The brain is the most important sex organ, sexual behavior experts say.
Compared with earlier generations, "they have greater expectations for sex to play a positive role in their life," says John Bancroft, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction.

Now, if you want to approach these issues from the point of view of topic-worthiness, that's one thing, but the fact that your stomach does a little flip-flop when you see an erect penis is really not something that those working to create a useful reference work should be taking into account.
By your standard, we should be promoting foreskin restoration on the statistical basis that severely circumcised genitals have dysfunction, being rough and dry during intercourse, giving a woman only brief and unfulfilling stimulation at best.

 Irigaray
Yet, Freud himself separates the female sexual organs into at least two parts, the clitoris, which he views as a little penis and the vagina, which is simply a hole that the penis goes into in order to facilitate ejaculation.
Male desire, on the other hand, is to get back to the mother's body, to have sexual relations with his mother as is evidenced in the Oedipus complex.
It is at this point that we experience a moment of deconstruction, the system has exploded due to the multiplicity and plurality within it.

Thus she attempts by every means available to appropriate that organ for herself: through her somewhat servile love of the father-husband capable of giving her one, through her desire for a child-penis, preferably a body, through access to the cultural values still reserved by right to males alone and therefore always masculine, and so on.
The negative, the underside, the reverse of the only visible and morphologically designatable organ (even in the passage from erection to detumescence does pose some problems): the penis.
While her body finds itself thus eroticized, and called to a double movement of exhibition and of chaste retreat in order to stimulate the drives of the "subject," her sexual organ represents the horror of nothing to see.

A sore or ulcer is usually present on the genital area (sex organs) when a person is infected with any of these STIs: Syphilis, Chancroid, Herpes, Granuloma Inguinale, or Lymphogranuloma Venereum.
A chancre (sore) results where the spirochaete or syphilis enters the body, usually on the sex organ.
This is followed by the appearance of a cluster of water blisters that burst, eventually leaving painful sores.

 Family Research Report - Nov 2001
While only a smattering of evidence suggests that the ‘insertor’ of the penis has contracted HIV from anal sex, there is overwhelming evidence that the rectal ‘insertees’ got their HIV from penile-anal sex.
Indeed, the practice of penile-anal sex is associated with well over 95% of all HIV infections among MSM.
By analogy then, most men who practice penile-anal sex receptively do not get rectal cancer (although perhaps as many as 30% of MSM have been infected with HIV from this behavior).

The names we come up with--clitoris, vagina, labia majora, labia minora, and whatever else might be there--do not name a single organ, nor even two distinct organs.
This is the central problem in psychoanalytic theory, and in Western cultural thought, according to Irigaray: we can't figure out how to talk about female sexuality and female bodily configurations.
Rather, vaginal female sexuality is oriented toward finding a penis--in a father/husband, in a baby, or in masculine social roles.
