Frank Lentini had two penises, but then again, he also had partial duplication of his lower body. He lived to be 85 years old and had four children.

> Francesco "Frank" Lentini (May 18, 1889 − September 21, 1966) was an Italian-American sideshow performer who toured with numerous circuses. Born with a parasitic twin, Lentini had three legs.
> Lentini was born at 8 Gintoli Street, Rosolini, Sicily, on May 18, 1889. Delivered by midwife Maria Alberino, he was the fifth of 12 children (seven sisters and five brothers) in his family. Disgraced initially, his parents gave him into the care of the wife of his uncle Corrido Falco. At four months old he...
He was in the news some years back because a rock band called itself “Kill Frank Lentini” and his grandchildren were, to say the least, not happy about this.

From there: George Washington has penipodes. If you took off his boots you’d see the dicks growing offf his feet.
It’s “I heard… that… \*\*motherfucker \*\*had like… 30 \*\*goddamn \*\*dicks” for effect!

I think there’s also a condition where a woman can have two vaginas. So introduce them to one another.

Now THAT made me chuckle. For some reason, I was imagining over/under as the logical choice. Most women complain about boys and men missing the toilet as it is. Can you imagine this guy’s mother or wife complaining about his bad aim?

Partial duplication of the uterus is actually not that uncommon. Duplication of the vagina is, and is usually associated with other birth defects as well.
Interesting mental picture, BTW. Imagine a dating website for people like this. 😛

> Lentini’s deformity was the result of a partially absorbed conjoined twin. The twin was attached to Frank Lentini’s body at the base of his spine and consisted of a pelvis bone, a rudimentary set of male genitalia and a full-sized leg extending from the right side of his body, with a small foot attached to this extra knee. It is recorded that Lentini had sixteen toes in total and two sets of functioning male sexual organs.
with 3 legs & 2 penises his pants must have fit like a glove. 😃

NB: although colloquially vagina = female genitals, in this case it means the internal part that is not visible normally. You can find another AMA for a woman with this but IIRC even so it’s a lot more common\*. Because it’s not visually obvious (even to the woman) it may be undiagnosed for much longer than obvious male genitals. I’m not sure that the vulva/external genitals are ever duplicated with any regularity.
\*Or regular, if you’re a marsupial.

When I was in college, late 1960’s I read about such, but his second was very small and under his “real” one. This guy claims side by side and both usable. How does that work? My first wife had a female cousin who had 4 nipples the bottom pair had no breasts behind them, they were just nipples.

No, correct, it was two actual vaginas, not vulvas. It was awhile ago I ready about it, and it’s late, so I’ll look it up tomorrow.

Two dicks? Meh. Give me a dude with a functioning tongue above his dick 😉

Just because people are curious and want to see if they are both functioning doesn’t mean he is any good.
