What are male reproductive organs?

Male reproductive organs are the parts that help make babies when they grow up.

What They Look Like

Think of a man’s body like a toolbox, it has special tools for making little people. The testicles are like tiny egg-shaped balls inside the body, and they make something called sperm, which is like super small swimmers that help start a baby. These sperm travel through a tube called the vas deferens, which is like a slide from the testicles up to another special part called the prostate, this helps mix things together before it goes out.

What They Do

When a man wants to make a baby, he uses something called the penis, which is like a hose that sends sperm into the body of someone else. This whole process is kind of like sending a message in a bottle, except instead of a letter, it’s tiny swimmers going on a trip!

These tools work together every time a man grows up and wants to have a baby, just like how your hands help you build things when you play with blocks.
