The fact that an erection can occur in as little as 5 to 10 seconds is one of the most impressive physiological responses in the human body! What piece of anatomical or hormonal information did you find the most surprising? Let me know in the comments below! 馃憞

I was about 27 when I started gaining weight and had a really low sex drive. Nightly erections noticeably decreased in frequency or didn鈥檛 appear to occur at all (far as I could tell). I was REALLY worried that I was experiencing permanent low T. Considered TRT for a while, but then I started looking for the root of the problem. Lowered my alcohol and sugar intake, focused on trying to improve sleep quality and manage stress levels, and began going to the gym regularly. Proud to say I have the opposite problem now. 馃槀

When you wake up in the middle of the night even from the weirdest nightmare, then would like to go to the toilet, but can't for like 5 minutes because little guy is big guy and doesn't want to calm down whatever you do 馃槶

If you were in the military and had to wake guys up for the mid night watch you may come across a tent post every now and then.

Interesting. The most disturbing part was the fruit and vegetable clips.

I can only imagine the search results on Google for this video. From "growing vegetables" to "growing fungi" and even "inflating toys"

Thank you for bringing female anatomy to the conversation. I assumed we had a similar function but it was nice to hear from you!
