The penis is normally three to four inches long and in normal flaccid state about one and a quarter to two inches in diameter. When a man is sexually aroused it grows erect, the organ measures about one and half inches in diameters and five and a half to six inches in length along its upper side. It is made up in part of spongy tissue which becomes gorged with blood, making the organ hard and rigid.



The erection is necessary in order to achieve the penetration of the vagina. In response to mechanical or psychological, i.e. stimulation, the erection is achieved through a nervous mechanism which causes a rush of blood into the organ and at the same time greatly restricts its flow, thus causing rigid distension. Like the size the shape also varies from man to man. Penis is the male organ which releases the semen into vagina.

The foremost end of the penis is called glans penis. It is slightly thicker than the rest of the shaft. In the flaccid state, the glans is partly or wholly covered by a loose layer of the skin, in the uncircumcised men, called the prepuce or foreskin. This is retracted for the purpose of cleaning and it becomes naturally retracted after entry in coitus. The surface of the foreskin is somewhat called smegma. It is an irritating secretion and should be regularly cleaned; otherwise it makes the forepart of the penis to become cheesy in appearance by breeding germs. It should be washed daily with soap. The glans has the most sensitive nerve endings. A slight soft touch to excite a man and to make it erect.

A direct and gentle stimulation of male organ almost always causes erection. This is borne out of a relax action and may occur in sleep. Erection may be caused without any rubbing just by erotic thoughts even. In the early morning it may be aroused because of the urge to urinate. Most such erections terminate without any discharge.

Ejaculation is the culmination of sexual stimulation in man. Having entered the vagina, the most sensitive nerve endings of which the penis is made up, become tense and excited on account of the friction against the walls of vagina, it may experience further fanned by the secretion of fluids in the vagina. To and fro movements add on the arousal. The tension gets higher and higher till it reaches the climax to explode and get released. This process of the climax and the release of the seminal fluids is known as ejaculation. At the time of climatic height and orgasm the seminal discharge takes place. Just as the first menses indicates the onset of puberty in a girl, in a boy the first ejaculation marks the entrance into adolescence.
