We have all seen posts of men not understanding women's anatomy. How have you experienced this the other way?

For instance, My wife confidently told me that men who jerk off a lot actually stretch the skin of their penises permanently. If that were the case, mine would be looped around my waist.

Yes, I am aware of Jelqing, it doesn't work. That is not what she was referencing.

At least in the United States, there is a ton of misinformation about circumcision. Long story short, it's routinely done to infant boys, and is commonly thought to be healthier. In truth, there is little to no evidence of any medical benefits from circumcision.

Even further, many doctors, including pediatricians, aren't taught proper care for foreskins. A classic example is that in young boys the foreskin is fused to the head of the penis. It loosens as they get older, and usually is retractable around puberty. It's important not to forcibly retract the foreskin until this happens, or it can cause complications, including phimosis. Many pediatricians don't know this, and will retract the foreskin during a checkup, or will give the parents bad advice and tell them to clean under the foreskin during bath time.

This is the one that is so very delicate and depends on genetics and individual development a lot.

Lack of prepuce motility can also lead to phimosis. And lack of hygiene can also make the foreskin a locus of infection. It is not like a vagina that can stay clean and discharges on their own. Any debris or substance that lodges under the prepuce can cause infection so you do have to keep it clean. This is particularly problematic with diaper use that concentrates humidity for too long in genital area. Also, some kids make it to puberty with a fused prepuce and have to have it manually and painfully mechanically separated. While gentle normal washing rub during showers usually helps with the gradual and natural separation.

Like a lot of things in human health, it's not that black and white. Fuck circumsicion for aesthetic reasons though, that's genital mutilation, amounts to child abuse and I have seen too many families lose babies to circumcision related complications.

Yes, we can pee with an erection, the two things are not mutually exclusive.

[-] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

That actually depends; it's incredibly difficult for some people.

Part of it depends which muscles you use: if you're used to pushing with your abdominal muscles, it can cut off the flow.

For those of us with an upward curve it’s a royal pain in the ass to pee that way. Can’t do it standing and sitting you still have to push it at an angle that hurts.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 16 points 9 months ago

I thought a hard downwards looping back curve would be a pain the in the arse

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Gives new meaning to “go fuck yourself”

Next time you're in that situation, try kneeling on one knee and leaning forward and a little to the side.

Let's you get enough of a downward angle to hit the back of the bowl instead of like, the wall at eye height.
Still a little bending needed, but not enough to hurt, just silly feeling.

You gotta get one knee on the ground, and get your other foot up on the sink.

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You're complicating it too much man, you just gotta do a hand stand and it'll all work itself out lol

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Sometimes it mixes with the jizz. Like how toothpaste has the two different gels mixed in.

[-] gloriousspearfish@feddit.dk 11 points 9 months ago

And it feels soo god damn nice to get the last jizz out with the pee.

[-] Old_Jimmy_Twodicks@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago

It also has the same tooth-whitening benefits and minty flavor.

Speak for yourself.

I saw some bad men's anatomy on Twitter today (I know, I know) that claimed that men don't have breast tissue. No only is that not true, but men can even get breast cancer.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 8 points 9 months ago

I have several times experienced women (non-penis-havers) giving definitive statements of how circumcision affects a man's experience of sex. It was especially ironic because they were telling me that my (circumcised penis-haver's) experience was wrong.

[-] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

There is a small amount of truth to what she said- People with Phimosis can sometimes gradually expand their foreskin through masturbation/stretching enough to accomodate their glans, and this can be a permanent fix. Barring very that specific circumstance, I don't think I've ever heard of permanent stretching of dickskin, ever. Theoretically you could, but not with the forces exerted by normal masturbation habits.

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

What about abnormal masturbation habits? I rarely take the impact driver above a 3.

Nah that's probably ok, I personally never let the air gauge pass 42 psi, but everyone's different.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

it doesn't work

Yes, I have experienced bad men's anatomy.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Holy shit, I forgot about jelqing. I haven't heard that since jackinworld.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

My current partner was absolutely shocked the first time my penis just started moving on its own in a flaccid state. She didn't know it (and the testicles) will just start moving completely on their own.
