    Wow… some enterprising organics supplier should sieze the gap in the market!

    agreed, i’d seriously consider the piercing to wear the hardware.

    Wow, now that’s sexy. I’d love to see pix of this being worn. Yum yum.

    That is freaking awesome.

    That is seriously cool. I wish we had something for size comparison. It seems a little large for “active” use.

    Things like this make me realize that if I had a penis, it would be more metal than penis. *Sigh of jealousy*

  11. vernacular on July 30th, 2006 at 9:24 pm:

    I agree with nurse gracer!

    I’m curious as to the purpose of the wooden cover. I know that some tribes use penis sheaths for the sake of modesty (I think Indonesian tribes?); is this for the same function, or is purely decorative? I’d love to know more about the history and traditions associated with this style of genital covering.

    now my little guys helmet has a helmet… priceless… also reminds me of the King Missle song, Detachable Penis… pure greatness

    So i could cover my splitted head - would be fine sometimes!

    If anyone is interested you can sometimes find these pieces of traditional ampallang jewelery from Borneo on Ebay. They are most likely carved from tropical hardwoods. Very cool stuff!
