Women - what do you think about men's Penis Names?

I was talking with a man recently and he referred to his penis as Little Elvis. He didn't find my comment that Elvis is dead as very funny but I enjoyed it. I didn't think a man would take a name for their penis so seriously; that most who call their penis by do so sarcastically and tongue-in-cheek. But no, he was greatly offended by my remark.

I've always found it creepy when men refer to their penises by name. I think personifying one's genitals relieve them of the responsibility of it, i.e. Taking the blame off their personal responsibility of sex by saying that "he" did it instead of him. It depersonalizes a woman by making the act less intimate as sharing time with a lover and instead making it an inadvertent threesome and a joke.

So what do you think of men naming their penises? Can you take such a man seriously or does it show a flaw in their character by them being unable to have true intimacy with a woman.

I really think it says a lot about one's personality that they can't be mature and honest with a lover. After all, this man is in his mid-to-late fifties, not in high school. He's spent a lifetime blaming the thing between his legs for making decisions thereby reprieving himself for his acts and errors.

My view is that many of us have pet names for different things in our lives whether body parts/people/other objects, so why not if the person concerned likes to do that.

Personally I wouldn't like my fella to have a pet name for his penis, although obviously "Dick" is used frequently and I don't mind that. Yes I would laugh if it was an unusual word, like Elvis or the likes.

Be interesting to see what others do (if at all) call thier penis lol

Naming one's genitals is nothing new. D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterly and her lover had names for theirs. Hers was something like Lady Jane and his was John Thomas. John Thomas became a euphemism for penises and also men who acted like dicks.

It's one thing if a couple has nicknames for each other's genitals as it becomes a little secret they share and can add to the intimacy. But I think it's quite another story when a nickname follows a man throughout his lifetime and multiple relationships and one night stands. It makes it seem like you're having sex with a penis and not the entire man, which to me, dehumanizes the act. It takes him out of the equation and takes away the intimacy I need to feel satisfied.

So what do you think of men naming their penises? Can you take such a man seriously or does it show a flaw in their character by them being unable to have true intimacy with a woman.

To me it sounds like such a male is giving in to an inflated sense of self-importance and at the same time it sounds sort of infantile as well, as if a proper word is something that should be avoided at all costs.

Note that this is not the same as using a synonym or a euphemism for a penis - without those, erotic writing would be incredibly dull and uninspired, there would be less jokes going around and far less humor and subtlety in conversations and writing.

But giving a proper name to a penis as if it were a pet or something endowed with a proper and independent sense of self-awareness? There's something wrong with that ...

@agrazier Thank you for giving words to what I was thinking but unable to find right way to say it.

Case in point: Lyndon B Johnson called his Jumbo.

Penis name joke: Why do men name their penises? They like to be on a first name basis with the one who makes all the decisions.

I prefer my genitals and those of my lovers to remain nameless. 😃

I have a name for my penis. . ."my penis" :-) Mike.

Naming your penis and referring to it by name in a conversation is pretty dumb.

It's funny in the show, but not in real life. Sorry about the poor video quality.

I call mine ' Chunku ' because of the chunk of meatus .

When it comes to body parts, I've always preferred to keep to the actual words. In joking, anything can go of course, but when things get serious, circus-like naming conventions would just turn me way off.

My hubby just calls it dick or penis but I call his, dick, penis, peens, hot juicy beef stick, beef stick and sometimes I call it a cucumber because it's real big and thick and fat like a juicy cucumber lol

Why do some call a Penis Peter :

Maybe the same reason people named Richard don't wish to be called "Dick". Don't know, just asking.

Don't know either. But there are all sorts of slang names for it, including dick and pecker.

Never understood why we couldn't call parts by their correct names.

I just think it's alliteration--Peter penis.

Peter penis poked a peck of pickled peppers?

I guess it makes more sense than "jones" or "johnson"...

Male names are one of the regular sources for penis euphemisms or slang equivalents. Dick and willy are familiar examples. It’s a long time since I heard ‘peter’. Another one, perhaps obsolete now, was ‘john thomas’.

Birds are another source.

John Thomas was from DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterlys Lover.

John thomas may have been made famous by Lady Chatterly’s Lover, but Lawrence didn’t make it up—it was first recorded in print in the 1870s, but is probably older than that, as such ‘rude’ expressions were considered ‘unprintable’.

My lady friend and I are currently on a break but she calls it Andre the Giant. If she is teasing she will explain that he only is only 'The Giant' in his head, and that is why the head is so absurdly large according to her. Hpwever she says that the Andre part still sticks because of his unique appearance

"I will name him George

I will hug him, and pet him, and squeeze him ."

Guys, I have just remembered the magnificent movie "Four rooms", where in the second episode the wife of sub-main hero claimed the names of cock. About thirty, as I remember...

My ex called his: Mr. Happy.

I always liked "Mr. Midnight".

I don't have a name for it either. However, a girl that I dated used to call my penis Herman.

I think she was just embarrassed to call it in more familiar terms. We were young. It was a long time ago. LOL

"My" cock I call 'love bone', but I do let my husband carry it with him always.

As i am brazilian here i call my penis "pica" or "pau".

This always baffled me--as a tween, when I helped my father out on the farm, I witnessed him pissing and then doing the final shake. He then told me with a grin, "I'm shakin' the dew off my lily."

In the following 45 years, I've had yet to hear or read anyone calling theirs, or someone else's penis, a lily. No mystery at all.

My soon to be ex wife should have called mine STRANGER. One of the reasons she is soon to be ex.

My Ex called his: Mr. HAPPY.

My ex called his Stanley, as in the power drill. Yeah, some “real” power there, not! We won’t discuss what BKuggs and I call his, but it’s fun!!! ??

My late husband always referred to his as "Woody". I always wondered if this influenced by fandom of Woody Allen!

The title has been changed to reflect better the OP intended question which is…

So what do you think of men naming their penises? Can you take such a man seriously or does it show a flaw in their character by them being unable to have true intimacy with a woman.
