Nine penis facts you probably didn’t know

Penises – our pride and joy and usually the most enjoyable part of our body. Despite how much we value our manhood, there’s a lot we don’t know about willies around the world. So here are some penis facts from the weird, the wonderful to the downright whacky!

Thought you had a big penis?

Of course, the first thing you’ll want to know is the world record for the world’s largest penis, and trust us, we have the facts! A man from New York measured in at a staggering 13.5 inches long. To give you some perspective that is longer than a 30cm ruler and is one 15th the size of a giraffe! Long eh?

And for the smallest?

Mike Carson, from Miami holds the title for world’s littlest fully functioning willy at a jaw-dropping 1/16th of an inch. Carson told Empire news: “For a long time, I was very embarrassed by my penis, but now, I pretty much just go with it,” He added: “I’m 29 now, and I’ve had girls come up to me and say they ‘just have to try it out,’ so I can’t even tell you how many women I’ve been with because of it.” Go on, son!

Is your penis normal?

The world’s average size for an erect penis comes in 5.16 inches, while most women hoping to find a partner who are 6.3 inches. Men of The Republic of Congo hold the title for having the biggest penises at just over seven inches. No need to be jealous guys!

Multiple erections can happen during your sleep!

Many men can have up to three to five erections during one night’s sleep and can be stimulated by their mood, dreams and room temperature. That’s most men spending up to four hours a night with an erect willy. Blimey guys!

Erections aren’t just for adults!

Studies have proven foetuses in the womb can get erections and have since been detected by ultrasounds. They start early, eh?!

And corpses can get erections too!

An erection after death is a thing and is often referred to as angel lust. Though it’s not understood why angel lust happens, there is a correlation with corpses and erections when blood vessels are majorly damaged.

Some men have more than one willy

Though very rare, some men are born with two penises! The condition is called diphallia and happens to one in 5.5 million Americans, with scientists unable to pin point the exact cause. The functionality of the penises entirely depends on the individual. Some are fully working and normal sized, while others are malformed and struggle to ejaculate and urinate.

Men can have penis transplants!

As of 2017, three men around the world have undergone penis transplantation. The first procedure in China in 2006 resulted in the patient having his surgery reversed because he struggled to cope with the physiological trauma. But since, the other two men have been happy with their fully functioning new penises.

And finally, some men can give themselves blowjobs!

Maybe surprisingly, one in 1000 men are flexibly able to pleasure themselves orally. Speechless? I think we’ll stop there!
