Wikipedia article: "Penis"

[Hyperelastic]

Apropos the MPSIMS thread on the Wikipedia “Human anus” article, did anyone else click through to the Penis article that was mentioned several times in the Wikipedia talk page?

It’s a little hard to judge size without a length reference, and of course compared to my own Holmesian endowment it is but a trifle, but does the accompanying photograph make anyone else feel a little, uh, inadequate?

[JFLuvly]

It looks like a penis…just smaller!

This one could, but not really.

But the picture I assume you to mean, no. As an uncircumcised penis, it perhaps looks a bit longer than a circumcised one (if that’s what you’re used to seeing), as might the fact that he’s shaved at the top. Otherwise it looks like a fairly regular flacid size.

Their picture of the varying states of erection also doesn’t look to be a particularly impressive member of the species.

There are several photographs. I am going to assume you mean this one?

[Freudian_Slit]

I’m a girl but this looks pretty big. I mean, it’s flaccid!

It’s a good thing that they helpfully labeled the shaft, with an arrow and everything. Otherwise I’d have no idea where that was.

That penis looks full of blood, to me. If I have to pee really bad or have recently had an erection it can easily hang to the end of my balls. What a lovely thing to say! Wee!

Every time an anatomy book or Wikipedia says the meatus is part of the penis I have to do a reality check to make sure it’s not vandalism.

Meatus! laughing

(I’m sure if I pronounced it properly it would be less funny.)

Actually, any anatomical opening to the environment is referred to as a “meatus”. I enjoy intentionally pronouncing it meat-us instead of me-ate-us just to annoy my doctor wife.

Jeeez…Mr. Ed would look at that guy with envy in his eyes. Is that Ron Jeremy’s untrimmed brother?

I’m suddenly reminded of the episode of the Golden Girls when Rose tells us that her mother taught her the difference in men and women by showing her the sexual organs of bulls and cows. Dorothy and Blanche ask her if it wasn’t a shock on her wedding night and she said of course.

“Man, that bull would have been jealous!”

ETA: Found it at Wiki Quote:

Rose: [Talking about raising children] The hardest part for me was explaining to my Kirstin the difference between boys and girls. I knew the time had come but I kept putting it off. Finally I decided it was time to take the bull by the horns.
Blanche: So you told her?
Rose: No - I took the bull by the horns, turned him around and showed her what makes a bull a bull.
Blanche: You are kidding, Rose?
Rose: No! That's how my mother taught me.
Blanche: Honey, didn't that give you a false impression about...what a man would look like?
Rose: It sure did! Can you imagine my surprise on my wedding night with Charlie? Boy, that bull would have been jealous.
