We have all seen posts of men not understanding women's anatomy. How have you experienced this the other way?

For instance, My wife confidently told me that men who jerk off a lot actually stretch the skin of their penises permanently. If that were the case, mine would be looped around my waist.

Yes, I am aware of Jelqing, it doesn't work. That is not what she was referencing.

Oh God. I am a woman and reasonably experienced, but until I was 40 I had no idea different guys had different penis sizes when erect, I'd had about a dozen guys or so before settling down in my 20s and literally they were all the same size hard, no matter what size they were soft so I thought that was universal.

I have several times experienced women (non-penis-havers) giving definitive statements of how circumcision affects a man's experience of sex. It was especially ironic because they were telling me that my (circumcised penis-haver's) experience was wrong.

My wife was in a panic when we had a baby boy and she realised that male kids, even babies get boners. She thought that didn't happen till puberty. I told her, that's why a kid who can't lift a book can get one at any moment once they hit puberty, cause that thing works itself out without our knowledge or consent and while we sleep. I wish the rest of my muscles worked out while I slept.

Tell her that baby boys even get boners while still inside the womb.

Also, the penis is not a muscle. It gets hard because it contains chambers that fill up with blood.
