Brief Summary
This video presents a collection of facts and trivia related to sex, covering topics from penis size and function to orgasms, sexual behavior, and related health benefits. It touches on various aspects of human sexuality, including statistics, biological functions, psychological effects, and cultural behaviors.
- Penises vary in size and type (growers vs. showers).
- Orgasm has numerous health benefits.
- Sexual behavior and attitudes are influenced by various factors.
Introduction to Penises
The word "penis" originates from Latin, meaning "tail." There are many alternate terms for penis, including colorful examples like "Adolf," "Anaconda," "baby maker," and "baloney Pony." Condom manufacturers estimate that only 6% of men require extra-large condoms. The human penis is proportionally and absolutely larger than that of other primates. Only a small fraction of men are flexible enough for self-fellatio.
Growers vs. Showers
Penises come in two types: "growers," which expand significantly when erect, and "showers," which appear large even when flaccid. Approximately 79% of men are growers, while 21% are showers. This means a small flaccid penis can become surprisingly large when erect, and a large flaccid penis may not increase much in size upon erection.
Penis Size and Function
King Fedi of Tonga allegedly deflowered 37,800 women between 1770 and 1784, averaging about seven women per day. There is a penis museum in Iceland. The average erect penis size is 5 to 6 inches, while the average flaccid penis is around 3.5 inches. Smoking can shorten the penis by up to a centimeter due to calcification of blood vessels, which impairs erectile circulation. Men who have been hanged sometimes experience a "death erection," also known as Angel lust.
Ejaculation and Orgasm
A man will ejaculate approximately 7,200 times in his lifetime, with about 2,000 of those times resulting from masturbation. The average speed of ejaculation is 28 mph. Women prefer larger penises, but only if the man is tall with narrow hips and broad shoulders. Approximately 80% of American men are circumcised. Women who achieve orgasm through vaginal stimulation are more particular about penis size. The smallest natural human penis ever recorded was 5/8 of an inch.
Nerve and Sensitivity
The signal to ejaculate originates from the spinal cord, not the brain. The underside of the glans and shaft of the penis are the most sensitive areas for sexual pleasure, followed by the upper side of the glans. Vibrators can be used on penises, even helping men with spinal cord injuries to ejaculate by applying a medical vibrator to the underside of the head of the penis.
Anatomy and Sperm
Half of the penis is inside the body, with the root attached to the pubic bone inside the pelvis. An erect penis is shaped like a boomerang. A healthy man produces about 300 million sperm in a teaspoon of semen, but only one sperm is needed to fertilize an egg, and sperm can live up to a week inside the body.
Post-Sex Behavior and Statistics
A poll indicates that 36% of people under 35 check their Facebook and Twitter accounts after sex. Women reportedly have sex 177% more often than the average man. The average orgasm for people with vaginas lasts 20 to 14 seconds longer than the male's 6-second orgasm.
Health Benefits of Orgasms and Semen
Orgasms can lower a woman's risk of heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, and depression. Exposure to semen can reduce symptoms of depression. Semen contains over 200 proteins and various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, calcium, and zinc.
Psychological and Physiological Effects
People are less likely to find things disgusting when aroused. MRI scans show that different brain regions activate in response to stimulation of the vagina, cervix, clitoris, and nipples. The video humorously suggests that liking the video and subscribing can improve sexual performance and satisfaction.
Post-Orgasmic Effects and Teen Sexuality
It's harder to urinate immediately after sex because the body releases an anti-diuretic hormone. By age 19, 71% of American teenagers have had sex. Shame-free, science-based sex education is crucial for young people.
Miscellaneous Facts
12% of moms admit to using their cell phones during sex. Boys first have sex at age 16.9 on average, while girls average 17.4. People who are more open to talking about sex are happier with their sex lives. Some people feel a similar sense of arousal when thinking about food as they do when thinking about sex. Women who accept their bodies report better sex. Pain threshold increases during arousal, and the amygdala (the part of the brain involved in fear and anxiety) shuts down during a female orgasm.
