45 Fascinating Things Men Shared About Their Bodies For Women To Know

In general male skin is thicker, oilier and ages differently. Male skin is, on average, approximately 20% thicker than female skin. It contains more collagen and has a tighter, firmer appearance.

It shrinks. Like a frightened turtle. It just does.

We don't have nearly as much control over our erections as you seem to think.

If you’re just laying there, you can watch as your testicles move and your sack expands and contracts as it tries to regulate its temperature. This is exaggerated if you had a procedure like a vasectomy and there’s swelling and such. It’s wild.

My wife used to be so mesmerized at this. It like never seems to stop

Often times, a glancing blow off the ballbag is way more painful than a full on kick to the jimmies.

Men can actually lactate under extreme conditions.

After the birth of your child, a man's testosterone will drop.

Basically nature's way of ensuring your rage and anger calms down. It will normally increase after a while but not always.

Women often think they know this, but many (especially younger) women don't really understand just how much stronger the average man is compared to the average woman. Yes, there are exceptions and edge cases, but by and large, if you pluck a man and a woman from a crowd, the man will be significantly stronger than the woman.

Even if the stream comes out straight as an arrow, sometimes it will randomly just split into 2 streams or veer off in another direction.

And sometimes you get the sprinkler head where it just comes out every which a way.

Males have a hormonal cycle just like females.

I think almost everyone knows the female hormonal cycle: her period. Its course is a month. The male hormonal cycle takes the course of a single day (every day).

Testosterone levels are at their highest in the morning (think morning wood) and gradually/slightly depreciate throughout the day. At night, test levels are at their lowest, which is why most men start to have negative thoughts around that time. Nothing beats the 2AM existential dread.

Testosterone levels tend to vary throughout the day being the highest in the morning. It's not just morning wood, men are "in the mood" more naturally in the mornings.

Men can't differentiate colors as well as women. Two different shades of green to a woman might just be "green" to a man. Lower number of cones in the eyes or something.

Just because it's up doesn't mean we want to do it. But hey if it gets you in the mood and you want to do it, maybe we want to do it too!

Pregnancy tests can be a rudimentary/unsophisticated way to check for testicular cancer. If a man [urinates] on a pregnancy test and it shows a positive result, that man should get checked out by a doctor. It's not a failproof thing, but it's not entirely untrue either.

The older I get, more noises come from inside.

1 in 3 men experience male pattern baldness.

RaptorHunter182:

It's me. I shaved my head at 17 because I started balding at 15 and couldn't take it anymore. Now I'm 19 (almost 20) and still bald have a beard XD
I was mistaken for teachers when I was in high school.

We do not "drain our [testicles]" when we ejaculate, we drain our prostate. Testicles are little factories.

The reason it hurts so much when our testicles are hit is because when we are developing in the womb the testicles descend from where the ovaries would be and drag with them neural connections: that's why a kick in the testicles fills very similar to a kick in the stomach. Similarly, when descending they take muscle tissue from our abs, so if you run your fingers with some force through your lower abs you can make your testicles retract.

Apparently the reason we get erect sleeping or when waking up is because during sleep our testosterone levels fluctuate in a pretty big way.

The center of gravity of the male body is around the chest, whereas the female body's is on the hips.

The path that your testicles take while descending into the scrotum sometimes doesn't close and your intestines can herniate into the scrotum. Med school is fun for fun facts.

Men can undergo hormonal changes when their wife is pregnant and giving birth.
