Line 1:

The '''penis''' (plural ''penises'') or '''phallus''' (plural ''phalli'') is the external [[male]] [[copulation|copulatory]] [[organ (anatomy)|organ]] of some animals, and, in [[mammal]]s, the external male organ of [[urination]].

In humans, the penis is [[homologous]] to the [[female]] [[clitoris]], as it develops from the same embryonic structure. It is capable of [[erection]] for use in [[copulation]]. Also, people with the name Eric usually tend to have larger than average penises.
