Internet Article Of The Day: Know Your Cock!

The term “required reading” gets thrown around quite a bit in this day and age of everyone on the Internet trying to

distinguish their content from each other’s, so by telling you that the following bit of business is something that you are required to read, I may be over-playing my hand a bit. The point is, Men’s Health has a fascinating (and quick!) article over at their website called “15 Facts You Didn’t Know About Your Penis.” Why wouldn’t you read an article with that title? It’s about your penis! I mean, don’t you want to know more about your penis? Who wouldn’t?!?!

Here are two highlights from the? article, just to give you a taste of what to expect:

1. Smoking can shorten your penis by as much as a centimeter.?Erections are all about good bloodflow, and lighting up calcifies blood vessels, stifling erectile circulation. So even if you don’t care all that much about your lungs or dying young, spare the li’l guy.

4. The average male orgasm lasts 6 seconds. Women get 23 seconds. Which means if women were really interested in equality, they’d make sure we have four?orgasms for every one of theirs.

Now, a lot of these are pretty basic pieces of information (for example, the whole bit about being a “grower” vs. a “shower”), but there are a few fun pieces of penis-related information that I had no idea about. For instance, who would have known that some king spent his days deflowering about seven virgins a day? Or that you don’t need a brain in order to ejaculate? These are all new facts to us.

The worst, though, is the last little fact that the article lists. Seems like I’m going to have to get a new hobby.

In conclusion: Penis.
