According to the [BME Encyclopedia](http://encyc.bmezine.com/)’s article on urethral rerouts (link I gave is work-safe, rest of the site often isn’t)

> On a philosophical level, some people believe that this transforms the penis into an instrument of pleasure only (since it is no longer involved in bodily functions). Others simply find it kinky, and still others have stretched this new urethral opening to allow penetration.

So, to summarize, it’s because humans are weird. Weird, weird, WEIRD.

Say, I wonder why **Blown & Injected** hasn’t weighed in on the matter? I mean, given his user name, you’d think that this would be right up his alley, so to speak.

Ah!!! AAHHH!!! Thank you, elfbabe, I finally found my creepy-limit!

Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww!

_pant, pant_ My skin is crawling off my head to flop off somewhere behind my desk. I have the willies like I’ve never had before. :eek:

I simply cannot imagine the UTIs you’re asking for with that. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Must go scrub my brain. Maybe with floss through my ears: ;j

Hah! As if that’ll happen. Toradol IM or Ibuprofen orally for everyone who’s not NSAID intolerant! Make sure and take with food! Don’t take if already taking another NSAID regularly. Stop if GI upset occurs. 😉

But doc, I have this _pain_ in my _penis_. I’ve tried Advil and Aleve and Ibuprofen and Tylenol and even Aspirin and it doesn’t help.

Got any _oxycontin_?

And some Cialis samples?

Ya gotta _help_ me doc, I’m in pain and nothing _works_!

Just so you all know, when I called home last night, **Qadgop** happily informed me that his reference to the bagel dog-like appearance of the penis in question was not just poetic license. The resemblance, he says, was uncanny.

God. I’m sure if I ever have to say “bagel dog” from now on, it’s going to come out as “penis dog”. Dad, this is your fault!

You know, I can NOT imagine discussing penises of ANY sort with my father, much less ones that look like bagel dogs.

And either I’ve been hanging out on the fringes too long, or something, because I am actually more creeped out by discussing male sexual organs with my dad than with the BME encyclopedia, which is truly a reference for those facing the bizarre.

I take it you were never a doctor’s kid then, **Broomstick**. **Elfbabe** knew the correct anatomic terms for nearly all body parts since elementary school. “No dear, it’s pronounced _tray-gus_. Not trag-us.”

This thread is a true classic. Oh, and I’m glad that my tax money is being properly . . um. . . husbanded.

> Since the penis is not a present threat to the patient’s health or life, the State has no interest in any sort of treatment, which would be considered cosmetic in this case. It only hurts when he gets erections, and said erections don’t last long due to the pain. An effective negative feedback loop. The State does not desire to spend money to enhance his copulatory abilities.
