your intimacy by means of cuddling and kissing. Some of the comfortable sex positions for pregnant women are sideways, spooning, women on top.
You must also know that sex is not the only way to bond with each other. In general sex during pregnancy is safe if the partners are very much clear about following the safety measures without affecting the baby and mother’s health.
