Years ago, before graduate school, back when I had little time to do anything but laundry and change diapers, trashy romance novels were light-weight enough to read but not greive over if you didn't get to finish them. Now the writers of those bits of yellow "literature" found some pretty silly euphemisms for penis. I don't think they ever actually wrote the word. "Manhood" was a common one. It has been about 15 years since I read many of those, so changing times may have changed the euphemisms. But I'd be willing to bet they're still practicing poetic license in naming body parts.
