  1. penis love

Definitions

American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

  1. n. The male organ of copulation in higher vertebrates, homologous with the clitoris. In mammals, it also serves as the male organ of urinary excretion.
  2. n. Any of various copulatory organs in males of lower animals.

Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

  1. n. The male organ of copulation; the intromittent or copulatory organ of the male sex of any animal. The penis in the vertebrates is generally, in part at least, homologous with the organ so named in man, but not in the invertebrates; it is sometimes double, as in certain reptiles, crabs, etc. In some invertebrates the term is extended to organs which deposit spermatozoa without being intromittent. Many of the older writers on entomology included under this term all the external male organs of generation, dividing them into the phallus, or true intromittent organ, and the forceps or claspers used in copulation. The corresponding organ of the female sex in mammals is termed the clitoris. See cuts under Dendrocæla, Lepadidæ, Proteolepas, Alcippe, Balanus, Cestoidea, and Squillidæ.
