A penis is a very sensitive organ, okay? Men hold them dear for a reason. (See what I did there?)
Now imagine if men could remove a penis whenever they needed to. It'd be so convenient. No more random erections in uncomfortable places. No need to be concerned the next time you're playing with knives in the kitchen. You'd just go through life serving Ken Doll realness, and it'd be so practical and useful.
Men shared their thoughts with us after Redditor simbabeat asked the online community:
"Men, if your penis was easily detachable, what is a place or an event where you would definitely not take it with you?"
"Honestly I'd probably just leave it in my nightstand like all the time, as long as I could still pee without it."
Persies
Okay, fair. A practical man. Just make sure it stays in the nightstand!
"No need..."
"Work, honestly. No need for it there."

Judging by the stories I've heard about some workplaces... not so sure about "no need."
"Is it hard..."
"Is it erect when detached? Can I sing into it like a hair brush?"
TheMOESIAH
Ummm... perhaps?
What would you be singing?
Do we really want to know?
"Martial arts..."
"Martial arts for sure."

"I'd be..."
"I'd be open-carrying everywhere."

That's a lot of confidence you have, sir.
"No chance..."
"Any business meeting. No chance of an unexpected boner."

This works out quite well, especially if you have to stand and give presentations.
"As a grower..."
"The gym. As a grower, that is really embarrassing during certain exercises."

It would be much better to leave it in the locker before you go and work out, I think.
A sleepover..."
"A sleepover with friends. We'd probably just end up swapping them around or playing "hot potato" with them."

What a day to be able to read.
"I lose anything..."
"It would never leave my bedroom. I lose anything that's not attached."

Ah, a man who knows themselves well.
"I'd treat it..."
"I’d treat it like my car when going out for drinks and just leave it at home. Don’t have to worry about losing it, or wrecking it. Or using it while intoxicated."

So responsible! Good for you!
Turns out men are a lot more practical with their penises off than on. Who knew?
