How much do you know about the penis? You may think you already know everything there is to know, but you probably don’t. That’s why today’s episode is going to dive into what you don’t know about the penis. Some of the topics we’re going to cover include the immense variability that exists in penile sensitivity and sensation, as well as what we know about multiple orgasms in men.

My guest today is Melissa Hadley Barrett. Melissa is a nurse practitioner and sexologist, and the founder of Restorative Sexual Health Clinic and Restore Men’s Intimate Health. She is also co-founder of The Penis Project Podcast.

Some of the questions we explore in this episode include:

What is the average penis size?
Why is flaccid penis size not necessarily a reliable predictor of erect size?
If there aren’t any bones in the penis, can you still break or fracture an erection?
What are the benefits of using vibrators for men’s sexual health and function?
How common is it for men to experience erectile dysfunction?

You can check out Melissa’s website and YouTube channel to learn more.
