What Do We Really Know About Dinosaurs' Cocks?

It's unnerving to run up against the limits of our understanding. Topics that we feel are well understood - if not by ourselves then at least by mankind as a species - are often more mysterious than we imagine. So it is with dinosaurs. Respected minds in the field of dinosaurology like Steven Spielberg and Kenneth Branagh have gone a long way towards explaining the mysteries of their existence, but the one key question remains largely unanswered - what were their cocks like? Were they very big? Surely they were very, very big? How could they not have been absolutely enormous - particularly on a brontosaurus?

Of course, some people try to pretend that these issues are well understood, but a short examination of the provenance of such knowledge reveals a tissue of assumption and wishful thinking. Penises, howsoever mighty and scaly they may be, are not evidenced in the fossil record. What knowledge we can claim to have is deduced by looking at the cocks of dinosaurs' living descendants, specifically birds and crocodilians. Close study of these creatures suggests that dinosaurs may have kept their penises inverted internally within a structure called the 'cloaca', a kind of combined anus and urethra. To put it another way, they turned their cocks inside out and stuck them up their arses. If this model is correct, and years of squeezing crocodiles until their cocks pop out suggest that it is, then we must face the dismaying conclusion that dinosaurs' cocks were probably quite modest in their proportions.

How did this issue arise? Recently I have been investigating a pet theory of my own related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is clear to even the most misguided of dinosaurologists (such as Sir Richard Attenborough) that the anatomy of the T Rex suggests strong aggressive tendencies. Perhaps, I reasoned, it could be established that this situation arose through the T Rex's anatomical inability to have a wank, and consequently chill out a bit.

Can anyone help cast any more light on this topic?

Ducks don't wank, and some of them seem quite chilled. Think again.

They do say 'wank' quite a lot though: 'waaannnnk'. It's probably a meditation technique like Sting does.

So David Icke's reptile baddies are really just consumed with penis envy.

Oh, they're quite chilled are they?

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MallardWhen they pair off with mating partners, often one or several drakes will end up "left out". This group will sometimes target an isolated female duck — chasing, pestering and pecking at her until she weakens (a phenomenon referred to by researchers as rape flight), at which point each male will take turns copulating with the female. Male Mallards will also occasionally chase other males in the same way. (In one documented case, a male Mallard copulated with another male he was chasing after it had been killed when it flew into a glass window.)

Well they're not exactly up tight, let's put it that way.

If only we could ask them: "D'yer ass-dick park?"

This would explain why many dinosaur names end in 'saurus' - presumably derived from 'sore arse'.

I always thought that birds didn't have cocks, merely cloaca and/or pseudo-penises. I was surprised to read that some birds do;
the Argentine Lake Duck in particular is blessed with a rather impressive member.

Huh. Where's the girth? That duck's cock is rubbish.

It's like one of those planes that refuel while in flight.
