Although many sex articles seem to put too great an emphasis on the basic plumbing of sex, it helps to understand at least a little of the basic anatomy (structure) and physiology (working) of the sex organs, if only because so many men, women and adolescents worry so much about things that really need cause them no concern at all.
The male sex organs-A man’s sex organs seem at first sight to be rather simple, lying as they do mostly outside the body where they can be seen and handled. This is an advantage to boys who can easily see how they are made and do not have any concern about what is inside them in the way women do.
Basically a man’s sex organs consist of his penis and his scrotum, which is a bag hanging from below the penis containing the testes that produce sperms and male hormones. These emerge from a mound of pubic hair that extends up to the navel. There are ‘hidden’ parts of the sexual anatomy — the prostate gland, for instance, which lies deep in the pelvis — but most men are not even aware that they have such a gland unless it begins to give trouble in old age.
