Rodney Carrington - Dear Penis
Gilles Marini plays Dante, a Casanova who lives in the beach house next door to Cattraill's Samantha in the movie version of Sex and the City. He seduces a new woman (or women) every day, much to Samantha's voyeuristic pleasure. It has been reported that 85% of the audience for the movie are women. And, for many of them, this is probably the first time in their lives that they get to see an uncircumcised penis, something that is very common in most other parts of the world. Let's hear it for nature!!!
Now on to the easy to understand. And, as an equal opportunity site, also see Vulva Envy.

Penis Spots, Lumps, and Rashes
Conditions of the Penis
When spots, lumps, or rashes appear on the penis or scrotum, men may worry that they have a sexually transmitted disease, but in most cases the concerning spots are both common and harmless. The size, shape and color of the spot may help determine whether there is something to be concerned about.
Multiple tiny nodules beneath the skin of the scrotum and at the base of the shaft of the penis are normal hair follicles. These nodules are all similar to each other in appearance.
Small dome-shaped or jagged bumps around the crown of the head (or glans) of the penis are probably pearly penile papules. They appear in about 10-20% of all men, and are likely more common in uncircumcised men than in circumcised men. Pearly penile papules (the medical name is "angiofibromas") are not infectious and require no treatment.
Small red or purple spots with a thick, warty surface are probably angiokertomas. They appear on the glans shaft or scrotum. Most often, they appear on the scrotum of elderly men, though they may be solitary and they may appear in young men. These spots -- known as angiokertomas of fordyce -- are not infectious and require no treatment.
If angiokertomas involve the entire bathing suit area of a child, they may indicate anderson-fabry disease, which results from an enzyme deficiency and requires medical evaluation.
A small, pea-sized nodule on the scrotum, sometimes filled with a cheesy or chalky material, is probably a cyst. Scrotal cysts may be solitary or multiple. They are not infectious and require no treatment, though some men may choose to have them surgically removed. (Editor's note: However, if it feels like a pea it may be the start of testicular cancer. Don't ignore it!)
Red patches with a well defined border may indicate psoriasis. These patches may be scaly or smooth and may arise from the friction caused by masturbation or sexual intercourse. Typically, psoriasis of the penis responds to treatment with a steroid cream. Psoriasis is not infectious.

Very small shiny pink bumps on the glans may be lichen planus. Sometimes the papules have fine scales and sometimes they are smooth. They often appear in a ring or in a line. They may or may not be itchy. Similar lesions may appear on other areas of the body, especially the wrists and shins. Lichen planus is not infectious or harmful, but it does respond to medical treatment. Most cases resolve on their own within a year.
Pink-brown or skin-colored bumps with a moist surface may be genital warts, which are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Genital warts may have a smooth surface or a surface with a cauliflower appearance. They may appear anywhere on the male genitals, the thighs, the pubis (the area just above the base of the penile shaft) or the lower abdomen. Genital warts are the most common sexually transmitted disease. They require medical treatment because of their cancer-causing potential in women.
A single, round and painless ulcer of the penis or scrotum may indicate primary syphilis. The ulcer of primary syphilis typically self-resolves a few weeks after it appears. However, the disease persists in the bloodstream and may be passed on to a sexual partner. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease requiring medical attention. It may cause serious complications if left untreated.
A painless irregular, non-healing genital ulcer might be penile cancer. Penile cancer most often appears on the foreskin or glans. Squamous cell carcinoma, the most common type of penile cancer, occurs more frequently in uncircumcised men. Cancer is not infectious, but it does require medical treatment. When treated early, most penile cancers can be cured.
A cluster of small blisters that evolve into painful ulcers may be herpes simplex. The first episode is often associated with severe pain and a feverish illness, while recurrences may be milder. Herpes is the most common cause of genital ulceration. It is highly infectious and usually transmitted sexually.
Small dome-shaped bumps with a central depression on the penis, scrotum, inner thighs or pubis may be molloscum contagiosum. This is a harmless and common viral disease in children. In adults, it is most commonly spread through sexual contact. The infection is self-limited (lasting months to years) and is not harmful. Nonetheless, many men elect medical treatment to reduce the risk of transmission, to decrease the likelihood of spreading the rash on their own skin and for cosmetic reasons.
Itchy red rash with swelling of the glans may be balanitis. The term "balanitis" simply refers to inflammation of the glans. Being uncircumcised and having poor hygiene are both risk factors for this condition, but balanitis may result from other causes -- both infectious and non-infectious. It requires medical treatment.
The list above is not exhaustive. Self diagnosis of
spots, lumps or rashes is not a good idea and sometimes a
proper diagnosis can only be made with clinical tests. As
with all genital signs and symptoms, seek medical advice and
practice safe sex.

Penis Size:
Common Questions and Answers About Penis Size
Penis size is determined entirely by factors out of our control, and like so much that has to do with our bodies, the size of a penis says nothing about the person it can be found on.
Yet penis size is undoubtedly the single greatest cause of sexual anxiety for men young and old. With so much worry and a mountain of misinformation to match it, there are few generalizations that are helpful. What can safely be said is that concern about penis size is almost always misguided. Great sex is much more than the sum (or length) of its parts. Here then are the ten most common questions men ask about penis size, and ten non-hysterical answers.
What Is an Average Penis Size? The hard numberes
on what the average penis size is, both in terms of length
and girth, as well as an explanation of the problems with
measuring penis size and determining global statistics on
average penis size.
Who Cares More About Penis Size, Women or Men? Is
bigger always better? Does penis size matter to the general
public? Here's what research tells us about the importance
of penis size.
Do Penis Pumps Work? They're marketed as permanent
penis enlargers, and you get emails every day praising their
effectiveness. But do any of them really enlarge the penis?
Am I Too Small for Sex? It's not an accident and
it's not "natural" for men to think their penises are too
small. I won't go so far as to say there's a conspiracy, but
here the the simple reasons why most men think their penis
is too small.
Can I Trust Research on Penis Size? One of the
reasons that it's so difficult to find accurate global data
on average penis size is that measuring penises is a lot
more complicated than you might think. As a result there is
a lot of bad research out there on penis size.
How Do I Measure Up? There is a tendency to
compare yourself to others, and if most of your sex
education has been from pornography, comparing your penis
size to the images you see on your computer screen or TV may
not be a good thing. Here's the real story on how you
measure up, and the trouble with comparing penis size.
Are We Genitally Compatible? Is there such a thing
as your "genital soul mate"? Does penis size play a role in
how well you and a partner are matched sexually?
(Editor's note: There is a Native Ameican spiritual
tradition around sexuality that says "Yes!" to this
question. I believe it's call Qadoshka. It shows, I believe,
six different types of vulvas and discusses which penis each
one works with best - a straight one, one that curves up,
one that curves down, etc.)
What Is a Micropenis? Learn more about what does,
and does not, qualify clinically as a very small penis. Most
men who think they have one don't.
What Is Small Penis Syndrome A new proposed
diagnosis for men who are anxious about their penis size
despite being shown that they do not have an unusually small
penis.
Why Is Everyone Obsessed with Penis Size? There
are those who say penis size does matter. What's important
about penis size for them, and why do they care about it?

Bad
Reporting on Sex Research: Average Penis Size
One of the reasons that it's so difficult to find accurate global data on average penis size is that measuring penises is a lot more complicated than you might think.
Where do you start, literally? As it turns out everyone seems to measure differently, with different techniques from different staring points, which makes it difficult to compare data across studies. The media also seems to be endlessly fascinated with talking about penis size (I wonder why), and can sometimes take perfectly reasonable research and twist it into something both misleading and misguided.
Take this example: I came across a Reuters headline on MSNBC.com informing me that "condoms a big problem for men in India." In contemplating all the things that are wrong with the headline alone, I had to wonder: Are news editors just a bunch of men who giggle at the word "penis?" Are they so enamored by their juvenile distractions that they forget how to do math and uphold an unbiased view of different races?
The article is about a two-year study, conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research, which set out to determine the average penis size of men in India. It is a gloss of a slightly longer, but still bewildering article published in the Times of India.
It reported that most study participants' penises measured 126 to 156 mm in length; 30% measured between 100 and 125 mm. According to the authors, these sizes are significantly smaller than average condom sizes and, therefore, condoms need to be smaller for Indian men. According to the Times of India piece, the council was to make recommendations regarding new condom sizes a few months later (although I doubted from the start that this was true.)
Now, I could be generous and consider the reason for such an absurd statement to be published in a legitimate news source to be the same old story -- when it comes to any sex content, the editorial gaze fogs over and any old rubbish will be printed.
In this case, I should write a letter to Reuters and the Times of India and explain the following:
Condom sizes are universally larger than average penis size. This is true in Europe, North America, and India. Condoms are significantly longer than the average penis length, and are designed to stretch and accommodate average penis width.Measuring penis size is in fact a difficult and somewhat contentious subject. One of the reasons that it's so hard to arrive at accurate averages is that everyone measures differently.
That said, the reported penis size averages for the non-representational sample of 1,400 men in this study fall very much within the Western averages.
While ill-fitting condoms are indeed one reason for condom failure and failure to use condoms in the first place, making condoms smaller will not necessarily fix this problem.
But let's say, on the other hand, that I'm not feeling generous. I'm feeling cynical and bitter about mainstream media's treatment of sexuality. I think to myself: "This sure sounds familiar. Let me think. Who were the last people to seriously correlate genitalia with race?" In this case, I should write a letter to Reuters and the Times of India and remind them of the following:
The last group who carefully documented the relationship between genitalia and race were the colonial "scientists", not exactly the folks any of you want to emulate.In all this reporting, there is confusion between biological origin and citizenship. Suggesting this study applies to all Indian men suggests that every male living in India is the same and has the same background. The generalization being made here is like saying that all American men are white.
I shouldn’t have to point this out to a group of educated news people, but penis size simply is not a salient characteristic from which we can extrapolate anything in regard to race. In fact, let’s not forget that the physical parameters of race are, to an extent, arbitrary. And the variety inside any group is just as likely to be robust as the variety between groups.
In the end, I prefer to think of these articles as
another example of how -- when it comes to reporting on sex
-- journalists and editors consistently phone it in (and not
in a legitimate way.) I don’t know why I find it less
depressing to consider them infantile instead of racist, but
I do.

10 Sex
Myths You've Believed Basically Your Whole Life
Myth 1: Men think about sex every seven seconds
That would mean men think about sex 514 times every hour. At their jobs, at the grocery store, on the toilet, etc. Even though that statement alone seems flat out ridiculous, there's also research to debunk this myth. A study found people thought more about food, sleep, personal hygiene, social contact and even coffee more than sex. Plus, everyone is different so you can't say that all people—especially gender-specific—think the same way.
Myth 2: Foot size correlates with penis size
Anna (from Frozen) was right—foot size does not determine whether or not guys have big junk. Neither does having large hands, big ears, etc. However, if you really want to get scientific, there's a study that suggests the shorter a man's index finger is in relation to his ring finger, the longer his penis is...Hmmm.
Myth 3: The bigger the penis, the more sexual satisfaction
Guys really have no reason to be self-conscious about what's going on down there. In fact, guys with bigger penises actually might have a disadvantage and here's why: the G-spot is located two inches inside the vagina and is stimulated with the head, and a big penis often misses the spot completely.
Obviously, everyone has different pleasure preferences, but guys can rest assured knowing they need not be self-conscious of penis size.
Myth 4: It's impossible to conceive another baby while pregnant
OK, this is extremely rare (like, one in a few million pregnancies) but not impossible—it's called superfetation and has been documented a few times.
"Here's how it happens — egg and sperm, implant. Of course, that's your first pregnancy, says NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman. "But if you ovulate more than one time a month, and women do, and a sperm happens to meet that egg and they, too, implant, guess what, you get a second fetus. You just have to hope it happens within that early window."
Sooo maybe still use protection just to be safe.
Myth 5: Pulling out is always ineffective at preventing pregnancy
First of all, STDs and STIs are the first concern when your partner goes in without protection. Depending on your partner's self-knowledge and control through (and how much you trust them) pulling out can be "as effective as condoms at preventing pregnancy," according to a 2014 study. Another study says that if practiced at rockstar level, only 4 percent of couples who do this will get pregnant in a year.
Myth 6: The hymen breaks and bleeds the first time you have sex, and it's painful AF
If you've watched any teen movie, you've heard dudes dish about "popping a girl's cherry." First of all, EW, and secondly, NOPE. Not how it works.
The hymen (or the cherry, to continue the gross metaphor), don't always rip and bleed upon first penetration. While this may happen to some women, others hymens break over time through athletic activities, using tampons, etc. Furthermore, this article says that when women experience pain during sex it has less to do with hymens and more to do with nerves and tight muscles.
Myth 7: All women orgasm from penetration
Ahhhhh, that's almost laughable. According to Planned Parenthood, 80 percent of women have difficulty climaxing from vaginal intercourse alone. 80 percent! So no, there's nothing wrong with you if you feel like you're never able to climax from G-spot stimulation during sexy time. Don't worry, there are other ways to get that big O, which brings me to...
Myth 8: The clitoris is just a teeny tiny sex organ
NOPE. The part we can visibly see is about a centimeter or two long, but it actually extends inside, and that's where pleasure city happens. Most of the organ is located inside the body and is about the size of a medium zucchini. And I will leave you with that visual.
Myth 9: Only men have wet dreams
While statistically, men have more wet dreams than women, a study found that 37 percent of women reported having a "nocturnal orgasm." In fact, these sleep-gasms are pretty common, they're just not as easy to track as men's for obvious reasons.
They happen during the REM stage of sleep when blood rushes to the genital area. Whether you're fantasizing about Ryan Gosling or the donuts you had for breakfast, these dreams don't always have to be sexual, much like with men.
Myth 10: You can only lose your virginity through P to V penetration
Society has led us to believe a woman is a virgin until she's had a penis inserted into her vagina—but this is very misconstrued. Everyone has different definitions of virginity and what sex is in general, and NEWSFLASH, it's not always heteronormative.
The idea that sex is strictly penetrative contact excludes a large number of people who don't think of themselves as virgins...and their definitions will be unique to them.
For every 35 pounds of weight a man gains over his ideal weight, his penis will appear to be one inch smaller.
