body of the penis

The urethra is on the ventral side of the body of the penis.

The body of the penis is cylindrical in shape and consists of three circular shaped chambers.

The result: Penile fibrosis, the formation of scar tissue in the main body of the penis.

Frenulum breve may contribute to frenular chordee, where the glans is pulled toward the vernal body of the penis.

Bowenoid papulosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by the presence of pigmented verrucous papules on the body of the penis.

This is homologous to the corpus cavernosum clitoridis in the female; the body of the penis contains erectile tissue in a pair of corpora cavernosa (literally "cave-like bodies"), with a recognisably similar structure.
