Location of the human penis.

Noun

penis (plural penises or penes)

1. (anatomy) The male reproductive organ used for sexual intercourse that in the human male and some other mammals is also used for urination; the tubular portion of the male genitalia (excluding the scrotum).
   • Robin Williams:

     See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.

   • 1994, Lisa Kemler, Newsweek, 1994-01-24, page 19:

     A life is more valuable than a penis.

   • 1998, Collecting Mark Twain: A History and Three New Paths, Kevin Mac Donnell, Firsts Magazine, Inc.

     By early November, the sheets of HUCK FINN were being forwarded for binding, and within a week or two it was discovered that the illustration at page 283 had been altered in the master plate to make it appear as if Uncle Silas was exposing his penis. Twain would be amused to know that this may be the first time the word "penis" has ever been used to describe the alteration to this plate; the euphemisms and delicate phrasings employed by previous bibliographers to avoid stating the obvious are impressive.

   The female clitoris is homologous to the male penis.

   • 2016 October 16, John Oliver, “Third Parties”, in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, season 3, episode 26, HBO:

     Okay, hold on, because “stimulus package of your dreams” sounds like how Paul Krugman describes his penis.

Usage notes

The hyperforeign Latinate penii is occasionally used as the plural.
