OTTAWA - The Penis Book by Joseph Cohen (Broadway Books; $17.95) is plenty funny and filled with medical truths and discussions, such as the foreskin debate. And there's a feel-good part about penis size (like Cohen would skip that).

And now, seven incredible things you never knew about the penis.

1 There are no bones in it.

2 The average speed of an ejaculatory spurt is 40 km/h.

3 When taking an oath, our biblical ancestors would place their hands over their testicles to signify sincerity. Words such as "testify" and "testament" derive from this association.

4 Most men under 55 have erections every 70 to 100 minutes of sleep. Sexy dreams have nothing to do with it.

5 Since the 1980s, hundreds of thousands of circumcised foreskins have been sold to bio-research laboratories, which require young skin cells for the nascent field of artificial skin technology. One foreskin contains enough genetic material to grow over 23,000 square metres of skin.

6 Smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to become impotent.

7 There is no correlation between the size of a man's hands, feet or nose and the size of his penis. Penis size is very much a product of heredity and genetics, not the size of your Hush Puppies

6 Smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to become impotent.

Don't know if it's an urban legend, but I heard once that the anti-smoking ad known as the most successful in the world was in Japan, and the tag-line was something like "Smoking makes you impotent".

If the success of this ad is true, that show a funny side of us, males. Say I'll die of a long and painful sickness ? Don't care. Say I'll be impotent ? PANIC !!!!!

They've got that message on Canadian cigarette packages now. But that's why I avoid lighting up for an hour before showtime.

When I was in the Kansai region of Japan a few months ago, the majority of men still smoke.

so how far does yours shoot?

Depends on the type of orgasm you give me.

Is this 23,000 sq.m. before or after you rub the foreskin?

so how far does yours shoot?

On occassion over the shoulder from a seated upright position...

In a rubber? all the way to the end of the rubber!

the bad news is that the younger you are as a male the more damage is done for the rest of your life from smoking ... even if you quit by the time you are 20 the damage to the blood vessels is permanent and only gets worse!
