I have a question. When you say that the penis is X-% smooth muscle, how is that measured? Is that by mass when flaccid, by volume when flaccid, by mass or volume when erect? Is that compared to the mass or volume of the ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, lymph vessels and cartilage, or just compared to some of these things? Are the cadavers penises completely drained of blood before the measurements are taken?
I'm just curious. Obviously the take home point is that younger penises and healthier penises have more smooth muscle, but I tend to want to understand exactly how statistics come about. |
