PENIS & SEX

• In proportion to overall body mass, the human penis is thicker and longer than any other primate.

• 75% of men reach orgasm after 2 minutes of stimulation.

• About 3% of men suffer from delayed ejaculation. This is the opposite of premature ejaculation  (lasting less than 2 minutes) where it would take over 45 minutes for a man to ejaculate.  Often a man with this condition can only ejaculate during masturbation.

 

BOYS
