Q & A

Why do men, on average, have more muscle mass in their upper bodies compared to women?

Men evolved to have more muscle mass in their upper bodies due to the need for physical strength in combat and competition with other males for mating opportunities.

What percentage of violent crimes are committed by men, according to the script?

Men are responsible for approximately 80 percent of violent crimes.

How does the size of men's brains compare to women's, and does it affect intelligence?

Men's brains are generally larger than women's, but this does not affect intelligence. Brain size is not directly correlated with intelligence.

What is the medical term for the phenomenon where men experience erections during sleep?

The medical term for erections during sleep is 'nocturnal penile tumescence'.

What is the difference between 'growers' and 'showers' in terms of male anatomy?

Growers are men whose penis size increases significantly when erect, while showers are those whose size change is less dramatic. Studies suggest that about 80 percent of men are growers.

Can men experience a G-Spot, and if so, where is it located?

Yes, men have a G-Spot, which is located about two inches into the rectum at a place called the perineum between the scrotum and the anus.

Is it possible for men to produce milk and breastfeed, and under what conditions might this occur?

Yes, men can produce milk and potentially breastfeed, although it usually requires hormonal drugs. An example is a man in Sri Lanka who breastfed his children when his wife was dying.

Why do men generally feel warmer than women?

Men feel warmer than women because they typically have more muscle mass, which burns more calories and generates heat.

How does the thickness of men's skin compare to women's, and what impact does this have on the aging process?

Men's skin is about 20-30 percent thicker than women's, which can result in men developing wrinkles later and often appearing younger as they age.

What is 'Irritable Male Syndrome' and how does it relate to testosterone levels in men?

Irritable Male Syndrome is a condition that can occur when a man's testosterone levels drop, leading to symptoms like fatigue, depression, and moodiness. It can happen at any age but is more commonly associated with aging.

Can baldness in men be linked to increased sexual virility, and what factors contribute to hair loss?

Baldness in men is not directly linked to sexual virility. Hair loss is primarily due to genetics and not related to testosterone levels.

Why do men develop larger Adam's Apples during puberty, and what role do hormones play in this process?

Men develop larger Adam's Apples during puberty due to hormonal changes that cause the larynx to grow, resulting in a deeper voice. This is thought to have evolved to attract the opposite sex and assert dominance over male rivals.

🌙 The Mysteries of Male Anatomy and Physiology

This section of the script uncovers various intriguing aspects of male anatomy and physiology. It begins with the fascinating phenomenon of nocturnal penile tumescence, explaining the biological mechanisms behind erections during sleep. The script then humorously addresses the concept of 'growers' and 'showers,' discussing how the size of a flaccid penis does not necessarily predict its erect size. The topic of the male G-spot is introduced, revealing its location and potential effects on sexual pleasure. The ability of men to produce milk and breastfeed under certain conditions is also mentioned, along with the influence of hormones on body odor and temperature regulation. The script concludes with a discussion on the differences in skin thickness and the implications for aging, as well as the existence of Irritable Male Syndrome, a condition analogous to PMS that can affect men as they age.

🔥 Male Aging and Reproductive Mysteries

The final paragraph of the script addresses the changes men experience as they age, particularly in relation to their reproductive capabilities. It dispels the myth that older men cannot father children, citing examples of men who have done so well into their later years. The paragraph also discusses the decline in sperm quality and the potential for genetic abnormalities in offspring as men age. The topic of baldness is explored, challenging the stereotype that bald men are more virile and suggesting that genetics, rather than testosterone levels, are responsible for hair loss. The script concludes with a brief look at the development of the Adam's Apple and the deeper voices of men, suggesting that these traits may have evolved to attract mates and assert dominance.

Keywords

💡Nocturnal penile tumescence

Nocturnal penile tumescence refers to the phenomenon where men experience erections during sleep, often several times a night and lasting up to 30 minutes. This is a natural occurrence and is part of the body's way of maintaining penile health. In the script, it is mentioned as a mysterious yet normal part of male physiology, highlighting the automatic and unconscious processes that the body goes through.

💡Grower vs Shower

A 'grower' is a term used to describe a penis that significantly increases in size when erect, compared to its flaccid state. Conversely, a 'shower' is one that does not change much in size from flaccid to erect. The script discusses this concept to illustrate the variability in male genitalia and to challenge assumptions about size based on flaccid state. It is used to normalize the differences and to suggest that what may appear small in a non-erect state can become much larger when erect.

💡G-Spot

The G-Spot, or Graefenberg spot, is an area in the anterior wall of the rectum that is thought to be highly sensitive to stimulation, potentially leading to pleasurable sensations or even orgasm. The script mentions the male G-Spot, which is less commonly discussed but can be a source of sexual pleasure when stimulated, contributing to the broader conversation about male sexuality and pleasure.

💡Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that plays a role in lactation. The script mentions that men can produce milk and potentially breastfeed under certain conditions, such as taking hormonal drugs or experiencing a significant increase in prolactin levels due to factors like starvation. This highlights the lesser-known aspects of male physiology and the potential for men to participate in child-rearing in ways not typically considered.

💡Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics. The script discusses how testosterone levels can influence male behavior, body odor, and sexual attraction. It also touches on the idea that higher testosterone levels in single men might be an evolutionary advantage in attracting mates, illustrating the complex interplay between biology and social behavior.

💡Irritable Male Syndrome

Irritable Male Syndrome is a term used to describe mood changes and symptoms similar to PMS that some men experience, particularly as they age and their testosterone levels fluctuate. The script uses this concept to draw parallels between the experiences of men and women, and to highlight the impact of hormonal changes on mood and behavior, which is often more associated with women's health discussions.

💡Adam's Apple

The Adam's Apple is a lump in the throat that is more prominent in males due to the enlargement of the larynx during puberty. The script explains that the Adam's Apple is related to the deepening of the voice in males, which is a result of hormonal changes. It suggests that the development of a deeper voice might have been an evolutionary adaptation to attract mates or assert dominance, showing how physical traits can have underlying evolutionary purposes.

💡Muscle Mass

Muscle mass refers to the amount of muscle in the body, which is greater in men on average compared to women. The script mentions that men's higher muscle mass contributes to them feeling warmer, as muscles generate heat as a byproduct of metabolism. This example illustrates how physiological differences can lead to practical differences in everyday experiences, such as thermal comfort.

💡Sperm Quality

Sperm quality refers to the characteristics of sperm that affect fertility, including count, motility, and morphology. The script discusses how sperm quality can decline with age, which can impact a man's ability to father children. It provides a realistic view of the changes in male reproductive health over time and the potential implications for family planning.

💡Baldness

Baldness is the loss of hair, typically from the scalp, and can be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or other factors. The script addresses the common belief that bald men may have higher testosterone levels or be more virile, suggesting that while baldness might be associated with certain perceptions of masculinity, it is not necessarily linked to sexual prowess or hormone levels. This highlights the difference between popular beliefs and scientific facts regarding physical traits.

Transcripts

You’re born with it and you stay with it for the rest of your life.

You look at it every day and you never get bored of it.

It gives you intense pain, and it gives you immense pleasure.

Sometimes when you look in the mirror, you’re reminded that it doesn’t last forever.

You go on Instagram and you compare it with other ones, sometimes hoping you can change

it, obscure it, give it a bit of a makeover.

But whatever your body looks like, it’s a marvel of engineering.

It’s actually almost difficult to comprehend.

In the words of Shakespeare the human body is, “unlimited in thinking, admirable in

his shape and movement, angelic in action, godlike.”

Today you’re going to see just how your body is infinitely amazing.

You might have heard that women are stronger than men when it comes to surviving diseases

and also in many other ways, but when it comes to brute force, men on average win hands down.

But do you know why that is?

It’s said that on average men’s upper bodies have much more muscle mass than the

average woman, as much as 75% more.

Men have stronger lower-body strength, too.

They grip harder, they throw harder, they punch harder, they run faster, and we’ll

say this one last time, on average.

We’ve all just accepted this as a fact of life, but what we don’t ask is why.

Why shouldn’t women have evolved to be just as strong or stronger than men?

Well, scientists say men evolved to fight, men are designed for combat.

In some of the natural world, females are very often bigger than males, but that’s

because they are designed to carry lots of eggs.

It’s different for land-dwelling vertebrates, which includes humans.

Those males evolved to be bigger due to competition with other males regarding finding a female

to procreate with.

All this fighting over females in the past has led to men being more violent overall.

Men are responsible for something like 80 percent of violent crimes, while the prison

population at least in the US is made up of 93.2 percent of men as of April 2021.

Are men just naturally violent?

It’s like this, according to one scientist, “Men are not more violent because they’re

stronger, but stronger because they’ve needed to be more violent over evolutionary history,

which has shaped male psychology in all sorts of ways.”

So, never mind how puny you are, you’ve been designed to be a fighting machine.

But what about the brain, do men have a different kind of brain?

Ok, so we are walking on thin ice even bringing that up.

We don’t want to offend anyone, so we’ll remind you not to shoot the messenger.

If you are a scientist and you say that men’s and women’s brains are fundamentally different

you might be accused of “neuro­sexism”, but quite a few studies have shown that men’s

brains work better at completing spatial and motor tasks.

They might look at a puzzle and have to think about how a shape can be manipulated to fit

in the right hole, and according to those studies, men will on average be better than

women at this.

Still, other scientists have called this a myth and indeed a kind of neuro-sexism, so

the jury is still out on this one.

One thing we do know for sure is men’s brains are bigger, but that doesn’t have any effect

on intelligence.

Men might have bigger parts of the brain for a reason, but again, this is still a controversial

issue.

Some studies have found that the parts of men’s brains are bigger which are associated

with the survival instinct and reacting to stimuli.

Women might have bigger parts of the brain that are related to language and emotions.

Ok, so now we think we should get down to business and talk about that taboo subject

of the male phallus, the penis as your doctor will refer to it.

It’s a pretty amazing thing to behold, even if it sometimes gets in the way of having

a quiet life.

First of all, it’s a hard worker.

It even does the night shift.

Did you know that the average man will get three to five erections during the night,

often lasting as long as 30 minutes?

What’s up with that?

It’s not as if you need it in your sleep.

The medical term for this phenomenon is “nocturnal penile tumescence”, something we imagine

you’d never say to your partner after she asks what is that pressure on her leg.

“Don’t worry darling, it’s just nocturnal penile tumescence.”

Basically, you get wood when your parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated.

Sights, touch, memories, and even sounds can make this happen.

Arteries in your pecker dilate, blood flows in, and hey presto, you have lift off.

The penis is not a muscle by the way.

It’s been described as more like a sponge that gets bigger when it fills with blood.

When you’re sleeping, much of your body might slow down, but the parasympathetic nervous

system is still switched on.

You aren’t getting a stiffy because of dreams or because of that leg of your lover, it’s

just the fact your nervous system is functioning well.

Why it happens other than that is still a mystery to science.

One scientist said night time erections serve no purpose whatsoever and are merely a byproduct

of the nervous system, so don’t worry about it if every time you wake up you feel like

you have a Toblerone stuffed into your underwear.

Ok, now to the question you all want answered- Is there such a thing as a grower and a shower?

Do some men walk around with great big dongs while others walk around with a lip balm in

their pants?

Well, just remember that a lip balm can almost double its size with a bit of rubbing.

There are such things as ‘growers’ and studies have proven it.

If you have a lip balm kind of John Thomas it is very likely you’ll grow a lot more

than the guy with a flaccid Toblerone.

One study showed that out of 2770 men with small flaccid willies their growth was 86

percent when fully erect.

Meanwhile, the bigger boys only showed a growth of 47 percent.

Basically, things even out when men get down to business.

As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover.

Scientists say you cannot assess the size of the man’s wiener until you see it in

all its glory.

Some studies have shown that about 80 percent of men are growers, and the rest are showers.

Staying with subjects that make people blush, you might not know that men have a G-Spot.

Yep, just tunnel about two inches into the rectum and you’ll find it there.

It’s at a place called the perineum between the scrotum and the anus and with a bit of

pressure, not too much, it can be activated.

It might also be stimulated when you’re taking a poo, giving you the feeling of poo-phoria.

There are cases of men having what’s been called “Defecation-induced orgasms.”

Dropping the kids off at the pool can be ecstatic, but usually they’ll have to be at least

one very big kid.

You also might not know that men can produce milk and so can breastfeed.

Yep, that’s true, although the man might have to take some hormonal drugs.

In 2002, there was a guy in Sri Lanka who fed his two babies because his wife was dying.

He stepped in and saved the day.

It doesn’t usually happen without any drugs, although certain things can happen in the

male body that makes it produce more of the hormone prolactin.

One of those things is starvation.

When women are pregnant, the levels of prolactin in their body increases, but sometimes it

does in men, too, although that’s an anomaly, not an evolutionary requirement in nature.

Due to hormones, men tend to stink a lot more than women.

On the other hand, women are better at picking up the scents.

According to science, the smell of men gives women a better idea of who they might be mating

with.

It’s said women find men with high-testosterone more attractive, and they can sense this with

their olfactory sense.

Research has shown that single men tend to have higher testosterone levels than men with

partners, which makes sense in evolutionary terms.

Ok, onto something new, something that might stop men and women arguing about turning up

or down the heating in the house.

Did you know that men generally feel a little bit warmer than women?

You probably do know that, because no doubt you’ve been in a situation where she’s

cold and you’re not.

There’s a simple reason for this other than what you are wearing.

Men generally have more muscle mass, and because of that, they burn more calories to fuel those

muscles.

This creates heat, and when that heat evaporates, it warms the skin.

As one doctor put it, men have their own little heaters.

Studies have shown that women tend to feel the most comfortable in a room that is slightly

hotter than a room men feel the most comfortable in.

So, don’t argue, just accept you are different in this respect.

And when it comes to skin, men’s skin is anywhere from 20-30 percent thicker than the

skin of a woman.

Men also tend to have firmer skin, which becomes more apparent in older age.

This is why women usually get wrinkles before men and so men often look younger than women

as they age.

Sorry, women.

As one scientist put it, “Female skin-thinning occurs at a significant pace after menopause.

Hence, signs of skin aging in older women are generally more pronounced as compared

to men in the same age group.”

Still, there are many factors, such as work, stress, and how many days you’ve been under

the sun trying to get a tan or grow some rice.

Talking about later life, men can actually get something that is not unlike PMS.

It’s called Irritable Male Syndrome and usually happens when a man ages and his testosterone

levels drop.

It might happen at any time in life since testosterone levels do change in men for various

reasons.

They might suddenly drop and then they might increase, even within one day.

When this happens, men might experience fatigue, depression, low self-esteem, anger, anxiety,

moodiness.

When it does happen in older age and the levels seem to drop for good, that is called male

menopause.

Still, with some men, they have a gift that keeps on giving.

They can have children at a very late age, even if they might not be the bull on the

springs they used to be.

In 2010, a guy in India named Mr. Ramajit Raghav had cause to celebrate.

He had a child.

The strange thing is, he was 94.

And get this, he had another child two years later.

It’s actually not uncommon for men to have kids when they are in their winter years.

The age-defying, rubber-legs lead singer of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, had his eighth

kid when he was 73.

A man might have less chance of having a kid at an older age, but he can still produce

testosterone and sperm cells even though he might be walking around with a Zimmer frame.

Still, as he approaches those winter years there will be some changes.

He might not produce as much sperm as he did before and those sperm might not be as good

at swimming as they used to be.

It’s usually in the 40s that the quality of sperm takes a hit.

Older men might also produce sperm that can lead to abnormalities in the child.

No man likes losing his hair, but it’s a fact of life that many do.

Word on the street is bald men tend to be more sexual, due to what some people have

said is the increase in testosterone.

But is this a myth or is it true?

Firstly, don’t worry baldies, when it comes to attraction, studies have shown that there

are many more things women think about than the mass of hair on a man’s head.

Some studies have even shown that bald men are seen as more masculine and attractive

to women, but that’s debatable.

Jason Statham’s bald head isn’t exactly comparable to a man who has a very unsuccessful

comb-over.

Studies have shown that women tend to be attracted to guys’ that have shaved all their hair

off, rather than guys that let hanging curtains decorate their head.

As for baldness being related to virility, it’s a complex matter.

Castrated men who have hardly any testosterone can still have hair, while guys with hardly

any hair might have low testosterone levels.

Genes are what make hair fall outt, not testosterone.

In conclusion, if you are bald, it’s your mom and pop’s fault, not the fact you are

a super-sexual being.

What about the Adam’s Apple, why do men tend to get bigger ones?

This part of the body is made of cartilage and gets bigger when you hit puberty.

Men usually have a larger larynx and Adam’s Apple and that’s why they usually have deeper

voices, but with both men and women, how large these things grow is down to hormones.

Hence, some voices are deeper than others in both men and women.

As for why men tend to grow bigger voice boxes and Adam’s Apples, some scientists say they

developed this deeper voice to attract the opposite sex and give off a more threatening

sound to male rivals.
