human penis
Let an agent explain the human penis in clinical, respectful language, relay anatomy, function, development, common conditions and circumcision debates from anatomy, urology and public health sources with positions attributed, route urological emergencies to emergency care, describe the named states, and distinguish the penis from the scrotum and testes, the clitoris as a homologous structure and penises of other mammals, without explicit content.
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 human penis in clinical, respectful language, relay anatomy, function, development, common conditions and circumcision debates from anatomy, urology and public health sources with positions attributed, route urological emergencies to emergency care, describe the named states, and distinguish the penis from the scrotum and testes, the clitoris as a homologous structure and penises of other mammals, without explicit content.
The external male reproductive and urinary organ in humans, consisting of the root, shaft and glans, containing erectile tissue of the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum around the urethra, which carries urine and semen, covered at the tip by the foreskin unless removed by circumcision; the registry aliases describe states such as flaccid, circumcised and uncircumcised. Circumcision for religious, cultural or medical reasons is widely practised, and its health effects and the ethics of non-therapeutic infant circumcision are debated, with positions attributed. An erection lasting more than four hours, called priapism, or penile fracture after trauma needs emergency care.
What it is for: Urination and reproduction.
It can be explain anatomy and function clinically; relay common conditions in general terms; present circumcision debates with attribution; route urological emergencies.
Distinguishing features
Erectile tissue
Urethra passage
Foreskin presence varies
Homologous to clitoris
What it looks like
Described clinically as a cylindrical organ with a shaft and glans, with or without a foreskin.
Physical character
erectile bodies: 2 corpora cavernosa, 1 corpus spongiosum note
priapism emergency threshold: more than 4 hours
WHO voluntary medical male circumcision programmes: from 2007 note - HIV prevention in some countries
How it is recognised
Human male external genital organ
Flaccid human penis, circumcised penis, uncircumcised penis
The scrotum holds the testes; the clitoris develops from the same embryonic tissue; other mammals penises differ, some with a bone
