The Size of the Penis Makes no Difference to Sexual Enjoyment

Forget everything you have been told about penis size. Even if it is undersized, even then it can satisfy the woman better than a big penis. Some men are so obsessed with the idea “bigger is better” that they do not feel adequate even though they are normal. It is now firmly established beyond doubt that penis size makes no difference to women’s sexual enjoyment.

Chromosomal Anomalies

About one male in a thousand has a penis which is unusually small due to a chromosomal anomality. It may have XX rather than XY chromosome sets. In medical language it is known as
Klinef elter’s Syndrome
. The extra chromosome means that such individual usually develops feminine breasts and has a low sperm count. They also tend to be obese and display a low level of sexual interest.

There is no relation between
penis size
and
body size
. However there are slight racial differences. Orientals on average have smaller penises than Caucasians. Negroes have larger penises.

However plastic surgeons who perform penis enlargement, report a flourishing business. The results report extension of about one to two inches. It entails releasing the penile shaft from the ligaments and drawing a flap of skin from the pubic area to cover the added length. But it is not worth the time, trouble, money and pain suffered in this connection.

Quacks often Dupe the People

As most people worry about the size of their penis, so charlatans exploit this situation very well to their own advantage. They easily and gladly separate fools from their money for medically approved apparatus or techniques that promise to enlarge penis. Indian quacks prescribe strange types of medicines like massage of the penis with the special oil prepared from a type of lizard
(Sandey-Ka-Tel)
. It is just to befool the people. It does more harm than good.

All the techniques and apparatuses prove ineffective and at worst they can be harmful. Some vacuum like devices can rupture blood vessels in the penis. Sex findings indicate that no pill, potion, exercise, masturbatory technique or external device can affect penis size.

My advice is—Don’t worry, feel happy. Your penis is quite normal. When any man who feels anxiety about his penis and reluctantly or hesitantly engages himself in sexual play, the result is the lack of satisfaction.

In evaluating himself, a man must take into consideration his genital inheritance and what physical characteristics his parents and grand-parents handed down to him.

Anatomy of Male Sex Organ

The sex apparatus in a man is only an exterior limb. It is more visible than woman’s. The penis is generally less cloaked in mystery. This can be both an advantage as well as disadvantage. Penises have an annoying habit of becoming erect at the wrong time and refusing to do so at the right time. They also cause a great deal of anxiety to their owners because of their shape or size.

Male reproductive system

The biological sexual function of the penis is to penetrate the female vagina and deposit sperm. It is also the urinary outlet. Generally it remains flacid but in response to erotic stimuli it becomes erect and engorged with blood. Erection increases its length and girth. The erection and softening of a penis are fascinating to watch. Both can be brought on by various physical and mental stimuli, but neither is routinely under voluntary control.

Normally it hangs limply downward, but in its erect state it points horizontally outward or slightly upwards at an angle. A penis has no muscles along its length, nor any bone, just a ring of muscles around the base which tightens during sexual excitement and helps to keep it erect.

The Penis

The penis is made up of a long shaft and sensitive tip which is called
glans
. The glans has an opening in it. This is the opening of the
urethra
, a narrow tube which performs the dual function of carrying urine from the bladder and semen from the
vas def erens
—the tube which leads from the
testes
. But it never performs both the functions at the same time. During erection, a small muscle closes off the entrance to the bladder so that no urine can be passed. So it is not possible to pass urine and ejaculate at the same time.

The shaft is covered with loose, wrinkly darkish skin which extends over tip to form the foreskin. The head is studded with a mass of nerve ending which make it the most sensitive part of the penis. The whole of the rim or ridge where the head joins the shaft is capable of providing some very pleasant sensations.

On the underside of the shaft is an exquisitely sensitive area the
ferrum
, which looks like a tightly stretched bowstring. Even the lightest touch applied to this part of the penis is enough to produce an erection.

Scrotum and Testes

The loose pouch of wrinkled skin which hangs down behind the penis and which contains the testes is called the Scrotal sack or Scrotum. It has slightly coarse, slightly hairy skin.

The testes produce sperms and testosterone, the hormone responsible for the sex drive. The testes can only produce sperms at a temperature of 35°C, which is 2°C cooler than the temperature inside our body. Each testis contains about 100 m long tiny coiled tube. Sperms are made inside these tubes from puberty until well into old age. When a man ejaculates, replacement sperms are made in these testes. These tubes also transport sperm-laden semen to vas deferens, which are muscular tubes. They are about 40 cm long. When a man ejaculates, sperms are squeezed through these tubes and out of the penis.

About a teaspoonful of semen that comes out, carries almost 400 million sperms. Nature makes sure that atleast one sperm reaches the egg.

Myths about the Testicles

Many men assume that the size of testicles influences sexual power and performance. Normal testicles do not depend upon size or shape. Most men have two testicles but some men have one non-descended testicle and they are able to function perfectly well. Sex drive is mainly influenced by thought patterns and not by the anatomical shape of any organ. Both testicles are never the same. Mostly one hangs lower than the other.

Being Normal

Most people have doubts about themselves in one way or another. If you think you are not normal, your body will not function normally. In 99% of cases, when people believe that something is wrong with them, it is a fact that their problem is psychological rather than physical. In sexual matters we seem to be obsessed with being normal.

A person may be a rich man or may be a distin-guished leader—but still feel inadequate in a simple act of sex that is common for animals and birds. This difference is due to negative preconditioning, concerning our normally based expectations of family and society.

Other Factors

80% of men have erection problems periodically. It is normal.

20% of men are bothered about premature ejaculation, due to lack of control.

10% of men have difficulty reaching orgasm and ejaculating semen.

If a man is able to satisfy the woman of his choice in any way that they mutually decide, he can consider himself normal.

Semen is the Seed of the Man

Earth is the essence of the elements, Water is the essence of the earth
,
Plants are the essence of the water
,
Flowers are the essence of plants
,
Fruits are the essence of flowers
,
Man is the essence of the fruits
,
Semen is the seed of the man
.
(From
Udgith
in the Chandogya Upanishad)

Semen

Semen is a milky, sticky liquid. It is made of
Seminal Fluid
, released from the
Prostate Gland
, and
Seminal Vesicles
.
It
contains millions of sperms. About a teaspoonful of semen contains about 400 million sperms. As semen contains sperms, so, a woman can get pregnant if she has unprotected sexual intercourse with a man. During puberty some boys wake up at night to find semen coming out of their penis. Or boys wake up in the morning and find semen on their pyjamas or sheets. This means that they have had a
nocturnal emission
(wet dream).

Semen Myths

Throughout the world many fictitious beliefs and superstitions are prevailing concerning semen. Hindu religious leaders preach that the semen is the basis of health, strength and life, therefore, semen should be preserved and conserved through abstinence. Masturbation and nocturnal emissions are very harmful hence these should be avoided. That is why
Brahamcharya
has found a prominent place in the Hindu religious thinking.

Hindu belief is based on this conception that after eating 32 kg of food 800 gm blood is formed and out of that blood only 20 gm semen is formed. That means, if you have wasted 20 gm semen through masturbation or nocturnal emission, you have wasted the benefits of 32 kg food.

Early Chinese also held that ejaculation diminished the male element and therefore reduced the man’s strength and may even shorten his life. Therefore various methods were used to retain as much semen as possible even during intercourse.

In early Tantric and Taoist Treatises the use of various techniques are suggested to regulate and control the emission of semen, so that it may ascend and nourish the brain. For this purpose a number of breath and thought control methods are suggested.

Such religious thinking helps the quacks to dupe the people of their hard earned money.

Role of the Scrotum and Testes in Producing Semen

The scrotum is a loose pouch of wrinkled darkish skin in which two testes of oval bodies are enclosed. The left testicle is slightly lower of the two and the whole structure is asymmetrical. In normal proportion the centre of the scrotum should reach lower down than the tip of the slack penis. There is no fatty layer. There are involuntary muscular tissues under the skin which contract in response to various stimuli. For instance, if they get too hot, the scrotum drops slightly so that the testes can cool down.

The scrotum is divided by a partition, in which the muscles are joined together and each division contains one testicle and one epididymis. Epididymis are two thin coiled tubules, which store the sperms that have been made in the testes. Sperms are formed in the testicles.
