### Pintel ƿeaxung and puberty
On ingāngende puberty, se pintel, belg and beallucas sceal beginneþ tō āndƿræppanne. Āmang the process, pubic hǣr ƿeaxð ābufan and ymbe þǣm pintele. A large-scale study assessing penis size in thousands of 17–19 year old males found no difference in average penis size between 17 year olds and 19 year olds. Fram þis, hit cann bið lūcen þe ƿeaxung þæs pinteles bið gemǣnelic geænded ne lator þonne gear 17, and ācumendlīce ǣror.

Þæt hēafod þæs pinteles bið gelīc þǣm clitoral hēafde; þæt bodig hol sind gelīc þǣm bodige of the clitoris; þæt sƿammlic bodig bið gelīc to the vestibular bulbs bineoþan the labia minora; the belg, gelīc to the labia minora and labia majora; and þæt filmen, gelīc to the clitoral hōd. Se sēam ne bið bestandende in ƿīfum, ac þær, sēo tƿā healfe ne sind bunden.

### Ūplangung

Ūplangung bið þæs stīfianung and rīsanung þæs pinteles, þe gelimpð āmang gemānalic āƿreccanung, þēah hit cann ēac limpan in ungemānalic forcumungs. 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.

### Ūplangung angel
Þēah manig ūplang pintele ligað ūp, hit bið gemǣne and regollic for þǣm ūplangum pintele tō licganne nēahlic lēadrihtlic ūp oþþe nēahlic lēadrihtlic dūne oþþe licgrihtlic anforngean, eall hōnende on þǣre spanne þæs spannlices ƿebbendes þe gehæfð hit in stæle.

The following table shows how common various erection angles are for a standing male, out of a sample of 1,564 males aged 20 through 69. In the table, zero degrees is pointing straight up against the abdomen, 90 degrees is horizontal and pointing straight forward, while 180 degrees would be pointing straight down to the feet. An upward pointing angle is most common.

### Āndhladanung

Āndhladanung bið sēo ūtƿeorpung sǣdes fram þǣm pintele, and bið oft gefērscipod mid orgasm. Līne seonulīrlices contractions bǣrð sǣd, nimende ƿerlic gemānacellas cnāƿen sƿā sǣdcellas oþþe spermatozoa, fram þǣm pintele. Hit oft bið folgung gemānalices āƿreccung, þe mæg geinnian prostate āƿreccung. Rarely, it is due to prostatic disease. Āndhladanung mæg limpan hisselflic āmang slǣpe (cnāƿen sƿā nihtlic floƿing oþþe **ƿǣt sƿefn**). **Anejaculation** is the condition of being unable to ejaculate.

Ejaculation has two phases: *emission* and *ejaculation proper*. The emission phase of the ejaculatory reflex is under control of the sympathetic nervous system, while the ejaculatory phase is under control of a spinal reflex at the level of the spinal nerves S2–4 via the pudendal nerve. A refractory period succeeds the ejaculation, and sexual stimulation precedes it.
