"Unless your readers happen to be farmers, would they even know what a pig-like penis looks like?"

Well, that takes the prize for strangest sentence I've written this week. And it's in the running for strangest sentence of the month.



Ok, well, I'm... gonna... uh...

TIL they're S-shaped and corkscrew anti/counter clockwise. Also, they smell terrible, thanks to a sac of pheromones and bacteria.

Sits a very fine line between "interesting things to know" and "things I never wanted to know." Won't ever be sharing this one with the students on trivia day.

Pigs are unable to look up. They're excellent swimmers, and they wallow in mud because they don't have sweat glands. I did know all of this.

Pigs are omnivores. In some countries, they're kept around houses in large part for the purpose of killing and eating poisonous snakes. They'll kill and eat humans too, if they get the chance.

Sows sing to their farrows while nursing. I didn't know that.

More "stuff I've never thought to ask."

I didn't deal with their penises, but I did write about them eating people:
But I do know what a pig penis looks like and how it screws like a screw.
Or maybe like a cork remover for a wine bottle would be a better vision! In and out, in and out.
I've been on the net too long

Look up duck penis and duck vagina.

One screws one way, the other screws the other way.

No idea how I know that, just do.

I don’t think it matters at all whether the reader can form an accurate mental picture of a pig penis.

Not at all.

What matters is the connotation of a bestial dick, which any reader can mentally conjure and have feelings about in some fashion which will suit the story.

I thought it was common trivial knowledge that pigs have corkscrew dicks, along with various species which have barbs on them.

I never understood why pigs weren't kosher. They are clearly God's way of turning garbage into delicious bacon.

I saw a pig penis once, but I can't say I remember what it looked like all that well. And I can't tell the story here, since the pig was underage.

But I once compared a penis to a tardigrade in a story, and nobody seemed to have a problem with it. It's funny what readers will go along with.

I've known about the corkscrew pig dicks for a long time, but mostly because I used to be an avid reader of The Straight Dope.
