A Nuts and Bolts Guide to the Routine Care of the Penis &
Scrotum
Penis
Specs and Dimensions
The penis is a tubular organ of variable size and firmness with a
dual purpose of passing urine or, during sexual intercourse,
penetrating a vagina or other opening.
When soft, the adult penis hangs down and most are about 3 to 4
inches long.
When hard (erect) the penis points out or at an upward angle and
increases in size to about 5 to 7 inches long. The size of a soft
penis does not indicate the size of a hard one, since the smaller
one usually increases proportionally more than the larger one. In
old age, the penis usually decreases in size.
The nerve and hydraulic system that causes erections, remains on
automatic during sleep and a normal healthy penis becomes erect
about every 90 minutes.
Model Variations
The standard penis is designed with a loose retractable skin
covering the head.
Some models have been customized by Circumcision, or cutting away
this foreskin to expose the head. Both the standard and circumcised
models are equally suited to their sexual function.
Troubleshooting
Priapism - when the hydraulics in the penis fail to drain, it will
remain erect. This malfunction requires the service of a medical
doctor in less than 4 hours to avoid serious damage to the
penis.
Phimosis - if the foreskin will not retract over the head of the
penis, it can cause hygiene problems and needs service by a medical
doctor.
Paraphimosis - if the foreskin slides behind the head but will not
return to its normal position it can cut off circulation to the
head and needs to be repaired by a medical doctor.
Leaks, No Flow, Surface Defects - the penis should be taken in for
a checkup if there are any sores, blisters or rashes on or around
it, and if it is difficult, irritating or painful to urinate, or if
there is a discharge leaking from it.
Preventive Maintenance
While the original design of the penis with foreskin has the
advantage of protecting the sensitive head, it does require
additional cleaning procedures.
An oily smelly substance called Smegma tends to accumulate under
the foreskin. This needs periodic cleaning by sliding the foreskin
back while bathing and washing away the accumulated smegma before
it builds up and becomes irritating.
Scrotum
Specs and Dimensions
The scrotum is a sac of loose skin that hangs under the penis and
houses the two Testicles outside of the body. It is a
temperature-regulating device that keeps the testicles slightly
cooler than the normal body temperature by the evaporation of sweat
and by becoming tighter or looser in response to temperature, which
moves the testicles closer to or farther away from the body.
The scrotum is divided into two compartments, each with a testicle,
the egg shaped organ that produces Sperm. Since the testicles are
sensitive to pressure and are in a constricted area between the
legs, the left one usually hangs lower than the right one.
Troubleshooting
Cryptorchidism - both testicles should be in the scrotal sac. If
they cannot be located there after a hot bath, they may not have
descended from inside the abdomen. This malfunction requires
service by a medical doctor.
Hernia - there is often a weak spot in the abdomen where the testes
descend into the scrotum. A hernia is a malfunction when a part of
the intestine pushes thru this weak spot and hangs in the scrotal
sac. This requires service by a medical doctor.
Torsion is a malfunction when the testicle rotates and the
spermatic cord and blood vessels get twisted, cutting off
circulation. This painful condition requires emergency services of
a doctor to prevent gangrene.
Testicular Cancer is one of the most common cancers in men between
the ages of 15 and 35. Unlike other problems with the testes, there
may be no pain or symptoms with cancer.
Preventive Maintenance
Monthly Testicular Self-Examinations (TSE) are the best way to
detect cancer early, so that it can have a better chance of
treatment.
After a warm bath, when the scrotal skin is loose, roll each
testicle between the thumb and forefinger of both hands. The
testicles should be firm and smooth, with no hard lumps.
If any lumps are felt, take the testicle to a medical doctor for
further tests to see if it is cancer or not. If detected early,
testicular cancer has a high cure rate and usually does not affect
fertility.
Protective Accessories
To protect the penis from sexually transmitted diseases, Latex
Condoms are recommended for those having sexual encounters with
multiple partners or when the partner's safe sexual history or drug
use history is not known.
