Let’s face it, penises are sort of weird. We don’t know a ton about them because we don’t have them (obviously), they’re seemingly uncontrollable snake-like body parts hanging off of a dude and also they just look really funny. So wouldn’t it be kind of fun to learn some crazy and interesting facts about a penis, even if we don’t have one for ourselves? Yup.
I mean, penises might seem a little bit intimidating, especially if you’ve never actually seen one, but there are actually some seriously crazy facts about them! I learned a lot about every dude’s most prized possession while writing this and honestly, I feel like it’s even helped me understand guys a little bit better. Read on to check out these weird, crazy and interesting penis facts.
Very Little Men Really Need Extra-Large Condoms
According to condom manufacturers, only 6 percent of men actually need an extra-large condom. Yes, this means that most dudes carry around Trojan Magnums just to impress the ladies. Relax, dudes. Relax. Source: ShutterStockGuys Can Enjoy Vibrators Also!
You probably thought the joy of vibrators was something only women could appreciate. However, not true. Men can use vibrators too, but the feeling is SUPER powerful. Don't believe me? It's so powerful that men with spinal cord injuries who are paralyzed can orgasm using a special vibrator. Crazy. Source: ShutterStockMost Men Can Have Really Short Sex
Yes, the stereotype is true: men can have faster sex than women. 85 percent of dudes out there can finish up a sex session in three minutes or less and be satisfied. Us ladies? Not so much. So try not to get too annoyed when he's done before you even started. Source: ShutterStockErections Keep Dudes Healthy
Don't get mad at your boyfriend for watching porn or masturbating on his own - it turns out guys really need to have regular erections in order to stay healthy! Tobias Kohler, MD, says that the penis "has to be essentially exercised" so it stays in shape. Source: ShutterStockEven Fetuses Can Get Hard
Um, this is pretty uncomfortable for me to write, but apparently, even a little tiny fetus can have an erection. Ultrasound tests have shown that it can happen in the third trimester. Starting early! Source: ShutterStockSome Men Are Flexible Enough To Give Themselves Oral Sex
One in 400 men on average are flexible enough to actually give themselves oral sex. Ew, yuck, no. Please, no. Just don't. Source: ShutterStockDudes Have A LOT Of Erections
Guys are basically constantly turned on, like, all the time. The average man has 11 erections during the day and 9 at night. Whoa buddy! The average man will also ejaculate 7200 times in his life. That's, um, a lot of pleasure. Source: ShutterStockThe Average Size Of A Dude's Penis Is...
An average penis size, when erect, is 5 to 6.4 inches. If you're so inclined, pull out a tape measure and find out if your guy matches up with that. Also, despite what you may have heard from your girl friends or movies or whatever, you cannot tell what a man's penis size is by looking at his hands, his feet, his finger or his nose or anything else. So stop trying to figure it out. Source: ShutterStockA Male Orgasm Is Very, Very Quick
A dude's orgasm only lasts 6 seconds, which is basically no time at all... no wonder they're always coming back for more! In comparison, a woman's orgasm lasts about 23 seconds. We win! Mwahaha. Source: ShutterStockA Penis Is Darker In Color Than The Rest Of Their Skin
Have you ever noticed that a man's penis tends to be darker in color than the rest of his body? Sort of strange, right? While it's partly because of the sexual maturation process and all of the blood flow happening down there, it's also because guys masturbate so much. Think about it. Or don't. Source: ShutterStockA Man's Penis Is Like... A Tree?
Yes, I just compared a penis to a tree. Hear me out. A dude's penis might be 5 inches long when erect, but it's technically a lot bigger than that. That's because half of their penis is inside their body - like a root! Source: ShutterStockThere Are Two Types Of Penises
Maybe you've heard of the terms "grower" and "shower" before. Well, turns out, they're pretty legit. Some penises are growers - they expand and lengthen when they get hard. Other penises are showers - they look big all the time, but don't get much bigger when they get erect. Interesting! Source: ShutterStockGuys Have No Control Over Their Sleep Erections
Dudes get erections while they're sleeping all of the time and it's not always because they're having a super sexy dream or anything like that. It can happen due to impulses in the brain during REM, which is a deep dreaming phase of sleep. During REM, a guy could be having his worst nightmare ever and his penis could still be erect. So don't freak out if you see it happen. Source: ShutterStockThe Most Sensitive Part Of A Penis Is...
The penis in general is super sensitive, but what's the most sensitive part? It seems like it's the underside of the glans and the underside of the shaft in most men. So... be careful with that area. Source: ShutterStockSmoking Cigarettes Can Ruin Your Penis
Here's another reason why cigarettes are pretty much the worst things ever: they can slowly destroy your penis. Not only can smoking make it really hard to get a boner (because inhaling tobacco is bad for your circulation and penises are all about blood flow), but it can also make a penis shorter. Yes, cigarettes can shrink penises. Still want to smoke, dudes? Source: ShutterStockWhat do you think about these facts? Did you know any of these already? What do you think is the most interesting?

That is so weird their D WAY DARCKER in some cases the tips are pink circumcised is the worst
Lay off the cigarettes. Seriously, we all make choices everyday. Stop being so judgmental!
By the way, I’ve smoked ONE in my whole life, and I still defend the right to freedom!
Those are interesting facts, is their a way to send the information or is their an app for those facts and information?
I know if I ever told my friends some of these facts they would never believe me. This helps explain a lot about penises. Dick talk is one of those things that either comes up or doesnt, and someone always thinks they are an expert or their bf has the magic penis.
Guys giving themselves oral sex has to be the weirdest and I unfortunately have seen that (not in person) but some guys can do that. Dont go looking for it online because you will find it. The part about the darker color and if its a grower or shower penis was interesting.
Despite my logical half telling me “Don’t read this, you’re only going to get grossed out” curiosity got the better of me and I read it anyway. Yes, they’re interesting facts, but I had to work extra hard at not visualizing anything because…. *shudders*
The one about smoking is a very good way to persuade your boyfriend to cut it, haha
That awkward moment that you know that your boyfriend is one of those 1 in 400 xD And he says that it really shouldn’t creep people out. After all, most guys give themselves handjobs. Whats the difference? That is like saying that blowjobs are worse than handjobs.
