Penis
primary sexual organ of male animals / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about penises of animals in general. For the human organ, see human penis.
A penis (plural penises or penes /-niːz/) is the main sexual organ of most male animals. It is used to inseminate females (or hermaphrodites) during sex (copulation).[1] In some animals, the penis is also used to urinate.
Penises are found in many animal species. They are found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Penises are not found in every species of animal. In those species where the male does have a penis, the penises are not homologous. This means that it evolved separately in each species.
