penis
Let an agent explain the anatomy and function of the penis in clinical terms, describe common conditions and care in general terms as documented by medical bodies, cover comparative anatomy, and route personal health questions to clinicians while keeping content non-explicit.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the anatomy and function of the penis in clinical terms, describe common conditions and care in general terms as documented by medical bodies, cover comparative anatomy, and route personal health questions to clinicians while keeping content non-explicit.
The external male reproductive and urinary organ of humans and many other mammals, composed of erectile tissue and the urethra, functioning in urination and reproduction, varying across species such as dogs and cats, and in humans subject to conditions treated in urology, to surgical construction as a neophallus in gender-affirming and reconstructive surgery, and in some cuisines used as food; this entry gives anatomical and clinical information only, in non-explicit terms.
What it is for: A male reproductive and urinary organ.
It can be explain anatomy and function; describe conditions generally; cover comparative anatomy; route personal questions.
