21 Jun 2003It’s very convenient, I think, that penises (and vaginae, I assume) also serve a urinatory purpose in addition to their reproductive functions.
Otherwise it would push up the schedule for those birds’n’bees talks to about age 3 or so, with the inevitable “Mommy, what’s that thing between my legs supposed to do?” questions.
Hmm. Maybe it would be for the best.

You just posted that to get outraged comments, right? Cause you certainly got me surprised.

Re: Fish
Basically I posted that as an excuse to write “vaginae”.

Mixed Plumbing
First, Vaginae don’t have a urinatory purpose; the pee-pee is located somewhere slightly above. Lots of equipment in a cramped and inaccessible region, and pubic hair just makes it all more obscure and confusing.
Second, your point echoes something Jack Cohen brought up: that an unfortunate evolutionary plumbing mix-up has given us dirty jokes and dirty pictures and the whole notion of sex as “dirty”.
In other words, if the two functions were distinct, you could just tell the kids that “that’s for making babies” or “that’s for sex”. It wouldn’t have a negative or awkward connotation.
I hope.
