naming that special member? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Do guys really name their respective penises? Why?

The whole concept never occurred to me seeing that it is part of my body. Technical terminology, euphemisms, colloquialisms, sure, but proper nouns ...

I'd like to hear what ECers have to say about this.

Wired106 · 21st Apr 2008, 09:21 PM

lol I don't. I think that is a joke. I don't think people actually do it. They just say it to friends as a joke, no one is serious about that...

Vampyrecat · 21st Apr 2008, 09:43 PM

welll I dunno...the things I've heard through the bathroom wall when My brother thinks I'm asleep....

truly, he scares me sometimes...and not just cos he's a thug either.

joeyconnick · 22nd Apr 2008, 02:04 AM

I think it's completely moronic but I know guys who have done it. I was involved with a guy once who called his "Mr. Happy." Which is kinda hilarious in a way except he was serious about it.

I'm sorry... my body parts are just that: part of me, so no I'm not going to anthropomorphise them by giving them names.

Plus I think it just encourages guys especially to think that they aren't fully control of themselves because it's their dicks that are doing the thinking, when of course that is so totally not true. People are so desperate to deny accountability these days they'll think of anything.

"Oh no... Mr. Happy made me do it!"

davo-man · 22nd Apr 2008, 02:05 AM

Well my mates named theirs, but just as jokes, like Timmy and the Twins, Bobby and the Balls...that kind of thing. But nothing serious

**Maddy** · 22nd Apr 2008, 03:49 AM

Speaking as a girl, I named my boobs, but only as a joke. You see, our school song includes the line "pride and glory on our chests". So they're named Pride and Glory.

22nd Apr 2008, 03:59 AM

No, i haven't named mine

I don't see why you'd need to :S

22nd Apr 2008, 04:01 AM

Yes, only as a joke, that would be pretty scary otherwise...

Jeimuzu · 22nd Apr 2008, 04:31 AM

He has the same name as me. :P

Fiorino · 22nd Apr 2008, 04:38 AM

I did once, but just for fun.
Otherwise would be a bit odd.

You have a school song?! I never had a school song! Obviously I've been robbed.

**Lexington** · 22nd Apr 2008, 11:16 AM

about the breasts. When my partner sees a woman with a name tag on her chest, he always says "And what did you name the other one?"

HAHA! And yes, a guy naming his thingy is slightly odd, in my opinion. Incidentally, I haven't named my boobs.

Joey · 22nd Apr 2008, 12:58 PM

Yes... yes I have named my jounts for a period of time. I called the package "Apples" .... as in "Bobbing for-"

It was a joke at a party where we all went around asking if we could name our pieces anything, there was Leviathan, The Great White Whale, John Johnson. Nobody but my brother understood mine until I explained it to them... we're just one the same wavelength like that

TriBi · 22nd Apr 2008, 02:24 PM

Er...no.

Unless (the obvious) 'Dick' counts?

Orion · 22nd Apr 2008, 03:09 PM

Well... I used to call it 'the little sargeant' and it will be promoted depending on it's usefulness xD (I'm not taking it serious but it's a fun thing to do)

Zak · 22nd Apr 2008, 03:22 PM

LMFAO Mauro!!

I only named it for a joke to my friends!!! It was called, ahh what was it called again *scrathes head*...oh yah, Mr. Bigglesworth and his worthy sons! (My friends laughed so hard, mike pee'd) lol

MonsieurGodiva · 22nd Apr 2008, 03:24 PM

I've never done this before, although several of my female friends named their breasts as a joke on one occasion.

**Lexington** · 22nd Apr 2008, 04:02 PM

Oh, never did answer the question. I never named mine, or anyone else's. My partner had a name for mine for awhile, but I don't think the name would be very appropriate for this forum.

Lex

22nd Apr 2008, 04:34 PM

Not at all.
1) because it's just stupid.
2) the name just won't be original (I'll probably end up calling it Bob)
3) why do you need to name your dick?
