					 My name is Maria, and today  we are going to talk about 
				
					00:00:37
					 common myths about the male  body, specifically about the penis. 
				
					00:00:42
					 Here are some common questions  answered for your information. 
				
					00:00:46
					 Is there an average penis size? 
				
					00:00:49
					 There is a wide range  of normal penis sizes, 
				
					00:00:52
					 just the same way women and  girls’ bodies are each unique. 
				
					00:00:56
					 Also, a large part of the penis  is actually inside the body, 
				
					00:00:59
					 and the part that can be seen  will be different for each person. 
				
					00:01:04
					 Does a penis change  as a man gets older? 
				
					00:01:08
					 As men age, hormonal,  vascular and neural changes 
				
					00:01:12
					 can lead to changes in men’s  sexual drive and desire. However, 
				
					00:01:17
					 there is no evidence to suggest that the  erect penis physically changes, though. 
				
					00:01:22
					 Can men get infections, too? 
				
					00:01:25
					 Yes, men can get yeast infections  and urinary tract infections, too. 
				
					00:01:31
					 What is an erection? 
				
					00:01:33
					 An erection is a hardening  of the penis that occurs 
				
					00:01:37
					 when the sponge-like tissue  inside the penis fills up with blood. 
				
					00:01:41
					 Although some erections  are caused by sexual arousal, 
				
					00:01:45
					 many erections seem to  happen for no particular reason. 
				
					00:01:49
					 Erections are a perfectly  normal function of the male body. 
				
					00:01:53
					 Can men get erections back to back? 
				
					00:01:57
					 Men usually don’t get erections  back to back because they need a rest. 
				
					00:02:01
					 This is called the refractory period. 
				
					00:02:09
