Octopuses may be the brains of the sea, but not the sea lovers. They really give a new perspective to the phrase "the male is just a tab of the penis." A new study made at the University of California, Berkeley, and published in the journal "Marine Biology," shows that at least one species of octopus inhabiting the s... |

Besides the issues concerning penis sensitivity loss (or not), circumcision is regarded by many as being a hygienic operation. Some like to see in it as an anti-HIV weapon. But despite the myth surrounding circumcision, it appears that the procedure does not protect men against common sexually transmitted diseases (S... |

You are more familiar with cultural festivals, focused on music or movies, or maybe with Oktoberfest. But those tiny hard working Japanese, so sober at a first glance, can go crazy in some occasions. If you hurry up, in just about 2 weeks you can be a participant in the annual three-day Kanamara (Iron Phallus) Festiv... |

I tell you, this is a first-aid kit. But not for your little girl. If girls envied boys for their penises during their childhood, now they have no reason for that, due to the product of an American company.They can get fun and excitement by creating a life size, vibrating, rubber replica of the penis using the adult ... |

Many men cannot maintain an erection even for a few seconds. Others cannot get rid of it. Priapism is prolonged penile erection in the absence of sexual arousal; the penis does not return to its flaccid state, even if there is no excitation, within about four hours. Even kings have been affected by this, like Carol I... |

There's no much motivation in making a man engulf a huge steak with French fries and a large beer. Losing weight is another issue. Still, there is hope: warning overweight men that the extra fat can lead to impotence could be a crucial and effective urge to make them adopt weight-loss strategies."Most men are ob... |

You think that dumping endless amounts of pesticides around and taking drugs indiscriminately will affect only the sex of fish, frogs and other species in the wild fauna? You're wrong: even the penis of your boy may be affected. Hormone mimicking chemicals, which can be relatively harmless alone when present in ... |

Blue whales may have 2,4 m (8 feet) long penises, but that's relatively short: it is like a human having a 10 cm penis, as the blue whale can reach 33 m (100 feet) body length. But barnacles, small crustaceans looking like small shells fixed on rocks or man made structures (or sometimes even on whales!) with a m... |

What many people do not know is that the erection is a passive action. In fact, when men do not have erection, the penis makes an effort: the smooth muscles of the arteries at the base of the penis must stay contracted, in order to impede the blood filling the penis. (In fact, most aphrodisiacs, including Viagra, con... |

We may not be so impressive as other species with our physical abilities: powerful muscles or weaponry like fangs, claws, horns and so on. But we have evolved to excel in one issue: sex. Not regarding sexual activity - as it has been shown that the bonobo (which is also wrongly named "dwarf chimpanzee") has more sex ... |

I know we live in an age when sex is important - well, it's been pretty much the main thing out there throughout the whole human history - or, if you will, an age when people finally admitted to themselves that sex is among the most important things out there and developed a more relaxed attitude towards it. But... |

David Beckham is the kind of celebrity that could pull off just about anything - and the world would still stare in adoration at him and fall at his feet. But when the soccer stud and husband to 2007's worst-dressed woman, Victoria Beckham, decided to show his crotch and pretty much leave little to the imaginati... |

Welcome, everybody, to another famous episode of "Celebrity penis talk". OK, maybe I should have given some extra thought to my opening line, but I was so excited with the news I was going to bring you that I sort of decided to make a slight concession in the "style" department. Because, you see, today is a very spec... |

The male Australian aborigines were hunting with their penises. With copulating penises. These were the results of Dutch research, published in on-line British Medical Journal, which showed that during sexual intercourse, more specifically the male-on-top "missionary position", the penis took the shape of a boomeran... |

Urinating countless times a day is one thing, but what follows after surgery is much worse: impotence. Operation of prostate cancer is in most cases connected to damage to the cavernous nerve, which means blood vessels necessary to induce an erection are blocked. Even nerve-sparing surgeries involve a long time recov... |

The 'phantom limb' may sound more familiar to you. Amputees still feel their missing limb. But what about the phantom penis syndrome?

There may be animals with double penises (like lizards, snakes or sharks) out there, others to possess a double-headed penis (like marsupials), but echidna is unique: it has a four-headed penis! Scientists have been puzzled by this odd anatomy. Echidna does not even use its penis for urination and it gets it out of t... |

Feeling that you're 'a woman trapped in a man's body' can make the person extremely unhappy. But surgery is regarded in these cases with a great deal of reserve by the medical community, as long term studies about the results on the life of the patients are inexistent. Amid the controversy, a new ... |

The main tourist attraction in Cerne Abbas village (Dorset, England) is not its river, nor the streets lined with stone houses, not even the Abbey; it's its famous giant, a 55 m (180ft) naked figure carved into the chalk hillside. Many would think of the giant, property of the National Trust, the same age as Sto... |

Well, cleaning the penis minutes after sex does not wash away the HIV. On the contrary, for uncircumcised men, it even increases the risk of getting infected. The team at the Makerere University Institute of Public Health made the research on 2,552 uncircumcised, HIV-negative men aged 15 to 29 from the Rakai district... |

This is seen by many people as a form of genital mutilation, similar to what they do in west/central/northeastern Africa to women, practice aimed to decrease sexual sensitivity and pleasure.

Well, vagina appeared to be a better candidate for producing "microbicides", drug-delivery systems such as gels, rings, sponges or creams to prevent infection with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Penises are strongly connected to the war between sexes. Only animals with internal fecundation have a penis, no matter if they lay eggs or deliver living offspring. A penis' main goal is to insert the sperm inside the female body to fertilize the eggs.Internal fecundation is a must for terrestrial breeding anim... |

A man with a micropenis has an unusually small penis, of about 2 cm at birth, and 4 cm in adulthood (2.5 times smaller than the average penis size). The micropenis is discovered shortly after birth when all parts of the genitals have had a chance to fully evolve, when scrotum and perineum is well-developed, to discar... |

This is the last resort: when everything else has failed - from Viagra to injections - an "inflatable penile prosthesis", the penile pump, is the only way of restoring erection in case of severe sexual dysfunction.

There is a tough war going on between the two sexes, in which the male wants to be sure the offspring are his, while the female is looking for the best male to father her progeny.

Muslims, Jews and most Americans should envy most European males. Because indeed, uncircumcised penises give more sexual pleasure.

You may have heard that the tiger is menaced by the demand on the Chinese black market of tiger penis bone.

Power is of many types, but the sexual one is extremely important.

Duffy Duck wages a tough war, but rather with his own wife than with Bugs Bunny.

Before searching for the oldest penis, we must establish when it could have appeared.

Promiscuity is wide spread in nature. Females can have sexual contacts with many males, something their male partners cannot prevent. That's why they have developed certain mechanisms that turn these actions sterile and make them father the offspring: this is called sperm competition. In the wasp spiders, the ma... |
