I imagine they must be epic. I mean, their freaking hearts weigh over half a ton.
In Moby Dick , Melville describes the Sperm Whale penis as so large thaty its skin can fit over a man. (In the chapter entitled “The Cassock”)
There used to be a picture on Snopes purporting to show a whale penis, but it’s gone now (Not the one of a whale shark that’s now up).
IIRC, Uncle Cecil compared it to a telephone pole, at one point.
Numbers I’ve read range from six to sixteen feet; photos support an estimate of about eight feet.
Testes are reported to be 20-25 pounds, and are internal.

Dayum. :eek:
Why oh why would I click on a link that I knew would most likely lead me to a penis?
It wasn’t as bad as I feared, but still - I’m trying to figure out why I clicked :smack:
Just a friendly hint, if you ever see a link for “goatse”, skip it.
I f&cking love this message board.
Me too. And may I add that you have one of the worst possible screen names to be replying to this thread?
Didn’t they used to make full length leather aprons out of the foreskin? I seem to recall hearing that somewhere.
Yeah, but what about shrinkage?
It was a very cold ocean that day! :mad:
OK… I’ve seen these things in internet pictures but never in real life. Does it… retract inside it’s body when it gets soft?
This is a handy gift idea,
No, handkerchiefs.
They were very convenient - if you got caught in a rainstorm, you just stroked it and it turned into a tent.
Don’t forget to tip your waitress.

As opposed to, say, giving her the shaft?
I find it impossible to believe that I missed this in Moby Dick, but I guess somehow I did.
How in fact did Melville refer to Moby’s Dick in Victorian-era English? ‘Whalehood?’
Am I the only one who’s sick of expanding foreskin jokes? The foreskin doesn’t really get much bigger; it’s the tissue inside it that expands. It gets a little tighter, and it does stretch some, but no more than ordinary skin.
Best GQ thread title ever. I laughed out loud.
