I have to ask as well-could a doctor remove one?

That’s really bizarre.

One guy I saw in a video did two women, or rather they did him. Both penises were fully functional and simultaneous, if you know what I mean.

Dunno how many balls he had.

You could if you were able to find a woman with a [double vagina](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12536095&dopt=Abstract).

A doctor could certainly remove one, or both of them.

No one really needs a penis except to breed.

Half the world population doesnt have one and mangages to get by just fine.

It is much more common to see cases where it was cut off/burned off/mangled/blown off/etc. You end up with a shorter uretha, and thats about it.

No big deal if it is there or not, there are no muscles there that control the bladder.

According to the book ‘Talking Cock’ this is not the bonus it may first appear to be as more often than not people suffering from this rare problem are completeley impotent. Now those people who can insert their own penises in the anus on the other hand…

Judging based on Barbra (Barbara?) Striesand, nature can do anything. 2 penises seems as likley as someone with six digits on a hand or foot. (I just love involving an illiterate in my posts) 😜

Damn, suppose I should have linked to the letter to Congress. Can anyone help out? (the one where she mispelled so often). Otherwise, just ignore the post. I’m not known for spelling everything right, either. _slinks away_

I have to ask, do men with this condition…well, about the positioning…

Well, to use shotgun terminology, do these guys have “over-under” or “side by side” barrels?

The more I tried to not think of this, I of course thought of this. I seem to remember in high school seeing a porno where a guy had two. IIRC, they were one on top of the other. I won’t say how they were used, I assume you can figure it out It seems to be rare but true, like hermaphrodites. I could link you to a video on iMesh, I’m sure, but don’t like the spyware.

Best suggestion would be [ares.com](http://ares.com). I only get music there since video is iffy on supply, but no risk of RIAA busting your balls, point is, the proof is out there
