This process is separate from ejaculation and orgasm, both of which can occur without an erect penis.The shaft of the normal penis consists of two erectile bodies, each called the corpus cavernosum(see diagram), which begin at the pelvic bone and extend to just below the head of the penis. They are spongy tissue made up of smooth muscle and blood vessels. The male hormone testosterone, which is secreted by the testicles, controls the function of the penis and a man's sex drive.
