replies: text: The article does actually cover this, both in the lede ("in the placental mammals the penis bears the distal part of the urethra, which discharges both urine during urination and semen during copulation") and in the article body. Possibly this function could do with a little more discussion, though we prefer to use encyclopaedic language, which 'pee out of' isn't. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

message: I believe this page should include a reference to the page Genital modification and mutilation as the page Vagina does too.
The fact that the word "mutilation" isn't even on this page is absurd I think, despite there being a section on "circumcision" which uses a word that I think is not WP:NPOV "genital alteration". Wallby (talk) 13:18, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: To compare, the page Vagina has a whole heading which for the most part is about mutilation.. Vagina#Influence on modification. Wallby (talk) 13:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a page Human penis which does include a link to Genital modification and mutilation, however, the See also heading on this page contains several links that are also solely about the human penis and seem less directly relevant than genital moditication and mutilation.

message: currently: 
A penis (/ˈpiːnɪs/; pl.: penises or penes) is the primary sexual organ that male animals use to inseminate females (or hermaphrodites) during copulation. Such organs occur in many animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, but males do not bear a penis in every animal species. Furthermore, penises are not necessarily homologous.
The term penis applies to many intromittent organs, but not to all. As an example, the intromittent organ of most Cephalopoda is the hectocotylus, a specialized arm, and male spiders use their pedipalps. Even within the Vertebrata, there are morphological variants with specific terminology, such as hemipenes.
In most species of animals in which there is an organ that might be described as a penis, it has no major function other than intromission, or at least conveying the sperm to the female, but in the placental mammals, the penis bears the distal part of the urethra, which discharges both urine during urination and semen during copulation.
For insert somewhere:
A penis is an intromittent organ found primarily in male animals. It functions as the main sexual organ used for internal fertilization during copulation. While not all male mammals have a penis (e.g., monotremes), it is a defining characteristic of the vast majority. Placental mammals can discharge urine in addition to semen, while the penis is exclusively used for intromission in other animals. Drocj (talk) 06:45, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
