i am confused. i learned back in school that the penis is tissues and is erected by the blood going in it, but does it have any muscles? i mean when having a ***** i can move mine without touching it(taa daaa). and on top of that i heard if u pull on ur penis it gets bigger something like that because you r working out the muscles. so can you your out your penis and make it bigger because it is a muslce or it is just a lie because penis is made of tissue and u cannot make it any bigger!? tissue or muscle exercise make it longer or just hurts it?

The penis has no muscles. If it did, you would be able to flex them when it is soft. You can move the penis when it is erect by momentarily pumping more blood into it.

The body or shaft of the penis is made up of three cylinders of soft, spongy tissue, which contain many small blood vessels. The entire penis contains many nerve endings that make it sensitive to touch, pressure, and temperature
During sexual excitement, the blood vessels of the spongy tissue fill with blood and swell up. The rapid, forceful dilation of these blood vessels throughout the entire penis causes it to become firm and grow in size
the average human penis is approximately 12.7-15 cm (5-5.9 in) in length and 12.3 cm (4.85 in) in circumference when fully erect.
