Shaving and waxing of the pubic area is now the norm, but is leading to severe scarring and infections in young men and women, says a Nelson sexual health practitioner.

Thanks to “Grey’s Anatomy” (Season 5 Episode 13), it’s the question on everyone’s minds.  No matter what your mother told you, the answer is yes – penises can break, but it doesn’t happen all that often.

Penises are remarkably bendy.  They can be twisted and contorted into a variety of positions without damage.  But the one thing they can’t do is survive being rammed against a hard surface when erect.  (Luckily, flaccid penises are safe from fractures.)

In the weird and wonderful world of sex, a lot of things might surprise you.

For example, did you know that women in ancient Egypt used to use plugs made of crocodile droppings as a form of birth control?

Here it is, straight from the mouth of Anthony Smith, deputy director of the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University in Melbourne: “…Men should be encouraged to masturbate."

So, guys, start wanking for a good cause: your own health.
