The "'penis" is the male organ of copulation, attached to the groin, homologous with the [about=clitoris]clitoris[/about]. It is also the male organ of urinary excretion.
The penis is designed for insertion into the [about=vagina]vagina[/about] and nature's intention for copulation is reproduction. As such, measures such as the wearing of [about=condoms]condoms[/about] are necessary to avoid pregnancy.
Because it typically has a man's most excitable erogenous zone, it is an area concentrated on by both him and his sexual partner.
When a male is [about=sexual arousal]sexually aroused[/about], the three areas of erectile tissue will usually fill with blood and his penis will expand and stiffen. The penis will often move more upward than in the flaccid (non-erected) state, but the angle varies between males and is no indication of the height of arousal. (A penis can also become erect without the man being aroused.)
The primary [about=body modification]body modification[/about] made to the penis is [about=circumcision]circumcision[/about]; during this process, the foreskin is cut away such that the head of the penis is always exposed. A far less common, but popular enough in [about=BDSM]BDSM[/about] and sexually-interested cultures, is [about=piercing]piercing[/about] of the head of the penis for insertion of a bar or ring.
Because penises vary in size, it is important when buying any [about=:Category:Sex Toys]device or toy[/about] that fits onto the penis to ensure that it will fit without damage. Some toys can do a great deal of harm or, at the least, cause unintentional embarrassment. http://english.pravda.ru/fun/2002/06/20/30796.html
