A member asked:
What area of the penis does blood stay in inside the penis when it is flaccid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't stay inside: Not much blood remains in penis when flaccid. Blood is trapped within the penile rods (corpora cavernosa) during an erection. Blood then leaves the penile rods during detumescence.

Have a thin vein in my penis that is about 4 inches long and it has hardened. It feels like a guitar string under the skin, even when flaccid or erect. When I stretch the skin out the vein looks white it does not appear to have blood. No pain, noSTDs?
