Welcome to the ultimate guide to penile anatomy, where we take a medical and educational deep dive into the inner workings of one of the most fascinating organs of the human body. Led by Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist and specialist in sexual health from Göttingen, this video explains the intricate details of the penis, from its erectile tissue to the critical roles of its arteries, veins, muscles, and nerves.
We’ll explore how the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum work together during an erection, what makes the penis rigid despite the absence of a bone, and how structures like the tunica albuginea and the fibro-skeleton provide stability and strength. You'll learn why the glans penis behaves differently during an erection and how the bulbospongiosus and ischiocavernosus muscles trap blood to sustain firmness. This video also explains the role of pelvic floor muscles and how the neurovascular bundle, the penis’s delicate supply lines of blood and nerve signals, is protected.
We’ll also address the foreskin, or prepuce, as more than just a piece of skin. The frenulum and the thousands of nerve endings in the foreskin contribute to penile sensitivity, providing both mechanical protection and sensory functions. The discussion touches on the impact of circumcision, weighing the potential effects on sensitivity and sexual function, as well as the conditions that may necessitate foreskin removal, such as BXO (balanitis xerotica obliterans) or lichen sclerosus.
This video is designed to be a comprehensive, fact-based overview for those interested in anatomy, urology, and sexual health education. With high-quality medical illustrations and a straightforward explanation of how an erection works, this content is perfect for anyone curious about the science behind the penis.
