The Anatomy of Male Pleasure and Reproduction

Описание: The Anatomy of Male Pleasure and Reproduction

Male sexual anatomy is mostly presented only in terms of reproduction, even though reproduction is only a fraction of what drives male sexuality. True discussions of male sexual anatomy must include the concept of pleasure, the greatest part of what drives male sexuality. A simple thought-experiment demonstrates just how great this pleasure is: Ask any adult male to calculate the number of times he has had (and will have) sex over his lifetime, then ask him to divide this number into two categories: (1) The number of times he had (and will have) sex for reproductive purposes and (2) The number of times he had (and will have) sex for purposes of pleasure. Lastly, ask him which category’s number is greater (way-way-way greater!)? Thus, this paper explores male sexual anatomy in terms of its capacities for PLEASURE and to a lesser extent, reproduction.

(Note: This paper uses the labels “male” and “female” to designate the two human organisms necessary for reproduction in nature.)

“Prominent” Male Sexual Anatomy

The most prominent part of a male’s sexual anatomy is his penis. The penis has three primary functions:

(1) Initiating orgasm.
(2) Transporting semen from the body.
(3) Transporting urine from the body.

Involving both the central and peripheral nervous systems, an orgasm is a physiological release of neuromuscular tension paired with tremendous feelings of pleasure and euphoria. More than 90% of the male population has orgasms throughout their lifetimes, and the penis, whether being physically stimulated by the male himself or some other person, is often the primary part of the male’s sexual anatomy used to initiate orgasms. For example, a 2010 study found the penis involved in two of the top three sex acts most likely leading to orgasm when males are with a partner:

#1. Receiving Anal intercourse
#2. Penile-Vaginal intercourse
#3. Receiving Penile masturbation

Having an orgasm is not the same as ejaculating. Although they often occur at about the same time, orgasming and ejaculating are in fact, two different physiological responses. Males can have an orgasm without ejaculating (dry orgasms) and ejaculate without having an orgasm (ejaculatory anhedonia). Ejaculating involves the emission of semen from the body. There is no more pleasure associated with ejaculating than there is with urinating.

Society shares more myths than truths about the length of the penis. Here are the truths. The newborn’s penis is about 1.3 inches in length. The greatest growth spurt for the penis occurs between 10 and 13 years of age. The penis typically stops growing by age 16. The average length of an adult’s flaccid (non-erect) penis is about 3.6 inches and his erect penis is about 5.2 inches. Seventy-five percent of erect penises are between 4.3 and 5.9 inches in length. Ten percent of males have erect penises less than 4.3 inches in length and 15 percent of males have erect penises greater than 5.9 inches in length.

One of the myths propagated about penis length is most females preferring a larger than average size penis during penile-vaginal intercourse. Larger than average penis size does not predict pleasure or orgasm for the male or female during sexual intercourse. The best predictors for males and females having orgasms during sexual intercourse are:

(1) Deep kissing occurring with the sexual intercourse.
(2) The sexual intercourse including oral sex, manual genital stimulation, or anal stimulation.
(3) The sexual intercourse including new sexual positions.
(4) The people involved in the sexual intercourse asking what they want.
(5) “Sexy talk” occurring with the sexual intercourse.
(6) How long the sexual intercourse lasts.
(7) Verbal expressions of love occurring with the sexual intercourse.
(8) The sexual intercourse occurring within a satisfying relationship.
