Spongy tissue inside the penis engorged with blood and the penis swells and elongates?
This process is known as an erection. It is primarily caused by increased blood flow to the erectile tissue in the penis, specifically the corpora cavernosa. When sexually aroused, the arteries leading to the penis dilate, allowing more blood to flow in and fill the spongy tissue, resulting in a firm and enlarged penis.
Which structures are located within the penis?
The penis contains various structures including the urethra, which carries urine and semen, and the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum, which are erectile tissue that fill with blood during an erection. The penis also contains nerves and blood vessels that play a crucial role in sexual function.

What is the fluff in your penis?
The "fluff" to which you refer is actually expansile tissue, of which there are two types: the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum. When you get an erection, blood flow from the penis is restricted, causing engorgement of the expansile tissue in the penis.
What is the function of the erectile tissue?
The corpus spongiosum is the the cylinder of soft tissue that runs inferior to the corpus cavernosa. It extends from the bulb of the penis (or bulbo spongiosum) and at the distal end is continuous with the head of the penis. Through the center of the corpus spongiosum runs the urethra. While the corpus cavernosa become very solid, to form the support for the penis, the corpus corpus spongiosum remains relatively soft. This allows it to hold the urethra open so the semen can easily be released.

The medical term for penile fracture is "penile corpora rupture."
