PENIS!!!

Especially chocolate ones!!! Click on the picture to buy.

Who doesn't like a good penis? But who actually knows that much about them? Just like any other organ, the penis is interesting and important. I found this awesome article on webmd about penis facts. I will briefly explain the article, but please go check it out: WebMD--Five Things You Didn't Know About your Penis.

1. Penises are part of the autonomic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that controls your heart and blood pressure. Are you able to control your heart rate and blood pressure? Usually if you really focus, you can bring it up or down,and that's just how your penis is. This is why erections may happen out of nowhere, and you may not be able to control them (like when you're sleeping!). This is why stress and other psychological problems can decrease sex drive or cause Erectile Dysfunction--you might want sex, but your body is just not 'up' to it.

2. Penises are either 'growers' or 'showers.' 'Growers' are men whose penis is very small when flaccid, but reaches a much longer length when erect. 'Showers' are men who have long flaccid penises that don't get much bigger when hard. Alfred Kinsey, an awesome sex researcher, did a scientific analysis of more than 1,000 penis measurements and found that penises that are small when soft grow twice as much as penises that are longer while soft.

3. Penises are not straight--they are shaped like 'boomerangs.' Now, every man has a degree of curvature, and that's completely normal (unless of course, it is painful, in which case, it's always smart to see a physician). But as this article explains, men's penises are like tree stumps. The 'roots' underneath are shaped different, and that's how your penis is. It curves up into your body.

4. Penises can break. I've done a blog post on this, and if you're interested in more information, check it out. Basically, if jerked or bent in a quick, hard way, it can cause a fracture. A fracture will make a loud 'popping' sound, and then your penis will start to swell, turn colors, and make a large lump under the skin. If this happens, go to the hospital. The pain will be intense, and it can cause long-term complications if not dealt with.




5. Only about 30% of men in the world, aged 15 and older, are circumcised. The United States Center for Disease Control says that about 65% of all newborns in the US are circumcised. Jewish and Muslim men are account for 70% of all circumcised men in the world (usually due to religious reasons).Though most people say that being circumcised is a 'cosmetic' procedure, studies have shown that getting snipped can lower your risk for HIV.

  1. Is there a typo there? I thought Jews WERE circumcised, they have to do it like, before 8 days after their born I thought...but maybe I'm wrong. Now I'm confused. Help me, sexpert!

  2. That WAS a typo. Thank you!! I must have mixed some things up when reading it all. Thanks for pointing it out. Jews&Muslims are the ones most common to get 'cut.'

Five Freebies List.

The holidays were very busy for me, and as a result, I got away from my blog :(. But to my surprise, my views have stayed pretty steady, so thank you so much!!! To ease me back into working on it, I'm doing a fun little post. I was watching Friends the other night when Chandler brings up a 'list' that he and his girlfriend have together. (Here is a link to the video: Friends - Freebie list.    It wasn't posting on here for some reason!) It's a list of five celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, while still dating your partner, if you ever get the chance. I found this funny because my boyfriend and I have talked about this before. So, just for fun, here's my list (in no particular order)!!!! 1. Heath Ledger. Candy, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, The Dark Night, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Brokeback Mountain, etc. This man is, to me, the sexiest man who ever lived. It is very upsetting to me that he is no longer here, because I...

Five Freebies List--Female Version.

So, I decided to make a list of my five freebies that I would pick, but this time, just girl celebrities. It's easy to have girl crushes--girls are so pretty. The ones I have on my list are hot, but I'd love to look like them too. Again, no particular order. 1. Emma Stone Zombieland, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits, etc. With a head of fire (though she pulls off any color hair) and a smoky voice, how does everyone not think she's beautiful? Not to mention she's a great actress and has a good sense of humor. And she's only 23!!!! 2. Anna Paquin http://www.trueblood-news.com/anna-paquin-beautiful-mind The Piano, Fly Away Home, Scream 4, X-Men, True Blood, etc. She plays my favorite character from a book, and she does it wonderfully. She portrays a sweet southern girl so well that she makes me want to move down there and be one myself. Plus that episode where Sookie appeals to Eric & Bill in that sexy red lingerie? Yum. Not to mention th...

Product Review: Satisfyer Pro 2--Next Generation

You all might remember a couple of months ago when I reviewed a few of Satisfyer's vibrators. I love these things. Honestly. I'm not getting paid to say this (though, full disclosure, I did receive the products for free). Recently, they released the newer version of their Satisfyer Pro 2 called Next Generation. You can get it from Amazon for $49.95 . Seriously, look how freakin' cute this is!! They actually have a whole line of Next Generation models. They all look very similar to the earlier models, except for the Penguin , which is black and white and has a purple bow tie and is probably the cutest little personal massager ever made. Anyways, back to the Next Gen models. These are all made to be waterproof and quick to recharge so as to "revolutionize your bath time fun." I haven't tried any of them in water yet, but I have washed them a couple of times and they hold up completely fine. It is easy to clean, and the little head pops ...
