Reproductive organs often left people confused, intrigued, and excited. At this rate, every person is interested in knowing random and important facts about the penis. So, we went overboard and found 5 interesting questions everyone has about the penis.
- Is micro-penises real?
Micropenises is very much a real thing but it’s quite rare for you to find one as it affects only about 0.5% of the total male population in the world. But not all penises which are small can be called a micropenis. The average size of the penis of an adult male tends to be around 3.5 inches when flaccid and 5 inches while erect so anything less than that can be considered a micropenis. Micropenises are not something you can develop over time but it is something you are born with. According to Arash Akhavein, MD, micropenises are most probably a result of a hormone abnormality most likely testosterone deficiency during the production stage.
Also, per WebMD, micro-penises are typically attributed to hormonal or genetic factors. A diagnosis for this condition is often made if the stretched penile length (SPL) measures 3.67 inches or less. On average, adult males have an SPL of about 5.25 inches. An early indicator of a micro-penis is a penis length of less than 0.75 inches at birth, whereas the average SPL for newborns is around 1.4 inches.
Having a micropenis will not restrict you from getting erections, masturbate, or have sex. But in most cases, it’s the psychological hindrance of not being able to satisfy or sometimes impregnate their partner, which is the most difficult thing to overcome for men with this condition. However, there are a few treatment options available that can help you with this condition. First being injecting testosterone shots within the first three months of birth or even after that as long as it is given before adolescence. Sometimes surgery like penile lengthening procedure or even phalloplasty can be done depending on how severe and desperate the patient is.
- Can a Penis Break?
Contrary to popular belief that a penis has no bone so many of us might think it can’t be broken. Indeed, a penis does not have a single bone but you can still manage to break it. This generally happens when an erect penis accidentally gets bent or twisted abnormally and that trauma can rupture your membrane termed as ‘Tunea albuginea’ which is a rubberized tissue below the epidermis responsible for the enlargement of the penis muscle during erection.
As stated by Cleveland Clinic, penile fracture can also occur when the penis slips out of your partner and forcefully thrusts against the area between the anus and the perineum or the pelvic bone. Other situations that can lead to penile fracture include vigorous masturbation, accidentally falling onto your erection, accidentally rolling over onto your erection, or unintentionally hitting your erect penis against a wall or door, especially in a dark room.
In the majority of cases, the symptoms of penile fracture include severe pain (duh!), swelling, discoloration, and cracking or popping sound.
Penile breakage is one of the most painful injuries a man can experience in his penis usually happening on the lower third of the penis often due to vigorous masturbation or intercourse. The road to recovery from a penile fracture is a long and painful process where in some cases you may need surgery and stitches to heal completely. And after surgery, the only real thing you can do is to pop painkillers and rest. So keep your emotions under check as one small move can lead you to a world of trouble.
- Can I increase my penis size?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions predominantly by the men. Well, the answer to this question is fairly short but not so sweet. The answer is NO, you cannot do anything medically or non-surgically that will make your junk increase in size. I know, I was just as mad and disappointed as you are. Even though many companies might claim or advertise on certain websites (wink!) in a manner that may seem like they have the magic formulae that can add extra inches. But in reality, what they mean is they can increase the blood flow down there which may result in you getting harder erections.
According to Mayo Clinic, numerous products such as pumps, pills, weights, exercises, and surgeries are promoted as methods to increase the length and width of the penis. However, it’s important to note that there is limited scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of nonsurgical approaches for penis enlargement. Additionally, reputable medical organizations do not endorse penis surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.
Don’t fall for them, these products usually are of no use and often result in negative side effects or even permanent damage. So think with your upper head and not the little head before purchasing any of these products. However, if you are that desperate and have made up your mind to opt for surgical procedures then the only suggestion for you is DON’T. Penis enlargement procedures are too risky and even if you have the surgery, the maximum it can add is 1cm or half an inch. So it’s up to you to decide, is it worth it or not.
- What does a boner feel like?
Well, unlike the above ‘Can I increase my penis size ‘question which was more popular among men. This question however is mostly asked by the women. The answer to this question can be explained differently by different people and there is no right or wrong answer as such. But one of my favorite ways of answering this question is by giving the rubber-band example. Here it goes, start by wrapping multiple rubber-bands multiple times around any of your fingers until it gets red and swollen. You’ll notice that when your finger is pumped and throbbing with blood, it’s hard to think of anything else at that time.
Now girls, imagine that finger as your clitoris which may give you an idea of its sensitivity and on top of that, a penis is twice as big from the finger when erect. It is also followed by the embarrassment it can cause if detected in a public place. So, if this ever happens to you in public, close your eyes and pray to God that it goes back to sleep.
- What does it feel to get kicked in the nuts?
The answer to this question might be a bit difficult to understand for the people born without testicles or women. Many women might say that getting kicked in the vagina is quite similar to getting kicked in the testicles. Well, the reason that’s not a good argument is that a man will never experience getting kicked in the vagina nor will any women experience getting kicked in the nuts. But answering the stated question is quite similar to the above ‘what does a boner feel like’ question, where different men explain it in their ways. Unlike the vagina where everything is inside the body the testicle is all out there with minimum protection.
The testicles contain numerous pain receptors known as nociceptors which make it their life’s purpose to let a man know what kind of pain he is in for. Although a slight blow or kick in the testicles can bring a man to his knees. The feeling after getting hit entirely depends on the intensity of the impact. Common symptoms may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach ache. The majority of the time, curling up and cursing the person who did it is the universal solution for most men. But if you experience pain for more than an hour, having trouble peeing, visible blood then seek immediate medical attention.

- Why do I have hard-ons at night?
Have you wondered why you wake up with a massive erection even after failing to impress your sexual partner the previous night?
Well, this isn’t funny. But you tend to wake up with an erection from nowhere. It doesn’t matter whether you are preoccupied with erotic thoughts on not.
This night-time erection is normal and happens without your knowledge. You experience an erection four to five times at night and most go unnoticed.
It happens when you are deeply asleep and in a semi-conscious state. Here your mind is active but your body is partially paralyzed during the REM phase of sleep.
During this time, your organs are mostly at rest. So blood flows to your heart and penis which have the tiniest vessels, to check circulatory system performance.
Yet it’s also during this duration that much testosterone is in your system. So it could also be a result of the male hormone.
A full bladder may also be a trigger since the valve that shuts urination during ejaculation is the same one that prevents you from urinating during sleep.
- Does age prevent robust erection?
Well, every man thinks that your virility and erection diminish as you hit 50. But advancing age alone doesn’t impact the proper functioning of your penis.
So you shouldn’t blame many years for failure to garner strong erections. Instead, you should check your health.
Weak and unreliable erection may indicate serious health issues. Chronic diseases like hypertension and type 2 diabetes manifest through erection failures.
The vessels leading to the penis and those supplying the heart are similar. Hence erectile dysfunction could indicate that your heart is suffering.
Diabetes also stymies the proper functioning of veins. Thus blood supply becomes sluggish as a result.
Poor diets, lack of physical fitness, and stress could also weaken your erection. Other causes could be linked to injuries to the reproductive system.
According to the National Library of Medicine, ED gets more pronounced in aging males. Still, age isn’t a significant factor causing ED.
In conclusion, we have listed five questions that every man and woman have about the male reproductive organ, the penis. We hope we have provided enough knowledge regarding the penis to help you learn more about the organ.

Does Penis Girth Increase With Age?
Introduction
The topic of penis girth increase with age is one that has been debated for many years. Many believe that as men age, their penis girth increases, while others disagree. This paper will explore the scientific research that has been done on this topic to determine if there is any truth to the claim that penis girth increases with age.
Background
There are many theories as to why penis girth may increase with age. One theory is that as men age, their testosterone levels naturally decrease, which can cause their penis to become larger. Another theory is that as men age, their bodies produce more fatty tissue, which can make the penis appear larger. Some even believe that as men age, their penises may become thicker due to increased blood flow.
Research
One study conducted in 2017 sought to determine if penis girth does indeed increase with age. The study was conducted on a group of men between the ages of 18 and 75. The researchers measured the penis girth of each participant and then compared the results to the participants’ ages. The results of the study showed that there was a slight increase in penis girth with age, but the increase was not significant.
Another study conducted in 2019 looked at penis girth in relation to body mass index (BMI). The study included a group of men between the ages of 18 and 79. The researchers found that there was a slight increase in penis girth with increasing BMI, but the increase was not significant.
Conclusion
Overall, the research suggests that penis girth does not significantly increase with age. While there may be a slight increase in penis girth as men age, it is not enough to make a noticeable difference. It is important to note that this conclusion is based on the research that has been conducted thus far, and more research may be needed to confirm these findings.
