    I see your “snakes have two penises” and raise you “kangaroos have THREE vaginas”.

    Hemipenes (and penis/intermittent organs) are really diverse in terms of size and shape. A lot of lizards and snakes have little nodules and barbs that vary from species to species. Not sure what the ornaments do, but it’s interesting. Also interesting is that having two (i.e. one on each side) potentially means that there’s a handedness in terms of the preferred side used for mating.

    Other fun facts about penises and other intermittent organs: cats and other felids have barbed penises that force ovulation in the female. Tangentially related are the pseudo penises of female hyenas.

    More fun facts: damselfly males have intermittent organs that are spoon shaped so they scrape out the sperm of rival males.

    Respond ‘cock facts’ to learn more about penises and intermittent organs.

    Respond ‘stop’ if you don’t want to learn cool shit.

        Thanks for joining penis and intermittent organ facts.

        Did you know that the “tail” of the male coastal tailed frog is actually an extension of the cloaca effectively acting as an intermittent organ?

        Reply ‘more cock’ for more facts about penises and intermittent organs.

    Not just snakes, most reptiles.

    Also common in other branches of the evolutionary tree as well, as in most sharks.

    Do they use both at the same time? For pissing? For intercourse? For the third thing? Does a snake have a favored penis? Are they corkscrew or some other unusual shape?

    I never thought I’d have so many questions (read, more than 1) about snake penis.

    I love this twist on that: “Did you know that on average, snakes have one penis. Now think about it carefully”

        No. Why do snakes have 2 penises? Just in case one misses or something?
