“The essence of love is the gift of myself. No other

pre-ejaculate, and semen to your urethral opening and out of your
body.
Urethra
2 small organs that produce
semen, the fluid that sperm moves around in.
SEMINAL VESICLES

your penis. This is where pre-ejaculate and
semen come out of, and it’s where you pee
out of.
Glans

it connects to your lower belly. It looks like
a tube. Your urethra is inside the shaft.
Shaft

the tip is exposed.

Uterus
are small, oval-shaped glands that are located on either side of the uterus. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones.

skin around your vaginal opening.
