Too much masturbation?

Thank you Scott! Not just for your kind words, but for reminding me of something I hadn't thought of at all. It may indeed be that kekk is noticing the raphe.

kekk, the raphe is exactly as Scott describes - the seam along which the two halves of your penis and scrotum joined in utero. Its visibility varies a lot in different people. It's more often visible on the scrotum when it's cold, when it often appears as a ridge along the centre. On the penis it may not be visible at all, or as a line, or as a ridge (much narrower than the corpus spongiosum).

Thanks again, Scott!

It should be mentioned that for a few days after conception, we are basically female in form, and that the raphe is where the two sides are fused, as the male develops in utero. That fusion doesn't happen to females, which is why their genitals retain that original separation, as a genital slit.

You are right on the point there kory........That fusion normally happens in the 6th week of pregnancy where all the organs including sex organs start to form and hormones like testosterone and androgens are also produced. This is where the Y chromosome starts its work.

A little trivia :wink: ........that ridge/seam is also where young boys were cut open in ancient times and were used to look after the women in harems/palaces, as they could not keep an erection and even if they could have an erection they couldnt plant their sperm in any of the women's womb and impregnate them.

Yeowch, seriously! The things people did, and in cases, still do, sometimes it's unbelievable.

I read somewhere that a few hundred years ago, I think it was even the Vatican that if you were a very good boy singer they would CUT YOUR BALLS OFF so you wouldn't go thru puberty and your voice wouldn't change! How sick was that!!

Though ancient times are interesting to study/research............they really were some weird times

How sick was that!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castrati This explains it. Yes, people in the past did a lot of weird shit. Come to think of it, they still do.

Well its sorta prevails even today in few parts of Asia and Africa........some even cut and sew the women's genitals when they are still babies its a pretty horrifying act its under female circumcision in wikipedia. It gave me the creeps.
