Having been born a girl and never played doctor growing up, the first time I got a really up close and personal look at a tallywhacker in action was in November 1969 when I was a freshman at UT. (I was quite naive at the time, as you have probably surmised.)
Over time though I paid attention to the unique array of penises that I saw in those 13 years between the start of college and when I married.
Some were big and some were small, and some were so tiny you could barely see them at all. (That kinda sounds like a Dr. Seuss book for grownups.)
I read this medical explanation of just how they work; and seeing what the medical terminology actually is, it’s a good thing that over time some slang words were developed for that “very special part of a man’s body“.
If there wasn’t slang, you’d have to say- “Oh baby, what a big corpora cavernosa you have! Give it to me!” or “Your tunica albuginea feels great.” Well I don’t know about you, but I’d just feel weird saying all that.
Anyway, no matter what you call it, it always works the same, or is supposed to anyway. But for those of you that still might be a little confused about the mechanics of tallywhackers and are too embarrassed to ask, I remembered a scene from a movie that you will find both humorous and educational.
This is what they should’ve shown us in 8th grade health class. (I would’ve known more than I did when I went to college.)
Watch it all and take notes; there will be a quiz later.
(Just ignore the Japanese subtitles, unless of course you’re Japanese.)
After watching all that, it’s a miracle it ever works at all! Men can be so complicated.



All it takes is a little practice alone.
I knew you guys always figured it out somehow. I just always assumed there was some type of operating manual that only guys could see.
Tallywhacker !! That is what it was called when I grew up. That or Mr. Hoo Hoo.
It is something I have asked my DH more than once.. how do you walk around with those things? All that aside, there are times when I envy man for getting the penis. Like when we are camping and I have to pee in the woods. Guaranteed to wet the inside of the leg, men just pee, shake and tuck back in. No muss, no fuss.
Hi Holly! I’m so glad you’re here. I was trying to contact you to ask you if I could put you on my blogroll. Then I just did it anyway. You have seen the You Go Girl, haven’t you?
Buy one of them and your days of wet pant legs will be behind you!
