> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FreakFreely \* > \*\*I honestly never understood would give it a name. Is it sorta like talking to plants? Are you trying to make it grow? \*\* PNCs [penile naming conventions] are meant to make the penis a bit less “frightening” when discussed, and are sometimes used as a joke. One of my friends named his penis, but I can nver remember the name. Jess, can you help me out with this one? what did Dj name his penis? ---

In one of R.A. Wilson’s books, a character names his schlong “Polyphemus.” Any students of Greek mythology would be happy to explain this, if it goes over your head… ---

Don’t any of you read bodice rippers? His throbbing manhood. His flaming rod of power. His pulsating weapon. His sweet sword (alternately, his savage sword). Note that all adjectives are interchangeable ie. his flaming sword or throbbing rod. And has “the love muscle” been mentioned yet? I had a boyfriend who started calling his ice cream, oh, but maybe we shouldn’t go there. . . ---
