        Quite a number of mammals have penis bones. Humans are actually the weird ones for not having one.

      Another intriguing implication of the difference between circumcised and intact males is the question of self-cuckoldry. Put another way, is it possible (short of artificial insemination) for a women to become pregnant by a man she never had sex with? We think the answer is “yes.”
