Colles' fascia emerges from the perineal membrane, which divides the base of the penis from the prostate.

(The fascia of perineum is a deep fascia that covers the superficial perineal muscles individually). its superior border is the perineal membrane (inferior ...
In front, it is continuous with the dartos tunic of the scrotum; behind, with the subcutaneous areolar tissue surrounding the anus; and, on either side, with the same fascia on the inner sides of the thighs.
