The dorsal nerve of the penis is the deepest of three divisions of the pudendal nerve; it accompanies the internal pudendal artery along the ramus of the ischium; it then runs forward along the margin of the inferior ramus of the pubis, between the superior and inferior layers of the fascia of the urogenital diaphragm.

In male human anatomy, the glans penis or penile glans, [1] commonly referred to as the glans, (/ ɡ l æ n z /; from Latin glans meaning "acorn") [2] is the bulbous structure at the distal end of the human penis that is the human male's most sensitive erogenous zone and primary anatomical source of sexual pleasure.
The pudendal nerve is the main nerve of the perineum. [1]: 274 It is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve and also conveys sympathetic autonomic fibers.It carries sensation from the external genitalia of both sexes and the skin around the anus and perineum, as well as the motor supply to various pelvic muscles, including the male or female external urethral sphincter and the external anal sphincter.
As part of the glans penis, the frenulum is innervated by divisions of the pudendal nerve; the dorsal nerve of the penis and a branch of the perineal nerve. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Blood supply to the frenulum is provided by branches of the dorsal artery of the penis that curve around each side of the neck to enter the frenulum and the glans from its ...
The corona and the neck are highly vascularized areas of the penis. The axial and dorsal penile arteries merge together at the neck before entering the glans. [8] Branches of the dorsal artery of the penis curve around the distal shaft to enter the frenulum and the glans from its ventral surface. [9]
It passes between the crus penis [2] and the pubic symphysis [citation needed] of the pelvis to reach the dorsal surface of the corpus cavernosus penis. [2]As it pierces the perineal membrane, it (depending upon the source) passes between the two layers of the suspensory ligament of the penis, [citation needed] or pierces the lateral lamina of the suspensory ligament of penis.
The deep branch of the perineal nerve is a branch of the perineal nerve, itself a branch of the pudendal nerve. [1] It pierces the medial wall of the pudendal canal. [1] The dorsal nerve of the penis for males and the dorsal nerve of the clitoris for females is the terminal branch of the pudendal nerve.
