Default Why can't people ...

Why can't people call a penis a penis when discussing a male dog's anatomy? I see all kinds of slang synonyms used in lieu of penis, yet I don't see people using slang terms for female body parts or other parts of the body found in both sexes. I recall years ago when Mrs. Bobbit bobbed Mr. Bobbit's penis, the newscasters in the DC area used every slang nomenclature imaginable except for calling it what it was ... a penis.

Um...we're talking about um........tallywhackers, right? Wells, honestly I think the fact is that it's hard to use the word pe- um pen-- um... that word that you're using for male um....junk and all, because it such a kinda AWKWARD word..... I mean even the sound of ....of.... p...... you know you, it just sorta sounds like peanuts only not quite and somehow removing the the 'T' sound just makes it so...um...um... personal...I guess. I mean..I see your point that we should simply use the appropriate term for the masculine genetalia region , but I would personally just have a lot of trouble coming right out and using that term for their....thing.

I hope that helped.

Probably the same reason they don't like to see it.

Because "lipstick" is so much more descriptive!

My clients usually get uncomfortable with strict nomenclature, so I usually say "girl parts" or "boy parts" just to put them at ease.

I have a feeling some of this was directed towards me. I can call a penis a penis and in an actual serious conversation, I do. (Unless talking to a client, in that case I tend to refer to them as "Boy/Girl parts" like Freestep said) I just find "red lipstick" to be a funny term (and in my defense, picked it up from another member here!!) and I've always described Chances PENIS as a "peewinkle". ie. Company is over and Chance is sitting in the middle of the living room licking his PENIS which my response is then "Chance, put your peewinkle away or do it in another room". I feel it's a little better than saying "Chance stop licking your penis/**** in front of everyone".

Oh and yes, I use the term "vajayjay" too.
