Male Organ Oddities -- Strange but True Facts about the Manhood
Male
organ (n.) – the male reproductive organ of
higher invertebrates with the primary functions of delivering seed during
coupling and the elimination of urine from the body. A pretty straightforward
definition for a pretty straightforward tool; so it may come as a surprise that
there is more to this small, fleshy organ than meets the eye. Here are just a
few of the odder facts about the male organ, as well as some tips for improving male organ health.
1. More
than ½ a man’s male organ is actually inside his body. It’s true – while only the business end
of the male organ actually protrudes from the body, the smooth muscle and
reproductive tissue continues on the inside, making up a good 50% of the actual
length of the male organ. No, that does not mean that a guy with a 5-incher (by
far the normal size for a stiff adult male) can claim that he has a 10-inch
tool.
2. The
male organ can break (youch!). Well,
not break, exactly, because there is no bone in the boner at all. However, the
connective tissue surrounding the reproductive chambers can – unfortunately –
be ruptured if it is subjected to some very rough treatment. Because this can
lead to scarring of the connective tissue, which can affect both the length of
the male organ and the direction of a hard-on – not to mention severe pain –
caution during indoor sports is strongly advised.
3. Some
guys have two. No, really. A
very, very small percentage of male infants are born with a condition known as
diphallus, the scientific term for two male organs. While some interesting
possibilities spring to mind here, no record exists of a guy having two fully functional Johnsons – and in fact, the 2nd is generally surgically removed during
infancy.
4. It
used to have a spine. No,
not that kind of spine… a spine – the pointy kind, like on a cactus or
a porcupine. Scientists are not exactly sure what function it had, although it
is likely it was somehow involved in reproductive function. Women the world
over are thankful that this spine got lost along the evolutionary chain,
somewhere between Neanderthals and Homo
sapiens.
5. Male
seed has antidepressant properties. Not only are male emissions full of
little wiggly swimmers; they also happen to have a rich mix of neurotransmitter
chemicals that are known to have antidepressant properties. Oxytocin,
serotonin, and melatonin, all known mood elevators, can be found in seminal
fluid, as well as the affection-enhancing cortisol. Not that an antidepressant
effect can be obtained by ingesting the fluid. Just saying.
6. It
needs good nutrition, too. OK,
maybe this isn’t all that surprising – most of us know that the old saying,
“you are what you eat” applies to the entire body, and proper nutrition is
essential to overall health and wellbeing. What many don’t realize, though, is
the role that certain nutrients play in the health and function of the male
organ. For instance, the
ever-popular vitamin C is essential to many aspects of male structure; it is an
important component in building and repairing circulatory tissue, as well as
the connective tissue that gives the skin its shape and elasticity. Vitamin A,
which is well-known for its skin-boosting properties, is also needed for
healthy, youthful-looking skin, while vitamins B5 and D contribute to overall
cellular function. Even more importantly, amino acids such as acetyl L
carnitine and L-arginine are required for reproductive function, as well as
maintaining nerve health. Men should not be intimidated by this list, however,
even if their diet is not ideal. Applying a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend
Man1 Man Oil) containing a
blend of these nutrients after a daily shower can go a long way toward
nourishing the male tissue, leaving the male organ supple and responsive.
