We have all seen posts of men not understanding women’s anatomy. How have you experienced this the other way?

For instance, My wife confidently told me that men who jerk off a lot actually stretch the skin of their penises permanently. If that were the case, mine would be looped around my waist.

Yes, I am aware of Jelqing, it doesn’t work. That is not what she was referencing.

    Tell her that baby boys even get boners while still inside the womb.

    Also, the penis is not a muscle. It gets hard because it contains chambers that fill up with blood.

        Can confirm, was born with more boner than brains; has been an ongoing issue.

      The corpos cavernosum does indeed fill with blood to cause an erection. There are however several muscles in and attached to the penis.

      You have to remember the penis actually extends into the body of the person slightly, and is held by two main muscle groups. The bulbospongious muscle (ever squeeze a water balloon so it stretches tighter? It’s like that for penis blood), and the ischiocavernosus (a check valve for blood basically).

      There is also the suspensory ligament, which is how you can make it nod hello.
