Just like every part of the body, the manhood is unique. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, and can be the source of either a man's pride or his embarrassment. While many men everywhere feel some degree of angst over their shape and size, it is important to know what is normal and healthy, and what is not. With good nutrition, male organ specific vitamins, regular washing, and good self-care, a male organ should remain healthy and functional throughout a man's life. Size Over the years different studies have concluded different findings when investigating the size of the average male erect member. According to The Kinsey Institute, the average male erect organ is anywhere from 5" to 6.5" in length and 4" to 5" in width circumference. Neither foot size, hand size or flaccid size is directly related to the eventual size of the hard member. Throughout puberty the male organ continues to grow in size, until the age of 20. For men who wish to increase the size of their organ, there is no way of doing so except for surgical procedures. While cosmetic surgery on shape and size has improved significantly over the years, at least one study published in European Urology in 2006 suggests that only 35% of men who undergo these surgeries are happy with the results. Shape The shaft can bend and curve in any possible direction, and while the majority of organs will point slightly upward, many also can point downwards, forwards or to the side slightly. If a man's member is curved it is perfectly normal and shouldn't effect the health or function of the organ. However, if your shape begins to change after the age of 20, it may be a sign of a underlying problem. Peyronie's Disease is a condition that can cause an increase in curvature, bumps on the shaft, an "hourglass" like look to the shape of the member, and/or pain during arrousal. It occurs in nearly 10% of men and may be the result of physical trauma or injury to the tissues, though researchers are still not clear on this. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Skin Color Some men wonder why the skin on their manhood is a different color than the rest of their body. Though the color of the organ will directly relate to a man's race, it is normal for the foreskin to be darker in color than the rest of the body due to a higher melanin content. Beneath the foreskin, the shaft and glans are usually much lighter. Following circumcision, it will appear as though the male organ has two different colors, revealing where the foreskin was removed. With nearly half of all men in North America being circumcised, having a multi-colored shaft is quite common. Changes in the color of the skin can be the first sign of cancerous changes. Cancer growths on the skin and tissues can appear as red scaly patches, blue-brown spots, or a rash. Be sure to have any changes to the normal skin color of your manhood checked out by a doctor immediately. Advice and Care No matter what a man's organ looks like, there are many options available to men to help them support the health of their male organ. Studies how that nutrition, pleasure, frequent and careful washing, and health crèmes all play their role in self-care. Wash your groin every day with gentle soap, and avoid using deodorants or chemical products which may irritate the sensitive skin of the foreskin, glans and shaft. Use specialist formulas for male organ health (most professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to moisturize your skin following washing. Natural crèmes containing shea butter, vitamins, minerals and amino acids will promote the integrity of the skin, protect nerve function, and improve the sensitivity of the manhood.
