I need a romantic word for "penis", dammit. I can't find one.

There are even instances where you can get away with "him" for penis and it's perfectly clear that you're not, y'know, talking about the whole dude: "She took him into her hand." That sort of thing.

I've noticed that before as a potential alternative that doesn't always fall into silly or crude.

You don't want to be, like, "She looked down at his shaft."

Thanks to you I'm going to be thinking about that line and cracking up ALL DAY. It'll randomly come out in conversations: "So I went to Albertsons and she looked down at his shaft."

Looking at this again now, I can't believe I didn't use my shaft icon when I made that comment. I was remiss. I fail at life.
