    Penis size has no direct relationship to either the ability to reproduce or give sexual satisfaction.
  • Two-thirds of a man’s sexual system is inside his body, not on the outside.
  • Each testis has about 250 separate chambers.
  • Each sperm takes between 60 and 72 days to develop.
  • Sperm production occurs only at about four degrees below normal body temperature. A higher temperature not only prevents sperm production, but kills sperm in storage.
  • Between 150 and 400 million sperm are ejaculated on orgasm.
  • Most men require a rest period between orgasms – this can last anything from a few minutes to a few weeks.
  • During orgasm, a man’s heartbeat and breathing rate can increase to as much as 2,5 times their normal levels.
