Stats
by Al Link
The next time you’re at a party and there’s a lull in the conversation
rather than trying to fill the gap with your knowledge of sports statistics,
sitcom trivia or movie tidbits wow your listeners with this amazing
array of info on everyone’s favourite subject: SEX!
Penis Size
There’s a great variety in the size of flaccid penises, but there’s
less difference when they’re hard because smaller penises enlarge more
during erection. The average length for a fully erect penis is 15 cm
(about 5 ¾”). Ninety percent of men’s pleasure poles measure between
13 and 18 cm (5 - 7”). Records for the shortest and longest fully functional
penis are a tiny 1.5 cm and a whopping 30 cm! If you feel the need to
see how you measure up first get an erection then, while standing, angle
your penis straight out from your body. Extend a ruler from your pubic
bone just above the base of your penis out to its tip and count the
inches.
Helping Him Grow
Because there are no muscles in the penis that affect size, exercise
doesn’t do anything to make your penis bigger. There are techniques
for enlargement but they involve serious surgery and can have very unpleasant
side effects or complications. No matter what the advertisements say
no creams or ointments will help him grow at all
Shape
Concerned about the way your equipment stands? There’s no need to be,
25% of all penises bend in some direction. Even when erect some bend
downward.
Sperm Production
Several hundred million sperm are produced daily by a healthy, fertile
man. On ejaculation between 5 to 15 ml (1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon)
of semen is released, containing about 300 million sperm.
Ejaculation Spasms
When a man climaxes the muscles at the base of his penis contract approximately
every 0.8 seconds, expelling semen in up to 5 exquisite spurts.
The Male ‘G-spot’
In addition to their penises men have other highly erotic parts of their
bodies. One is the male ‘g-spot’ or more accurately ‘p-spot’ - for prostate
gland. Stimulation of this spot, either externally through the perineum,
the skin between your anus and testicles, or internally through the
anus can result in extremely pleasurable sensation, including orgasm.
Blue Balls
The medical term for blue balls is epididymitis, an inflammation of
the epididymis, which is in the scrotal sac and where sperm mature.
In simple terms blue balls occurs when the epididymis get blocked up
with sperm that have left the testis but not the penis. The vas deferns
are the conduit for the sperm from the testis to the urethra. When they
get blocked you get pain. You can usually relieve this by ejaculating.
The Honey Pot
Women’s vaginas average between 8 - 10 cm in length, about 3 - 4 inches.
This expands during intercourse. Including her clitoris, vaginal lips
and internal spongy tissue a woman has just about as much erectile tissue
as a man, but most of it is inside her body.
Women and Orgasm
At least 70% of women don’t reach an orgasmic climax through intercourse
alone, so remember to pay lots of loving attention to her most sensitive
genital spot - the clitoris.
Female Ejaculation
During stimulation of the ‘G-spot’, a small area on the upper inside
of the vaginal wall about 1 ½ to 2 inches back from the vaginal opening,
some women ejaculate through the urethra. One to two ounces of clear,
odourless fluid are expelled in a glorious gush.
Baby Making
At birth a woman’s ovaries contain up to 2 million immature eggs. After
the onset of menstruation 1 egg matures every month and is released
into the vagina just waiting for those millions of sperm to come fertilize
it! Sperm can survive in the vagina for 3 to 5 days.
Anal Sex and Pregnancy
Because sperm can’t travel internally from the rectum to the vagina,
technically it’s not possible to become pregnant through anal sex. But
beware, after intercourse semen can leak from the anus and drip down
to the vagina resulting in ‘splash’ conception. Of those who use anal
sex for birth control, every year 8% end up pregnant!
Bodacious Breasts
Small, large, round, pointy, no matter what their shape, men just seem
to love women’s breasts. Mammaries are as diverse as the women they
sit so prettily on, but here’s some general guidelines:
• It’s perfectly normal for a woman to have breasts that are different
sizes, just as her hands and feet differ slightly in size.
• When a woman is aroused her breasts swell by up to 25% and her nipples
may become very hard.
• Many women have hair around their nipples.
• About 10 percent of women have inverted nipples.
• Breasts are mostly fatty tissue which isn’t very sensitive to caresses
and kisses. However, because the nipple itself and the area surrounding
it (the areola) are full of nerve endings they’re very sensitive to
touch.
• Men also have many sensitive nerve endings in their nipples and can
become very excited by nipple kisses, sucks and twirls.
How Often?
According to surveys by condom company Durex, the worldwide average
for making love is 106 times per year. Canadians fit right in with the
‘norm’, hitting the sheets at an annual rate of 105 times or about twice
a week. That puts them behind the French - 141, Americans - 138, Russians
- 131, Australians, Brits and Germans - all at 112, and the South Africans
and Poles - 109. But ahead of Mexico - 102, Italy - 92, Spain - 82,
Thailand - 80 and Hong Kong - 57. Every day lovemaking occurs about
120 million times around the world, resulting in 910,000 pregnancies.
Saturday night is the favourite time for Canadians to have sex and most
North Americans do it at 10:34 pm.
How Long?
What Canadians lack in frequency they make up in stamina. With
an average lovemaking time of 22.7 minutes they place second behind
the Americans who carry on for 28.1 minutes. Of that time thrusting
intercourse lasts between 6 to 10 minutes.For most Canadian couples
foreplay lasts an average of 12 minutes
All By Yourself
95% of men masturbate, compared to 70% of women.
First Time Sex
Young Canadians start having sex slightly earlier than most. While the
global average at which sexually active 16-21 year olds first had sex
is 15.9 years, Canadians jumped in at an even 15 years.
First Time Satisfaction
While we might be starting younger we may be enjoying it less. 37% of
young Canadians indicate that first time sex was more disappointing
than they expected while only 19% indicated it was much better than
they’d hoped.
First Time Protection
74% of young lovers used some form of contraception the first time they
had sex. While 58% used condoms and 16% used other methods a much too
large 26% didn’t use any type of protection!
Was it Good for You?
On the whole young Canadians are fairly generous lovers, with 64% of
women and 65% of men putting their partner’s sexual satisfaction before
their own.
Sexual Fears
Not surprisingly the top two fears related to sexual activity for young
couples are fear of unwanted pregnancy - 21% and fear of contracting
HIV or other STDs - 44%. But despite these concerns more than one third
say that fear of HIV has not changed their sex life.
Sexual Dysfunction
More than 40 percent of women and 30 percent of men suffer from some
type of sexual difficulty such as no interest in sex, inability to achieve
orgasm, painful intercourse, or premature ejaculation.
Premature Ejaculation
About 25% of men come before they want to, or before their partners
want them to. For men under 40 premature ejaculation is the most common
sexual problem. The good news is that by strengthening their genital
muscles with Kegel exercises and by practicing building up to a climax
through masturbation and then stopping to rest and building up again
and stopping to rest and building up again and so on… most men can learn
to last much longer!
