 1. Mine of course
2. Think... Pringles can
3. Yup, although I hear if it lasts for more than 4 hours I should consult a physician.
4. Of course, well, unless he's snipped. They're on the base.
5. Yup, but I liked the description someone used earlier, Sausage cock. Kilbasa. ;)
6. His balls, choad, and anus.
7. A hood made of skin.
8. Judiasm and Islam require it. Religions have weird rules sometimes.
9. Yes, because it has to be.
Ok, as you can sense I'm being a bit of an ass here. The reason is two fold. First, the other aunts here did a great job answering your questions so far. Second, your answers would be easily found doing a web search or, heaven forbid, reading through a biology text book.
Maybe I'm alone here, but I started learning about male and female anatomy in the 3rd grade. That was when I became curious and looked it up in the encyclopedia. In 4th grade it was a part of the curriculum in class. It was covered every year in health class all the way into high school. Maybe my school was progressive, I don't know, but I didn't think it was that out of the ordinary.

 1.] What is the longest penis size ever documented?
Who knows? Longer than a foot for sure.
2.] Men usually talk about the lenght of their penis, but what about the width, what is the average width size?
Dunno really. a few inches?
3.] I heard that the penis stays erect the whole time during sex, and some people can have sex for hours, can it really stay up that long? Wouldnt it hurt?
Don't know too many guys who can keep it up for HOURS. I'd imagine it would start to chafe (for both people) and just kind of deflate. Plus he'd probably want to finish before it's been hours.
4.] Are the testicles actually attached to the penis, and if so, where at on the penis?
They're at the very base of the penis, attached by skin.
5.] Whenever a man gets hard,is it like rock solid?
Can be, there are varying stages of hardness and it depends on the guy.
6.] I know that on a man the penis is on the front,whereas us women have nothing there. But is there anything in between a mans legs?
Just sensitive skin.
7.] I also heard that the foreskin is on the head of the penis and some men get circumcised, what exactly does the foreskin look like, is it loose skin?
Kind of, it retracts when hard (you can't really see it when he's hard). When soft it just sort of covers the end.
8.] Also I heard that men can get circumcised due to religious purposes, what religious purposes are those?
The most common traditional one is in Jewish families. You can look this up on wikipedia. It's a long explanation.
9.] I also heard that the testicles have very soft/senstive skin, is this true? Why is that?
Yes, they're VERY sensitive. I'd assume it's that way because it's where every last bit of genetic material for procreation is stored, so they're sensitive so he'll protect them.

reader, anonymous, writes (5 August 2010): I'll also add that most men do NOT have erections merely looking at a beautiful woman. If that were the case, you'd see bulges on almost every guy in the mall, gym or at the beach. Spontaneous erections like that DO happen sometimes, and can even happen from daydreaming or fantasizing. A man will get an erection for a million different reasons, ranging from the mere thought of having sex, to having to have a lot of physical stimulation just to get hard. Even non-sexual excitement can get a guy hard. I had the funny experience once of getting hard at an airshow watching the Blue Angels fly. The penis is a funny, funny thing. Let me tell ya.

reader, anonymous, writes (5 August 2010): My answers:
1. Longest I've heard documented lately is 13 inches...some porn star named Jonah. I have heard rumors of human penises up to about 14 or 16. These are VERY VERY rare. I think like less than 1% of men have a penis over 7 inches, so 13 is like 1 in a million. 6 inches is average length, with 4-7 being a normal range.
2. Average width (circumference) is 5 inches. 4 to 6 is typical. Anything over 6 is getting very thick, and is usually uncomfortable or painful from what I'm told (I'm 5.5 - 6)
3. The penis usually stays fully erect during sex, and can last that way for many hours, although most men orgasm long before that. When a man orgasms, his penis goes limp for a period of a few minutes to several hours before he can become erect again. This is called the refractory period, and varies tremendously with age, virility, physical fitness, state of arousal and other factors. In some cases, like if a man is VERY aroused, he may not go limp at all after ejaculation. I would say this is uncommon...especially among more mature or older men. It is not unusual for a man to go partially limp or entirely limp before having an orgasm. This may be due to stress, medication, anxiety, erectile dysfunction or a medical condition. But even in healthy men, it is not uncommon for a man to go completely or partially limp briefly while changing positions or just engaging in other non-penetrative sex (caressing, cunnilingus, etc). Priapism is a condition where the penis will not go limp after ejaculation, and it can be very painful and even dangerous. That's why those Viagra ads say to see your doctor for erections lasting longer than 4 hours.
4. The testacles are attached via muscles, skin and tubes called vas deferentia, (through which the sperm passes) to areas around the penis...not sure exactly what they anchor to, but not entirely th epenis.
5. Firmness or erections can vary. Most men are probably about as firm as your wrist or forearm. The skin is a bit looser though. Some men are not as firm, but still firm enough for penetration. The skin on the head of the penis does not "slide" around like on the shaft.
6. THe anatomical equivalent of a penis on a woman is a clitoris. During fetal development, the labia are formed. If the fetus becomes a male, the labia "seal over" and become the scrotum in a male. So the clit and penis are equivalent, and the scrotum and labia are more or less equivalent. THere is nothing more there on a man. The space "between his legs" is the perineum, which is the fleshy area between his scrotum and anus.
7. Best analogy I've heard is it looks like an anteaters snout. Most uncircumcised guys show a bit of the head or a lot when they get erect. I only know this from porn. Some uncut guys look identical to cut (circumcised) guys when erect.
8. Most of the reasons revolve around cleanliness.
9. THe skin around th etesticles is actually a sack called the scrotum. I think this is very soft skin on most guys, but it is wrinkly sometimes and can feel rough from th eminute wrinkles on it.
I reccomend going to the sites already mentioned for more info.

By asking these questions I did not mean to sound ignorant about the human body [ male or female ]. I know that with sex comes more than physical attraction. I believe that having sex is a very beautiful thing when shared with the one you love. I also do not want to ask my father about this [ I do not ususally tend to sit down with my dad and ask questions about his balls! ] I would also like answers from some men [ I think they would know a bit about this topic.] I am being very serious by asking these questions and honestly didnt ask these questions to be silly or immature I also hope that other people will read this who have the same questions as I do on this topic. Thank you.

 1.] What is the longest penis size ever documented?
The official rank of the largest penis belongs to a man measured and documented by Dr. Robert Dickinson in the earlier part of the twentieth century. This record-holding penis was 13.5 inches in length and 6.25 inches in circumference. Several other studies from Alfred Kinsey, and other known scientists yielded impressive results, which ranged approximately from 9.5 to twelve inches.
2.] Men usually talk about the lenght of their penis, but what about the width, what is the average width size?
6.2 inches long, with the approximate circumference of 3.2 inches
3.] I heard that the penis stays erect the whole time during sex, and some people can have sex for hours, can it really stay up that long? Wouldnt it hurt?
Yes it usually does stay erect, typically it doesn’t hurt during sex but if it remains erect too long then it can become painful. It gets erect by blood flow so thinking about that, if blood it cut off for too long then it becomes painful.
4.] Are the testicles actually attached to the penis, and if so, where at on the penis?
The testicals are in the scrotum below the penis, they are not attached.
5.] Whenever a man gets hard,is it like rock solid?
It depends on the man, some are yes.
6.] I know that on a man the penis is on the front,whereas us women have nothing there. But is there anything in between a mans legs?
No, its more front penis and scrotum. You can find more information in the human biology section in your library.
7.] I also heard that the foreskin is on the head of the penis and some men get circumcised, what exactly does the foreskin look like, is it loose skin?
The foreskin is just loose skin that retracts over the head of the penis called the glands. Circumcised men have this skin removed exposing the glands for religious or medical reasons.
8.] Also I heard that men can get circumcised due to religious purposes, what religious purposes are those?
I don’t know you would need to research this. Certainly Jewish males are usually circuimsised as well as some African tribes.
9.] I also heard that the testicles have very soft/senstive skin, is this true? Why is that?
Yes they are sensitive, they are outside the body in the scrotum to regulate the temprature of the sperm which is created there, if a guy gets kicked down there than it can be extreamly painful and even cause loss of a testical. Some guys suffer testicular cancer later on in life.

 Also, if your having these kind of questions, please speak to your mum or dad.. they know you have questions about sex and been waiting a long time for you to bring the subject up so they can explain things properly..
They may not know all the answers, but they want to tell you what they know about sex, so you grow up strong and conident, with good morality and good understanding, so sex and love never become unpleasant to you..
Please go and speak to either your mum or dad about sex issues.. you won't shock them they know you have questions to ask and they have been waiting for this talk about the "bees and the birds".

Hi babes, welcome to dear cupid.. we will try to answer but we are not experts or encylopedia's, we are just normal people who want to help out..
1.] What is the longest penis size ever documented?
Don't know.. look in the library for the Guiness world records book, they will have the information there. Many of us at dear cupid look at pornography and we have recorded penises of 9inches and more.. But we don't really think size is important.. The aunts and uncles always emphasise that technique and a parnter who cares and is imaginative is the best lover you will ever have.
2.] Men usually talk about the lenght of their penis, but what about the width, what is the average width size?
Again don't know.. but have a look at this website if your interested in cocks and dicks.. http://www.the-penis.com/
We know, that average penis length is 6inches, but width is something that is not a common question, so few of us have bothered to get this information. Many aunts of dear cupid report that width is more important than length.
3.] I heard that the penis stays erect the whole time during sex, and some people can have sex for hours, can it really stay up that long? Wouldnt it hurt?
Men hurt more when you exite them to errection but don't give them a way to relieve it.. Have you heard about the "honeymoon period", it's when you first meet a guy, or indeed get married.. couples have been known to spend all week in bed having sex, and the penis dosen't get tired, although it's reported that the vagina does.
There are tricks and techniques to have sex over a prolonged period... usually when your in a new relationship you are able to have sex often and frequent and for long extended periods without getting sore or bored.
4.] Are the testicles actually attached to the penis, and if so, where at on the penis?
Again look at this website.. http://www.the-penis.com/
The penis and testicles are skin.. the balls (testicles) hang comfortably underneath a man's penis, through the skin.. It's difficult to explain, so please go to the website and examine the pictures.
5.] Whenever a man gets hard,is it like rock solid?
Not like a piece of iron or stone.. it's still a rod in a pile of skin.. the closest I can describe it is it feels and looks like a pig tail.. soft skin on the outside which moves, and a steel rod inside which can't be bent.
6.] I know that on a man the penis is on the front,whereas us women have nothing there. But is there anything in between a mans legs?
Confused question.. all people are born as women.. we all start of with small clitoruses and small breasts.. in women the breast develop bigger and the clitorus stays small.. men teats stay small but the clitorus keeps growing and get thicker and longer and bigger untill it forms a penis.. That's why women can still have pleasure and orgasms through their clit.. they have a tiny little penis..
You are ignorant of a man's body (as well as the female one) please take a look at the website I suggested.. The female version to learn about your own body can be found here... http://www.the-clitoris.com
7.] I also heard that the foreskin is on the head of the penis and some men get circumcised, what exactly does the foreskin look like, is it loose skin?
Yes it's loose skin.. when the man gets errect the loose skin shrivels back and the head of the penis is seen.. Men who have circumscisions do not have this loose skin, therefore the head of the penis is seen all the time and is never hidden.
9.] I also heard that the testicles have very soft/senstive skin, is this true? Why is that?
You have the penis, a long pole, mostly filled with blood and muscle.. it goes up and gets iron stiff when the man is excited, otherwise most of the time the penis is limp and it hangs it's head down.. either side of the penis is two sacks (balls, testicles) these are very soft, and feel like balls filled with thousands of small thngs.. this contains the sperm, the sperm which makes girls pregnant, and contributes half or our own personal DNA..
Strong stick in middle, two soft sacks filled with squishy squashy sperm.. in the middle, is a soft spot which leads to the anus (Where men shit)
I've given you the necessary links to look and understand yourself.. it's too hard to describe.. after looking at your age, these web sites may be too old for you, but you askd for information in a sensible adult way, so I have supplied you.. please read the information on penises, and the vagina, and you will find out all you need to know about the biology of humans.. However, sex is more than biology or penis... it also brings strange emotions and pyschological issues, these are the reasons we asks you to wait for sex untill your emotions, psychologically and experience of the world is much more experienced and adult..
Sex is more than just the techniques of penis, vagina and sticking it in..
8.] Also I heard that men can get circumcised due to religious purposes, what religious purposes are those?
Jews and some muslims circumscise.. they are carrying out ancient traditions when they lived in the dessert without water to wash in, and therefore it was more hygenic to remove the foreskin. Men have to clean the foreskin carefully, it's easy to trap bacteria under this loose skin.
9.] I also heard that the testicles have very soft/senstive skin, is this true? Why is that?
Same question again.. because the hold a million sperm, which need soft treatment and a properly controlled temperature.. at orgasm a man relases millions of them.. one of these will hit the target of a woman's egg and will go on to make a baby.. ha;f mum and half dad.. the rest of the millions of sperm a man releases will die, fall out of the woman's body and end up on her knickers and bedsheets..
Why are men and women built like this.. I really don't know.. most animals are built the same way as men and women.. they have soft places or puches, or teats, that release eggs or sperm and allows them to be fertalised by the opposite member of sex and make a baby... Even plants are like this.. plants have a soft centre, the bee is hard.. together the work and destribute the seed which makes more plants..
This is the way things work... The question of why is a religous question and you need to find a holy man and find out why he thinks the world is the way it is..
I hope this has helped clear up some of your confusion, and I'm sorry my material is adult, but you want to see why men are built the way they are, and the best way to see that is to see men naked.

Perhaps if no one can answer your questions in full, you could go to the public library and look at some non-fiction books about human anatomy; they should provide you with some information on this subject.

 Hi Curious, good questions. Hope we all can help.
1) Longest penis documented that I know of 13 Inches, which belongs to a porn star.
2) The average width could be between 3 to 5 inches.
3) Yes true. In most cases the penis stay hard until ejaculation, then it begins to go soft. Think of the penis like a balloon. When a guy gets excited, the blood fills up very small muscle tissues like air filling up a balloon. As you would close the end of the balloon to stop the air from leaving to keep it firm, or blown up. The same idea happens in the penis. Blood is allowed in quickly, to make it hard, and allowed to leave slowly. But true...If we stay hard for a long period of time, it will start to hurt. This however, does not happen normally.
4)The testicles are contected to the penis by skin, not an actual part of the penis. Like a woman's breast being attached to her chest, but not to each other. There is a tube that contects the testicles to the penis which allows sperm to come out the penis, like a woman's milk.
5)Rock hard is only a figure of speak. The penis is more muscle than stone. Like a cock sausage.
6)Well, some women will say that a man's brain is between his legs. Sometimes even I have to wonder..LOL. Apart from his testicles, which the closes but not exactly between, there is not much else.
7)The foreskin of a man is pretty much the same as the foreskin of a woman, which you call your labia, or lips. It's loose or extra skin which protects the head of the penis.
8)Some religion believe that being circumcised is cleaner. Not so. If you were to cut off your labia or lips on your vagina, do you think it would stop germs from getting to you? Most of all, if GOD did not want it there, he would not have made us with it.
9)Yes that is true. The skin on the testicles very sensitive. Heat is a major factor for sperm. Too hot, and they die, may not develop well, and can also lead to more serious health problems. The thin, soft skin, helps us by regulating the heat on our testicles as we wear clothes. They have a ton of nerves which are very sensitive to pain. Which makes most guys protect them at all cost. No sperm, no fertilize eggs, no pregnant women, no people being born.
Hope this helps some.

Hello there! My suggestion if it was me asking those questions, would be to google it.
I suggest as a search try:-
information on male genitals
This will probably bring up many web pages, among which you will certainly find a lot of very useful information. It will also probably answer most or all of your questions.
If some of your questions are not answered with the first search, try being more specific to get the exact information you want. You will definitely find it all on the web I'm sure.
The web as you are probably aware, is an excellent source of information. A virtual encyclopaedia.
Best wishes.
