It’s easy to assume you know everything about ‘em
They go up when you’re at a strip club, they go down (we hope)
When you’re at grandma’s house…
What else is there to learn?
========================
1. The word “penis” comes from the Latin word for “tail”
Consider that the next time you brag to your friends about
scoring some “primo tail.”
==============================
2. Priapism (prolonged erection) is named after always-hard Greek god Priapus
The ladies considered him a god, anyway.
==============================
3. Out of all primates, Homo sapien has the largest penis
So much for “great” apes. Ha! Ha!
Losers.
==============================
4. The fear of thinking about or having a boner is called “ithyphallophobia”
The gym shower can be a terrifying
place.
==============================
5. The Komodo dragon has two penises
So basically, it can have threesomes with just
one partner?
==============================
6. William Shakespeare referred to an erection as “the dart of love”
In the play “Measure for Measure,” naturally.
==============================
7. Male fetuses can have erections during the last trimester

Do not–we repeat, DO NOT–consider the Freudian
implications.
==============================
8. The Brazilian wandering spider’s venom causes a boner that lasts for hours
Not the worst way to die.
==============================
9. It’s nearly impossible to achieve an erection in weightless conditions
==============================
10. A man sued BMW because his motorcycle gave him a boner
==============================
11. A sustained erection is one of the most common symptoms of rabies in men
If you foam at the mouth while watching porn, call an
ambulance.
==============================
12. George W. Bush’s nickname for Rep. John Boehner was “Boner”
Where
isn’t this dude orange? (Don’t answer that.)
==============================
13. The town of Boner Knob, Montana is located in Beaverhead County
==============================
14. Men executed by hanging often sustain erections at the time of death
So that’s
where some freak originally got the idea for auto-erotic asphyxiation…
==============================
15. You can accidentally fracture an erection during sex
Just
ask MMA competitor Ray Elbe. (It produces a loud cracking sound. The sound
that follows is inaudible, since only dogs can hear a scream at that pitch.)
==============================
16. A drone bee’s erection snaps off during sex with the queen
Bees:
They’re just like us! (Well, they’re just like Ray Elbe, anyway.)
==============================
17. Viagra was originally a failed heart medication
Until
middle-aged guys noticed a pretty cool side effect.
==============================
18. Viagra can also (kinda) give flowers a boner
==============================
19. Ginseng has been proven to help erectile dysfunction
In one study
at least. (Also proven to help: strippers named Ginseng.)
20. On average, men sustain an erection for 90 minutes while they sleep
It’s called “multi-tasking.”
==============================
21. The average boner produces the same pressure as a boa constrictor’s grip
Same pressure, different kind of snake.
