The Package Myth: When Blokes Obsess Over Hardware – Part 4 – Team Operations.

What makes this contraption work? Well, the Operations Team, of course. The Operations Team live a pretty simple, relaxed life for the majority of the time—until they're called to the shop floor by Management, after which it's all hands on deck and a flurry of activity. Once there's a green light for 'GO' and the prospect of intercourse, a number of things happen quasi-simultaneously that end with an erect penis and a package of semen ready to travel through it to its destina

The Package Myth: When Blokes Obsess Over Hardware – Part 3 – The Infrastructure

So how is this feat of biological engineering made? Infrastructure, Cargo, Management Team Infrastructure The Outside Team is made up of the penis and the scrotal sac that holds the two testes. The Inside Team is rather more complex, but when you put it all together it makes perfect sense—nature excels at this sort of thing. A cross-section of the penis reveals three parallel tissue structures, rather alarmingly named 'corpus cavernosa' and 'corpus spongiosum', which really j

The Package Myth: When Blokes Obsess Over Hardware – Part 2 – The Myths

Since knowledge is power, let's get to know the male reproductive organ a little more…intimately, shall we? Time to debunk a few myths that refuse to die. Myth 1: There's a bone in the penis Believe it or not, in this day and age some people still reckon there's an actual bone in there contributing to erections. It doesn't help that we enthusiastically throw around the word 'boner' every time the penis stands to attention, and the tension and contraction felt in the groin cou

The Package Myth: When Blokes Obsess Over Hardware – Part 1

Well, this section would have to be split into parts, right? Such is the depth and breadth of the single most important organ in male anatomy, according to every man. Yep, I'm referring to a man's brain... what were you  thinking? The brain is the main driver when it comes to penis behaviour, which—surprisingly—is not the steel rod always ready for action that the world of fantasy has led men and women to believe. To be fair, the external male genitalia has always been repres

How about a little interior design?

Have you ever wondered how you can be happily going about your day feeling relaxed and playful, and within a split second your thoughts and emotions shift in a totally different direction without a clear understanding of how you got there? How did you move from one emotional space to another, and which route did it take you through? More interestingly: how do you move to a place where sex feels exciting and something to look forward to? What triggers the jump from 'this is ni

Spontaneous Sex: Like Firing Up the Grill When Your Mates Are Already at the Door

Spontaneous sex gets hyped like it's the sexual Olympics—but science says the planned stuff can be just as hot, if not hotter. The "real men just pounce" myth? Nah!! Back in your teens and early twenties, your hormones were basically a car alarm going off 24/7—ready to go at the slightest breeze. That so-called "spontaneous" sex was really just your biology ready to hump the sofa. But grown-up sex? That needs a bit more strategy than just showing up. The Myth: Always Ready, A

Real men are always ready for sex

If one is to take bodice ripping page turners and social media as scientific evidence, then every man is in the midst of a sex frenzy, or he is thinking about it, or he is recovering from glorious sex, rearing to go at it again. If this were true, one might wonder how all these men manage to get through a full day of work, commute, family, friends, sport and all other commitments when their mind's only focus is sex and the glorious Commander stands rigid and ready to fire 24/
