Well, I think most would find having two penises fairly new, too. But no, that isn't the distinction of my own, at least. I'm more insectile than reptile. As such, I have an ovipositor in addition to the rest of my genitalia.

[it's easier to be frank when she's similarly so—Luke doesn't have any particular discomfort around sex and its terminology, but other people do tend to.]
