Sexual characteristics in humans

So, how about our species?

Unlike chimpanzees, female humans do not exhibit sexual swelling, but they do have swollen breasts which attract male humans. However, the swelling of female breasts is not related to their menstrual cycle.

Human males have an intermediate relative testes size—larger than gorillas (one-male groups) and smaller than chimpanzees (multi-male groups), but their penises are much larger than both great apes.
