A member asked:

Is low body fat around penis healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your question?: There's ordinarily no fat on a guy's penis. Actually, a man doesn't need any body fat in any case -- and muscle definition is much sought-after by celebrities and is a sign of good athletic conditioning.
