Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) is a dermatological (skin) condition affecting the male genitalia. It was first described by Stuhmer in 1928, though earlier reports describe what may have been the same condition (Freeman, 1941). BXO commonly occurs on the foreskin and glans penis (Keogh 2005). Atrophic white patches appear on the affected area (Buechner 2002), and commonly, a whitish ring of indurated (hardened) tissue usually forms near the tip that may prevent retraction (Keogh 2005).

Castration anxiety is an idea put forth by Sigmund Freud in his writings on the Oedipus complex; it posits a deep-seated fear or anxiety in boys and men said to originate during the genital stage of sexual development. It asserts that boys, when seeing a girl's genitalia, will falsely assume that the girl had her penis removed, probably as punishment for some misbehavior. The boy then becomes anxious lest the same happen to him. It is worth noting that in some cultures, notably 19th century Europe, it was not unheard of for par ...

The bulbus glandis is an erectile tissue structure unique among domesticated animals to the canine penis. After the male dog mounts and penetrates the bitch, the bulbus glandis becomes engorged with blood. It forms a spherical structure at the base of the penis, proximal to the os penis. There is a corresponding ridge of erectile tissue in the bitch's vagina; when this becomes engorged behind the engorged bulbus glandis, the penis is trapped within the vagina. This forms a seal to hold the semen within the bitch's rep

Some men have penile amputations, known as penectomies, for medical reasons. Cancer, for example, sometimes necessitates removal of all or part of the penis. In very rare instances, botched childhood circumcisions have also resulted in full or partial penectomies. Genital surgical procedures for transwomen (transgendered or transsexual women) undergoing sex reassignment surgery, do not usually involve the complete removal of the penis; part or all of the glans is usually kept and reshaped as a clitoris, and the skin of the penile shaf ...

An innovation in cosmetic surgery takes fat cells from elsewhere in the body and injects them below the surface of the skin of the shaft of the penis to increase the thickness (but not length) of the penis. The penile shaft normally has little or no fat, and this method results in an unnatural appearance and feel, as well as risking radical shifting of the fat injected. A related method involves injection of silicone into the penis and scrotum. This technique can cause enormous increases in the girth of the penis (increasing the penis ...

There have been incidents in which men have been assaulted, usually by their girlfriends or wives, by having their penises severed. Lorena Bobbitt, for example, is well-known for cutting off the penis of her husband, John Wayne Bobbitt, for revenge when she discovered his infidelity. Bobbitt's penis was successfully reattached, and he went on to have a short career in pornographic movies. This was not the first modern case, however. On 18 May 1936, Sada Abe (also known as Abe Sada) strangled her lover (believed to by his request, he w ...

The meatus (opening) of the urethra is at the tip of the glans penis. In young boys who wear nappies (diapers), the meatal area of the glans penis is at risk from meatitis, meatal ulceration, and possibly meatal stenosis. [1] The epithelium of the glans penis is mucocutaneous tissue.[2] Birley et al. report that excessive washing with soap may dry the mucous membrane that covers the glans penis and cause non-specific dermatitis.[3] Inflammation of the glans penis is known as balanitis.
