Gender Differences In Adulthood

While guys may try their best to appear confident and self-assured, many of them (if not all) have some deep-seated concerns and anxieties about their penises. In fact, in many men, these concerns can become something of an obsession, which may damage their confidence and even prevent them from developing intimate relationships. Being informed about the male anatomy can eliminate some of the worries about whether or not a man has a normal penis and help him to take charge of his penis health. Some common insecurities about the manhood are addressed here.

My penis is much smaller than the guys I see in adult movies. Am I smaller than average? Size is an incredibly important issue to most men, and many are convinced that they are abnormally

This dark line runs from the perineum, across the scrotum and all the way up the shaft of the penis. It is known as the penile raphe, a Greek word that simply means "seam." It is the result of the genital distinction between males and females that occurs in utero and is present on all men.

* Cleanliness is key. Close attention to hygiene should always be a priority, and not just the afternoon before a big date. Men who clean their equipment daily are less likely to develop uncomfortable and embarrassing skin problems, not to mention that signature fishy smell.

* A little breathing room, please. Restrictive clothing, sitting too long and even cycling can cut off much of the blood supply to the area; this can result in loss of sensation and even damage a man 's ability to perform.

* Snuff the butts. Most men may wish for a longer penis, but few dream of a more diminutive tool. Because of this, men who haven 't yet gotten the memo that smoking is destructive to the entire body may take note when they learn that smoking not only damages penile sensation and performance, but can actually cause it to shrink by up to an
