Fellatio Anatomy
The Penis
Given the amount of attention to this important body part, it is strange that there is so much myth, mystery and
misinformation about the penis. First off, there are no bones or muscles in the penis. In fact, the penis is made
up primarily of spongy tissue, which becomes engorged with blood during erection. Two or three inches of the penis
are rooted inside the body in the pubococcygeus muscle (PC muscle) and it is possible to strengthen this muscle
for stronger erections, stronger orgasms and better ejaculatory control.
The Testicles
Because normal body temperature is too hot for sperm production, testicles hang down, away from the body. As
ejaculation nears, the testicles are pulled toward the body. Sperm move through the vas deferens, a firm tube that
extendes from the testicles to the prostate gland, where they mix with secretions to form ejaculate. The sperm
are actually only a small part of the ejaculate.
The Prostate
The prostate is a gland that lies at the center of the pelvis and is highly sensitive to sexual stimulation. Some
authors have even called it the male G-spot. During erotic stumlation, the prostate becomes increasingly aroused.
The closer a man is to orgasm, the more sensitive the prostate is. About 1/3 of the ejaculate comes from the
prostate, so keeping the prostate healthy is very important (though examinations can be unpleasant). The prostate
can be stimulated externally or through the anus.
The Perineum
The perenium is the area between the base of the testicles and the anus. This area can be very sensitive to sexual
stimulation, especially during orgasm.
The Pubococcygeus (PC) Muscle
The PC muscle is actually a group of muscles that run from the pubic bone in front to the tailbone in the back. The
PC muscle is used every time he stops the flow of urine from his bladder. It is also the muscle that contracts
when he ejaculates, moving the semen up through the penis and out of the body.
The Anus
Due partly to it's proximity to the prostate gland and partly to its own high concentration of sensitive nerve
endings, the anus is a highly erogenous zone for many men (both gay and straight). Extra care must be taken while
sexually exploring this area, as it is rich with bacteria.
