'''Sonic CulT''' is a large information repository started by [[PACHUKA]]. Although it was the largest Sonic website after the old [[SSRG]], it was full of insults and general non-niceness that angered a good deal of people.

{{Otheruses4|the male sex organ|the symbol of the erect penis|phallus}}
 
The '''penis''' (plural ''penises'', ''penes'') is an external [[male]] [[sex organ|sexual organ]]. The penis is the male [[reproductive]] organ and for [[mammal]]s additionally serves as the external male organ of [[urination]].

Was sold to [[Tigress]] until [[Sazpaimon]] is 18, the site was on hiatus due to lack of a stable hosting solution. Forums are known for being no-bull**** and, at the time, were operating under "Uber Ghetto Chinese Democracy" rule.

On August 18, 2004, PACHUKA abandoned the website to InsaneSonikkuFan and Sazpaimon. Later, the server it was on learned of the switchover and cut the Sonic CulT's space. As of now, the entire website is offline; there was a backup of their message board SCARZ, but it was currently off and the Sonic CulT's new administrators were asking for Paypal donations and money via ad banners.
*one [[corpus spongiosum]]
 
  
The corpus spongiosum lies on the underside (known also as the [[anatomical position|ventral side]]) of the penis; the two corpora cavernosa lie next to each other on the upper side ([[anatomical position|dorsal side]]).
+
On October 3, 2004, the site returned to a half-complete status; although the administrators were still asking for donations. A short time after, the site returned to full operational status.
  
The end of the corpus spongiosum is enlarged and bulbous-shaped and forms the [[glans penis]]. The glans supports the [[foreskin]] or prepuce, a loose fold of skin that in adults can retract to expose the glans.  The area on the underside of the penis, where the foreskin is attached, is called the [[frenum]] (or frenulum).
+
In late 2004, PACHUKA returned and brought the site and forums back up completely, co-administrating the site with Saz.  
  
The [[urethra]], which is the last part of the [[urinary tract]], traverses the corpus spongiosum and its opening, known as the [[meatus]], lies on the tip of the glans penis. It is both a passage for [[urine]] and for the [[ejaculation]] of [[semen]]. [[Sperm]] is produced in the [[testes]] and stored in the attached [[epididymis]]. During ejaculation, sperm are propelled up the [[vas deferens]], two ducts that pass over and behind the bladder. Fluids are added by the [[seminal vesicle]]s and the vas deferens turns into the [[ejaculatory duct]]s which join the urethra inside the [[prostate gland]]. The prostate as well as the [[bulbourethral gland]]s add further secretions, and the semen is expelled through the penis.
+
This would be short lived as PACHUKA was soon arrested in December 2004 on charges of sexual abuse on a minor. At this point, PACHUKA was working on more revisions, and everything was down. The fact that he was arrested prevented bringing the site back up again.
  
The [[Perineal raphe|raphe]] is the visible ridge between the [[lateral]] halves of the penis, found on the ventral or underside of the penis, running from the meatus (opening of the urethra) across the scrotum to the [[perineum]] (area between scrotum and anus).
+
As of February 2005, Saz brought the forums and website up completely again at the new domain, [http://www.sonic-cult.net sonic-cult.net], originally owned by Tigress.
  
The human penis differs from those of some other mammals. It has no [[baculum]], or '''erectile bone'''; instead it relies entirely on engorgement with blood to reach its erect state. It cannot be withdrawn into the groin, and is larger than average in the animal kingdom in proportion to body mass.

In November 2005, Saz began work on obtaining and restoring the sonic-cult.org domain after getting a hold of the old random-string administrative passwords used for both the aforementioned domain and anti-otaku.com.

==Linguistics==
+
[[Category:Sites]]
===Etymology===
 
The word "penis" was taken from [[Latin]] and originally meant "[[tail]]." Some derive that from [[Proto-Indo-European language|Indo-European]] ''*pesnis'', and the Greek word πεος = "penis" from Indo-European ''*pesos''.
 
 
 
The Latin word ''"[[phallus]]"'' (from [[Greek language|Greek]] φαλλος) is sometimes used to describe the penis, although "phallus" originally was used to describe ''images'', pictoral or carved, of the penis.[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=penis&searchmode=none]
 
 
 
===Slang===
 
As with nearly any aspect of the human body that is involved in sexual or [[excretory]] functions, there are many slang words for the penis. Many of these are noted in the [[Bathroom humor#Miscellaneous body parts, odours and medical ailments|bathroom humor]] article.
 
 
 
"Penii" is sometimes facetiously or mistakenly used as a plural form of "penis" instead of "penes" or "penises," its correct form.
 
 
 
:''For [[slang]] terms for the "penis," see [[Wiktionary:WikiSaurus:penis|WikiSaurus:penis]] — the [[Wiktionary|WikiSaurus]] list of synonyms and slang words for the penis in many languages.''
 
 
 
==Puberty==
 
When a boy enters [[puberty]], after the [[testicles]] begin to develop, the penis begins to enlarge, alongside the rest of the genitals. The penis grows longer until about the age of 18, but growth in width begins at roughly the age of 13. During the process, [[pubic hair]] grows above and around the penis.
 
 
 
==Sexual homology==
 
{{main|List of homologues of the human reproductive system|l1=Sexual homology}}
 
 
 
In short, this is a known list of sex organs that evolve from the same tissue in a human life.
 
 
 
The [[Glans penis|glans]] of the penis is [[homology (biology)|homologous]] to the [[clitoral glans]]; the corpora cavernosa are homologous to the body of the clitoris; the corpus spongiosum is homologous to the [[vestibular bulbs]] beneath the labia minora; the scrotum, homologous to the [[labia minora]] and [[labia majora]]; and the foreskin, homologous to the [[clitoral hood]]. The raphe does not exist in females, because there, the two halves are not connected.
 
 
 
==Erection==

[[Image:Penis corrected.jpg|thumb|right|A human penis in both flaccid and fully erect states.]]
 
An erection is the stiffening and rising of the penis, which occurs in the [[sexual arousal|sexually aroused]] male, though it can also happen in non-sexual situations. The primary physiological mechanism that brings about erection is the autonomic [[dilation]] of [[arteries]] supplying [[blood]] to the penis, which allows more blood to fill the three spongy erectile tissue chambers in the penis, causing it to lengthen and stiffen. The now-engorged erectile tissue presses against and constricts the veins that carry blood away from the penis. More blood enters than leaves the penis until an equilibrium is reached where an equal volume of blood flows into the dilated arteries and out of the constricted veins; a constant erectile size is achieved at this equilibrium.
 
 
 
Erection facilitates [[sexual intercourse]] though it is not essential for various other [[sexual activities]]. Although many erect penises point upwards (see illustration), it is common and normal for the erect penis to point nearly vertically upwards or nearly vertically downwards or even horizontally straightforward, all depending on the tension of the suspensory [[ligament]] that holds it in position. Stiffness or erectile angle can vary.
 
 
 
==Size==
 
{{main|Human penis size}}
 
 
 
As a general rule, an [[animal]]'s penis is proportional to its body size, but this varies greatly between [[species]] &mdash; even between closely related species. For example, an adult [[gorilla]]'s erect penis is about 4 [[Metre#SI multiples|cm]] (1.5 in) in length; an adult [[chimpanzee]], significantly smaller (in body size) than a gorilla, has a penis size about double that of the gorilla. In comparison, the [[human]] penis is larger than that of any other [[primate]], both in proportion to body size and in absolute terms.
 
 
 
While results vary across studies, the consensus is that 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 [[erection|erect]]. The [[arithmetic mean|average]] penis size is slightly larger than the [[median]] size. Most of these studies were performed on subjects of primarily European descent; worldwide averages may vary.
 
 
 
A research project, summarizing dozens of published studies conducted by physicians of different nationalities, shows that worldwide, erect-penis size averages vary between 9.6 cm (3.7 in) and 16 cm (6.2 in). It has been suggested that this difference is caused not only by [[genetics]], but also by environmental factors such as [[culture]], [[diet]], chemical/pollution exposure<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ehponline.org/members/2005/8100/8100.html | work = ehp | title = Size decrease in Male infants with prenatal phthalate exposure | accessdate = 2006-11-08 }}</ref>, etc.
 
 
 
As with any other bodily attribute, the length and girth of the penis can be highly variable between individuals of the same species. In many animals, especially [[mammal]]s, the size of a flaccid penis is much smaller than its erect size. In humans and some other species, flaccid vs. erect penis size varies greatly between individuals, such that penis size when flaccid is not a reliable predictor of size when erect.
 
 
 
Except for extreme cases at either end of the size spectrum, penis size does not correspond strongly to reproductive ability in almost any species.
 
 
 
==Normal variations==
 
[[Image:Uncircumcised_Penis.jpg|thumb]]
 
[[Image:Circumsised_penis_-_Flacid_and_Erect_-_High_Res2.jpg|thumb|Uncircumcised penis (top) compared to a [[circumcised]] penis (bottom)]]
 
Depending on temperature, a flaccid (not erect) penis of average size can withdraw almost completely within the body. During erection the penis will return to its normal (erect) size.
 
*Other variations:
 
*[[Hirsuties papillaris genitalis|Pearly penile papules]] are raised bumps of somewhat paler [[color]] around the base of the glans and are normal.
 
*[[Fordyce's spot]]s are small, raised, yellowish-white spots 1-2 mm in diameter that may appear on the penis.
 
*''Sebaceous prominences'' are raised bumps similar to Fordyce's spots on the shaft of the penis, located at the [[sebaceous gland]]s and are normal.
 
*[[Phimosis]] is an inability to retract the foreskin fully, is harmless in infants and pre-pubescent males, occurring in about 8% of boys at age 10. According to the British Medical Association, treatment (steroid cream, manual stretching) does not need to be considered until age 19.
 
*Curvature: few penises are completely straight with curves commonly seen in all directions (up, down, left, right). Sometimes the curve is very prominent but it rarely inhibits sexual intercourse. Curvature as great as 30º is considered normal and medical treatment is rarely considered unless the angle exceeds 45º. Changes to the curvature of a penis may be caused by [[Peyronie's disease]].
 
 
 
==Disorders affecting the penis==
 
[[Oedema]] (swelling) of the foreskin can result from sexual activity, including [[masturbation]].
 
 
 
[[Paraphimosis]] is an inability to move the foreskin forward, over the glans. It can result from fluid trapped in a foreskin which is left retracted, perhaps following a medical procedure, or accumulation of fluid in the foreskin because of [[friction]] during vigorous sexual activity.
 
 
 
In [[Peyronie's disease]], anomalous scar tissue grows in the soft tissue of the penis, causing curvature. Severe cases can benefit from surgical correction.
 
 
 
A [[thrombosis]] can occur during periods of frequent and prolonged sexual activity, especially [[fellatio]]. It is usually harmless and self-corrects within a few weeks.
 
 
 
Infection with the [[Herpes]] virus can occur after sexual contact with an infected carrier; this may lead to the development of herpes sores.
 
 
 
[[Pudendal nerve entrapment]] is a condition characterized by pain on sitting and loss of penile (or clitoral) sensation and orgasm. Occasionally there is a total loss of sensation and orgasm. The [[pudendal nerve]] can be damaged by narrow hard bicycle seats and accidents.
 
 
 
[[Penile fracture]] can occur if the erect penis is bent excessively. A popping or cracking sound and pain is normally associated with this event. Emergency medical assistance should be obtained. Prompt medical attention lowers likelihood of permanent penile curvature.
 
 
 
In [[diabetes]], [[peripheral neuropathy]] can cause tingling in the penile skin and possibly reduced or completely absent sensation. The reduced sensations can lead to injuries for either partner and their absence can make it impossible to have sexual pleasure through stimulation of the penis. Since the problems are caused by permanent nerve damage, preventive treatment through good control of the diabetes is the primary treatment. Some limited recovery may be possible through improved diabetes control.
 
 
 
[[Erectile dysfunction]] or ''impotence'' is the inability to have and maintain an erection sufficiently firm for satisfactory sexual performance.  Diabetes is a leading cause, as is natural aging.  A variety of treatments exist, including drugs, such as ''[[sildenafil]] citrate'' (marketed as [[Viagra]]) which works by [[vasodilation]].
 
 
 
[[Priapism]] is a painful and potentially harmful medical condition in which the erect penis does not return to its flaccid state. The causative mechanisms are poorly understood but involve complex neurological and vascular factors. Potential complications include ischaemia, thrombosis, and impotence. In serious cases the condition may result in [[gangrene]], which may necessitate [[amputation]].
 
 
 
====Developmental disorders of the penis====
 
[[Hypospadias]] is a [[developmental disorder]] where the [[meatus]] is positioned wrongly at birth. Hypospadias can also occur [[iatrogenic]]ally by the downward pressure of an indwelling urethral catheter. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9554017] It is usually corrected by surgery.
 
 
 
A [[micropenis]] is a very small penis caused by developmental or congenital problems.
 
 
 
[[Diphallia]], or penile duplication (PD), is the condition of having two penises. However, this disorder is exceedingly rare.
 
 
 
====Alleged and observed psychological disorders====
 
*[[penis panic]] (''koro'' in [[Malay language|Malaysian]]/[[Indonesian language|Indonesian]]) - [[delusion]] of shrinkage of the penis and retraction into the body.  This appears to be culturally conditioned and largely limited to [[Sudan]], [[China]], [[Japan]], and [[Southeast Asia]].
 
*[[penis envy]] - the contested [[Freud]]ian belief of a woman [[envy]]ing men for having a penis.
 
 
 
===Altering the male genitalia===
 
{{main|Genital modification and mutilation}}
 
 
 
[[Image:Ampallang Piercing.jpg|thumb|Ampallang piercing]]
 
The most prevalent form of genital alteration in some countries is [[circumcision]]: removal of part or all of the foreskin for various cultural, religious, and more rarely medical reasons. In many cases, such as in some [[United States]] hospitals, the [[frenulum]] and part of the shaft skin is also removed.
 
Less commonly, the penis is sometimes [[body piercing|pierced]] or decorated by other [[body art]]. Other than circumcision, male genital alterations are almost universally elective and usually for the purpose of aesthetics or increased sensitivity. Piercings of the penis include the [[Prince Albert piercing]], the [[apadravya piercing]], the [[ampallang piercing]], the [[dydoe piercing]], and the [[frenum piercing]]. [[Foreskin restoration]] or stretching is a further form of [[body modification]].
 
 
 
Other practices which alter the penis are also performed, although they are rare in Western societies without a diagnosed medical condition.  Apart from a [[penectomy]], perhaps the most radical of these is [[subincision]], in which the urethra is split along the underside of the penis. Subincision originated among [[Australian Aborigine]]s, although it is now done by some in the U.S. and Europe.
 
 
 
==Penis replacement==
 
The first successful penis [[allotransplant]] surgery was done on September 2005 in a military hospital in [[Guangzhou]], China.<ref>[http://www.southcn.com/news/gdnews/nanyuetuijian/200509220074.htm Guangzhou Daily]</ref> A man at 44 sustained an injury after an accident and his penis was severed; [[urination]] became difficult as his urethra was partly blocked. A newly [[brain-dead]] man, at 23, was tracked down and his penis selected for the transplant. Despite [[atrophy]] of blood vessels and nerves, the [[arteries]], [[veins]], nerves and the corpora spongiosa were successfully matched.  On September 19th, the surgery was reversed because of a severe [[psychological]] problem of the recipient and his wife.<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1874818,00.html</ref>
 
 
 
== Non-human penises ==
 
 
 
Most [[marsupialia|marsupials]], except for the two largest species of [[kangaroo]]s, have a [[Bifurcation|bifurcated]] penis. That is, it separates into two columns, and so the penis has two ends. [[Urban legend]] alleges that the [[dolphin]] has [[prehensile]] control over his penis (it is true, however, that whales and dolphins can move and to a certain degree bend their penis tips to facilitate mating). In the realm of absolute size, the smallest vertebrate penis belongs to the [[common shrew]] (5 mm or 0.2 inches). The largest penis belongs to the blue whale estimated at over 2 m (more than 6½ feet). Accurate measurements are difficult to take because the whale's erect length can only be observed during mating. [[Gorilla]]s have relatively small penises, so it is an often used subtle insult in some countries to insinuate or directly state that one is 'hung like a gorilla'.
 
 
 
The [[Iceland]]ic [[Icelandic Phallological Museum|Phallological Museum]] is devoted entirely to collecting penis specimens from all sorts of land and sea mammals. The museum has received a legally-certified gift token for a future specimen belonging to ''Homo sapiens''.
 
 
 
Among birds, only [[paleognathes]] ([[tinamous]] and [[ratites]]) and [[Anatidae]] (ducks, geese and swans) possess a penis. It is different in structure from mammal penises, being an erectile expansion of the [[cloaca]]l wall and being erected by [[lymph]], not blood. It is usually partially feathered and in some species features spines and brush-like filaments, and in flaccid state curled up inside the cloaca. The [[Argentine Blue-bill]] has the largest penis in relation to body size of all vertebrates; while usually about half the body size (20 cm), a specimen with a remarkable 42.5 cm-long penis is documented.
 
 
 
Male specimens of the ''[[Squamata]]'' order of reptiles have two paired organs called [[hemipenis|hemipenes]]. In male [[insect]]s, the structure homologous to a penis is known as [[aedeagus]]. The male copulatory organ of various lower invertebrate animals is often called the ''cirrus''.
 
 
 
==Cultural aspects involving penises==
 
===Uses of animal penises===
 
*Culinary, e.g., in Chinese gastronomy
 
*Magical and therapeutic, in medicine and/or superstition, especially as an alleged aphrodisiac or even cure for impotence
 
*Also used for punitive implements and dog toys, such as the [[bull pizzle]]
 
 
 
===Uses of human penises in cultural traditions===
 
*Aesthetical, e.g., [[Body modification]]
 
*For the symbolic and artistic use, see under [[phallus]]; in heraldry, the term is [[pizzle]]
 
*In humor, e.g., in [[scatology]] - considered indecent or completely taboo in various cultures

Sonic CulT is a large information repository started by PACHUKA. Although it was the largest Sonic website after the old SSRG, it was full of insults and general non-niceness that angered a good deal of people.

Was sold to Tigress until Sazpaimon is 18, the site was on hiatus due to lack of a stable hosting solution. Forums are known for being no-bull**** and, at the time, were operating under "Uber Ghetto Chinese Democracy" rule.

A short time after, Tigress handed her responsibilities over to InsaneSonikkuFan, as she wished to leave the scene.

On August 18, 2004, PACHUKA abandoned the website to InsaneSonikkuFan and Sazpaimon. Later, the server it was on learned of the switchover and cut the Sonic CulT's space. As of now, the entire website is offline; there was a backup of their message board SCARZ, but it was currently off and the Sonic CulT's new administrators were asking for Paypal donations and money via ad banners.

On October 3, 2004, the site returned to a half-complete status; although the administrators were still asking for donations. A short time after, the site returned to full operational status.

In late 2004, PACHUKA returned and brought the site and forums back up completely, co-administrating the site with Saz.

This would be short lived as PACHUKA was soon arrested in December 2004 on charges of sexual abuse on a minor. At this point, PACHUKA was working on more revisions, and everything was down. The fact that he was arrested prevented bringing the site back up again.

As of February 2005, Saz brought the forums and website up completely again at the new domain, sonic-cult.net, originally owned by Tigress.

In November 2005, Saz began work on obtaining and restoring the sonic-cult.org domain after getting a hold of the old random-string administrative passwords used for both the aforementioned domain and anti-otaku.com.
