Document Summary
Men"s reproductive anatomy is simpler than women"s and because their sex organs are visible on the outside of their body they are cause of a lot of anxiety. The male external genitalia are the penis and scrotum: Penis: the erectile, erotically sensitive organ in males; its functions include sexual pleasure, delivery of semen, and urination. Reproductively the penis is equivalent to the clitoris (in a functional sense, the penis corresponds to the clitoris, urethra, and vagina) Uncircumcised penis" have three visible portions: a shaft, a glans (head), and a foreskin. Scrotum: the sac behind the penis that contains the testicles. Testicles or testis: indirectly visible through the sac but part of the internal male reproductive system. The male gonads: one of the two glands within the scrotum that produce sperm and secrete sex hormones. Glans: the terminal knob of the clitoris or the penis.
