We asked two men and a medical expert about the male member

We had questions about the penis answered once and for all by real experts.... the stories speak for themselves...

Men and sex

1. A morning erection is completely normal

"When we wake up with an erection, also known as morning wood, understand that this is a natural process and not because we were dreaming about another girl. It’s just not the case... our bodies are waking up and this "check" is simply part of it... but nothing is stopping you from making use of a good morning stiffy.

2. The average man lasts about five minutes in bed

Every penis is different and there is no set time for how long a man can maintain an erection, but an expert tells us that the average should be "about five minutes." Various studies on sexual behavior have also confirmed that the actual sexual act lasts an average of five to seven minutes. So don't be too hard on him if he can't keep his erection for 20 minutes.

3. When it comes to sex, it doesn't matter whether the penis is circumcised or not

For the female partner, the feeling will be the same. So your vagina won't notice a difference between a circumcised and an uncircumcised penis. For men who have been circumcised, however, it's a different story. The glans can be more sensitive for a few months after the operation.

4. Yes, sometimes men are guilty of thinking with the wrong head

His brain doesn't work as well when all that blood is flowing down there, so it might be better to avoid having that serious conversation about the most important things right after the act. "Erections make us make bad decisions. Don't expect us to be able to do math or solve problems when we're trying to get into your pants. Give us some time to cool down before you hit us with the hard questions,"

5. Don't be mean to his penis

Don't make jokes about our masculinity – whether it's about length, shape, or smell. It can be incredibly emasculating and hurt some men's self-confidence, causing them not to perform at the right time. Which brings us to the next point...

6. Size... don't bring it up

No man likes hearing about the 'package' of your exes. So even if you, uh, have been around and are a bit disappointed by the size, let him remain in blissful ignorance. Size is something we have no control over, and it's not as important as chemistry and technique. It's not about the size of the boat; it's about the motion of the ocean... and whether the captain can stay in the harbor long enough for all his crew to disembark.

7. You can break a penis

Penile fractures are a real problem and, we assume, very painful. They usually happen when an erection is bent with force. Be careful during sex, especially when changing positions.

8. There is absolutely no way to determine the size of a man's penis without actually seeing it.

No, his shoe size, nose, or the distance between his thumb and index finger are not indicators of his length. There is no scientific explanation for it. So don't look at his shoes to determine if a man has a large penis.

10. But it is a desire, not a necessity. So don't feel forced to do something you're not in the mood for.

Admittedly, movies and porn may have played a role in this. But honestly, for a man, oral sex feels more intimate than intercourse. For a man, oral sex is like walking into Sephora for a woman. You see the bright lights and you can't help but go in. It's not necessary, but it's always a desire... just like women always love walking around in Sephora, there is that desire for oral sex.

11. Surprise – premature ejaculation is more of a psychological problem

Premature ejaculation is a learned behavior. Men who masturbate often are more likely to suffer from this because they are used to reaching orgasm quickly. It is more psychological than pathological. For your information: anything that lasts less than a minute is considered premature ejaculation.

12. Men also have trouble finishing

It's not you, it's him. It's usually because he can't maintain the stimulation long enough to reach an orgasm. The causes can be psychological (distraction, stress, etc.) or pathological (erectile dysfunction). And if it takes a while for him to get an erection, don't take it personally, because the problem is not with you. There could be a thousand factors as to why the flag is at half-mast. He might be stressed, or maybe he just has other things on his mind at that moment.
