Shouldn’t the function of the penis to urinate be mentioned immediately after its function as a sex organ as well? Aliy Dawut (talk) 15:49, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duck's penises aren't "designed". 86.31.178.164 (talk) 14:39, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Human penis which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only current mention of humans in the article is a sentence that says humans do not have a baculum. It might also be worth mentioning somewhere that humans have penises (usually one per male human and an average of about one per two humans, if I understand correctly). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Humans are placental mammals. Via the transitive property, they are already adequately covered here. Feel free to add a "See also" for Human reproductive system or similar, however. Jtrevor99 (talk) 18:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that most people have terms like placental mammals (and transitive property) in their everyday vocabulary. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very odd that I was accused of "making the photo too large" when I was actually shrinking it on my copy of the page, by a significant margin. (It originally appeared at, I believe, 495px width - the preview width - for me.) I'm fine with the current size but wanted to make @Cyclopia: and others aware. It's probably a browser rendering difference when no size parameter is supplied. Jtrevor99 (talk) 16:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
