Question:

Hi,

In the calculator when it says “the glans flares out at the base” and “the glans has a rough texture” what do you mean by rough texture and what would the flaring look like?

Answer:

At a certain point of development, the corona (the base of the glans) flares out when the penis becomes erect. The surface of the glans also gets rougher when erect, this gives more feeling to the nerves in the glans so that the male is more sensitive to sexual intercourse.
