π― Sperm Production
The average male produces approximately 1,500 sperm per secondπ, which adds up to over 500 billion sperm cells in a lifetime.

π― Sperm journey
Sperm travels about 7 inches (18 centimeters) to meet the egg in the female reproductive tract. Interestingly, this journey seems short, yet it is a challenging trip for sperms due to the conditions they must navigate.

π― The versatility of Testosterone
Testosterone, the primary male sex hormone, not only influences sexual drive and sperm production but also:
- plays a role in muscle mass
- bone density, and
- red blood cell production.

π―Testicles
They hang outside the body in the scrotum because they need to be cooler than the body's core temperature for optimal sperm production and storage.
The temperature in the scrotum is typically a few degrees lower than that within the body
So donβt suffocate itππΌ

π―Penis size
The average erect penis is about 5.16 inches (13.12 cm) long, although there is a wide range of normal sizes. Flaccid penis size is not a reliable indicator of erect size.

π― Seminal fluid
Semen, the fluid that carries sperm, is composed of various substances, including enzymes, fructose, and proteins.
Only about 5% of semen is sperm; the rest is a mix of fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.

π― Prostate gland
The prostate gland, about the size of a walnut, surrounds the urethra just below the bladder. It produces a fluid that nourishes and transports sperm during ejaculation. This fluid makes up about 30% of the total volume of semen.

π― Foreskin and Circumcision
The foreskin, is a retractable fold of skin that covers the head of the penis. Circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin, one of the oldest known surgical procedures

π― Male or female child
The Y chromosome, which determines male sex, is significantly smaller than the X chromosome. It carries fewer genes, but it includes the SRY gene, which triggers male development.

These facts shows how complex and remarkably efficient the male reproductive system isβ¦

Can a normal male be born with more than one testicle?
