Tip Of The Penis
The shaft of the penis is the part that extends out of the body to the tip of the penis. When flaccid (no erection) the skin on the shaft of the penis is loose and stretchy. While many people think that the shaft of the penis is not as sensitive as the head, some men have areas on the shaft that are highly sensitive.

Penile pain can affect the base, shaft, or head of the penis. It can also affect the foreskin. An itching, burning, or throbbing sensation may accompany the pain.
This tissue extends through the body of the penis to the tip, where it expands into a mushroom-shaped structure called the glans penis. Running through the centre of the corpus spongiosum is the urethra , a common passage for semen and urine; the urethra ends in a slitlike opening at the tip of the glans penis.
In most marsupials, the glans is divided, but male macropods have an undivided glans penis. The glans penis is also divided into two parts in platypuses and echidnas. The glans penis of the marsh rice rat is long and robust, averaging 7.3 mm (0.29 in) long and 4.6 mm (0.18 in) broad.
The root of the penis begins directly below the bulbourethral glands with a long cylindrical body of tissue known as the corpus spongiosum (or corpus cavernosum urethrae). This tissue extends through the body of the penis to the tip, where it expands into a mushroom-shaped structure called the glans penis.
The head of the penis, called the glans, is shaped like a cone. The opening of the glans is called the meatus (me- ate- us), and at the base of the glans is a crownlike structure called the corona . The scrotum , a sac of skin located at the base of the penis, holds the testicles.
