The Benefits of The Male Anatomy
Upon looking at a male's penis, you may wonder why it looks the way it does, having a shaft with a bulbous head and a ridge around its bottom (coronal ridge). The answer is based on two main factors, which have to do with the overall biological need for heterosexual males to impregnate women.
Because our bodies are designed to be competitive with members of the same sex when it comes to our reproductive organs, men are geared to eliminate other male competition by being able to impregnate a woman most effectively. The shape of the human penis is designed to do just that.
The longer and thicker a man's penis, the more effective he can be at eliminating sperm from another man because if a woman has more than one male sexual partner over 48 hours, then the sperm of these men compete for reproductive access to her egg.
The Role of Length & Width
Length
The average male penis is 5 - 6 inches, allowing a man's penis to reach up toward the woman's cervix. Depending on the length, in some cases, a male's penis can lift her uterus, allowing him to leave sperm deeper inside the vagina than another man.
Head Width
The width of the coronal ridge is significant for two reasons:
- It allows a man to remove the sperm of another male from the vagina effectively. It moves up the vagina and then drags the sperm of another male out of the vagina by the coronal ridge.
- It stimulates the female's G-spot, which provides sexual arousal and, in turn, stimulates the cervix, which will begin pulling upward, creating a suction that will allow sperm to more effectively reach the egg.
The Refractory Period
After men ejaculate, they experience a refractory period, which means losing their erection to half its full erect size within one minute of ejaculating. Their penises also become hypersensitive, making further stimulation to the penis feel unpleasant. Men typically stay in the refractory period between 30 minutes to 24 hours and are rendered temporarily impotent following ejaculation. This occurs to prevent the removal of a man's sperm from his partner's vagina.
In Conclusion
The typical curve upward penis is ideal for stimulating the G-spot in women and the prostate in a male. The sexual pleasure and reproductive benefits are all a part of why it is shaped. This is always why G-spot dildos and vibrators or prostate massagers are shaped with this curve in mind. It is the ideal shape.
