Topic: What are the types of penises?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

I know about the "sausage and mushroom" (uncut and cut) human dicks, the "foam noodle" horse dick, the "Bulldozer" canine dick, and the "Crotch-horn" tapering penis, but what other shapes are out there? And what determines which category a dick falls under when it's missing a small portion from a main category?

As far as I'm aware, a canine penis goes out to the head bit, which has a somewhat curved-pyramid like shape to it, and that even if you remove the knot from it, it should still be canine, but according to others, it's something else. Do we allow artistic design to suddenly remove a tag like this, or do we keep it as being a "slightly customized canine_penis"?

If we could get some reference sheets in here for what all of the shapes are, that'd be especially useful.

There's quite a few that aren't common enough to have tags. And the one that you posted doesn't seem to fit sufficiently well into any category; I'd simply leave it tagged as penis.

that is some very pale font on those notes. makes it a bit hard to read.

Animal_penis works. There's unusual_penis but I don't think this is particularly exotic enough for that, hybrid_penis also exists, but it's again probably not totally applicable. Is there a more generic 'fantasy_penis' tag for things not really 'hybrid' but not really that unusual either?

Looking at that, it seems that both canine and hyena dicks have the same shape of head, but hyenas lack the bulbous glands. Shouldn't this qualify as one, then, or is it missing something else? Uncommon or not, it doesn't hurt to add a tag for something that is in the image.

The tip of the hyena penis is actualy pretty flat with a slight notch while a canines has a well defined elongated tip, and the example in the op is nether one of those as the spoon like depression on the head of the penis is missing.

Are we really going to say such a tiny little difference is enough to remove the tag?

Well we kinda do in the case of things like hemipenes and diphalism...

Those two tags together cover all types of two-penises. Do you say that if a horse doesn't have hooves it's no longer a horse? No, it's still a horse.

Not quite, in male hyenas the definition of the tip from the rest of it is more pronounced than in canines while canines (generally) have longer, pointier tips. Hyenas also have small spines on their penises, but this isn't often drawn in as they're not visible in most photos and aren't a famous feature. I've mostly seen them drawn in scientific diagrams.

That image is great, but should be taken with a grain of salt. By the artists' own admission it's not 100% accurate and there's some anthropomorphism to the drawings.

If it looks close to something, it should be tagged so that anybody looking for it actually does find it.

Actually no, they generally difer solely in how they attach to the body. Could you link me to any existing equine species that don't have hooves? And in regards to humanoids and anthros they might not always have hooves feet in the traditional sense thru they usually still have hooves in place of finger nails or toe nails.

I don't think canine and hyena penises look close enough for hyena penises to be tagged as canine. Also the image in question doesn't really look close to a hyena penis to me.

There does seem to be a bit of discretion to tagging penises as things they look close to.

These all have the same general shape as a cetacean_penis, but is probably less due to them being representations of cetacean penises and more for the fact that cetacean penises are simple tapering penises without a defined head, medial ring, knot, or other distinctive features.

post #1191318 Those don't look like hooves to me. Point is that a tiny little feature can change, and it doesn't stop it from being what it looks like.

And, hell, by your own complaint: "the spoon like depression on the head of the penis is missing," but doesn't it make sense that when viewing it from below and to the side, you wouldn't see the depression? How exactly does that stop it from looking "exactly like a hyena penis"? And, if there is anything more, does it make it look "Too unalike"?

Slap on a bit of a dome to the tip of an equine's penis and I'm sure people would still tag it as such. Cetacean's are more featureless tapers so it's an easier tag to just slap on, but a similar thing can occur with other types too.

Species isn't really twys so it's not really equivalent. If it was, Sonic-style and animal-humanoid characters would be nearly impossible to tag and, let's face it, most furry characters would end up being tagged 'canine' or 'feline'.

I looked into it a little more and the image actually doesn't look dissimilar from upside-down and stylized representations of turtle penises.

Some of the images here are blurry, but have a similar shape.

Granted, it doesn't look much like a turtle penis, but it doesn't look much like a hyena penis either. It looks like a generic 'fantasy reptile' penis.

Don't link pictures of animal penises.
