Are human penises different than animal penises?

I woke up this morning with a unique question. It was question that made me laugh to myself hysterically. It also was very thought provoking and proved to be interesting enough to look into further detail. I posed this question to a veterinarian friend, who seemed uniquely qualified to answer it.

 

“Friend,

 

I need your opinion on something. It is important. How are human dicks different than animal dicks?

 

For example, I heard that dolphins and maybe one other mammal has sex for pleasure, besides humans. Is that true?

 

Thanks,

Josh”

 

Nope.  Sorry to break the news to you, but dicks are dicks.  Every mammal gets one for sex and pleasure.  Some of them look weird (like the sugar glider), but the basic mammalian pattern remains the same :)

“This answer is disappointing and all too cavalier”, I thought to myself. Especially when you take into account the photo that he had sent me a few weeks prior. It’s a photo of a sugar glider dick. Apparently, there was some kind of medical issue and my veterinarian friend had to perform surgery.  This, however, is how a sugar glider dick looks.

 

 

Not quite satisfied with the answer, I took to a real profession. I former member of the 4H in her state, who was awarded as runner for “Ms. Queen of Beef”. She illustrated to me that a pig phallus was significantly different that a human one. See below.

Animal wieners are gross.

Hero Worship

This leads me to the real point of this post. I’m trying to make a point a subject that Tim Ferriss calls “hero worship”. You see, Tim is always on the lookout for how he can become word class at things he enjoys. He defines world class as the top 5%. As a reference, he would put Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps in the top .001%. Top 5% may be something like the strongest person in YOUR gym.

 

The reason you can’t necessary take advice from these extraordinarily high achievers like Michael Phelps, is the same reason a veterinarian may think human penises are similar to animal penises.

From Tim Ferriss

1.The top 1% often succeed despite how they train, not because of it. Superior genetics, or a luxurious full-time schedule make up for a lot.

2.Career specialist can’t externalize what they have internalized. Second nature is hard to teach.

Essentially, if you are too close to the action, it may be more difficult to relate to those who are not. As you take your journey toward the best version of yourself, seek to view things as they are, and practice things that work.

Do not view and practice things according to the “expert”, and in some cases, do the exact opposite.
