Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'd be happy to hear discussion and speculation on penises, but I know very little about that topic. Except that most primates have tiny wee-wees. Actually, I do know something related: in primates, generally testicle size is directly proportion to competitiveness for mates in that particular species. I think gorillas or orangutans have really small testicles versus certain kinds of promiscuous monkeys that have relatively much larger testicles. I think almost all primates have small penises compare to humans, though.

Relative to our body size, human males have among the biggest penises in the entire animal kingdom, actually. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time to hunt up some references, but I read this in some scholarly nature publication or other a few years ago. I forget which animals have a higher penis:body size ratio, but humans were towards the top. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this. - Deanna http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/12/05/nfossil05.xml & sS\ heet=/portal/2003/12/05/ixportal.html 425m-year-old penis found By Highfield, Science Editor (Filed: 05/12/2003) A 425-million-year-old fossilised penis, the oldest one yet recorded, has been discovered by scientists. It belongs to an ostrocod, a tiny animal like a water-flea which is still common today, even in suburban ponds. The fossil was found preserved in volcanic ash at an undisclosed site in Herefordshire, which was once part of an ancient ocean. It shows a remarkable amount of soft tissue detail. Fossilised soft parts such as those reported in the journal Science by Prof Siveter of the University of Leicester and colleagues in Oxford and Yale are extremely rare. The previous oldest specimen was 240 million years old. " It is very exciting, " Prof Siveter said. " Here we have a beautiful animal preserved in all its glory, and with all its appendages. " An ostracod is only 5mm long and its penis can be as much as a third of the size of its entire body. It has been named Colymbosathon ecplecticos, which means " astounding swimmer with a large penis " . Although there are older fossils with possible evidence of male features, it is unequivocal in the case of the Herefordshire fossil. " It is definitely a male, " he said. " That stout projection is a well-preserved penis. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I said _among_. (Actually, it's possible that what I read only discussed mammals, though... I might've been mistaken to encompass the whole animal kingdom. I remember whales, humans, some kind of ape or monkey, and maybe dogs and dolphins being discussed, but no fleas or lizards.) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said in proportion to body size, but I've seen an erect horse in which the *length* of the penis was astounding, even in proportion to his body. I've never seen a human male with a comparable proportional length of his shaft. Of course this is anecdotal, but I wonder about the mystique of the stallion and if shaft size has anything to do with it. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

I guess it also depends on whether you measure size by length (or height) or mass. I don't remember which baseline the article I read used. I can't even believe I googled this, but the figure I found for the length of a horse's penis is 2'6 " . The same list said that the average human penis is 6 " . If the average mass of a stallion is 1200#, that's 40# per inch for the horse, and if the average mass for a man is 170#, that's 28.33# per inch for the man, meaning the man wins. Using a lower average mass for horses of 1000#, which I expect is for females though I could well be wrong, man still wins, as the horse comes in at 33.33# per inch. OTOH, using 5 " as the average length for man, then man is narrowly beaten by the lighter horse but still better endowed than the heavier horse, coming in at 34# per inch. If you measure by height or length, though, the horse obviously comes out on top, because horses are in the neighborhood of man height and are roughly as long as they are tall. I think that accounts for my ration of trivia for the day. <g> - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 And thank heavens we don't have bones in our penises like most animals. That would be so unwieldy. I would have a bone to pick with our Intelligent Designer if He'd picked the wrong type of boner for us.
