Penis
A penis is what boys have. It's part of the genitals for the boy and is located on the lower abdomen (below the belly) roughly between the legs. A penis is a roughly cylindrical object with a purple head called a glans. It has a tube travelling through it to the end called a urethra?. Pee and semen travel through the urethra.
A penis is used for peeing and for sex. When used for sex, at first sexual arousal causes the penis to become erect. Then it can be inserted into the vagina, which is the normal kind of sex. At orgasm a man? releases his semen (usually filled with sperm) through and out the end of his penis.
There are all different shapes and sizes of penises and none of them are bad or wrong to have. The average size for adults is from 5 to 7 inches and some curvature to the left or the right or up or down is normal.
There's a lot of talk and anxiety about penis size and how a larger one is desirable and a smaller one isn't. I assume a lot of this is driven by pornography, and porn is not sex education. Dr. Ruth says that size doesn't matter. And even if it does, there's nothing you can do about it. Whatever you do, do not take scissors anywhere near your penis to make it bigger.
One more thing is that a penis that looks smaller when it's not erect will get a lot larger when erect. This is because the penis is made of elastic tissue and the smaller it is un-erect the larger it will be erect. "I'm a grower, not a shower." as some people say.
