Scientists have successfully grown penises in a laboratory and say they could be tested on humans within five years.
The organs would be used to help men who have suffered a serious injury to the region, had surgery for cancer or are suffering from a congenital abnormality.
The work is being carried out the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, North Carolina.
Scientists there are now assessing engineered penises for safety, function and durability, The Guardian reports.
It is hoped the US Food and Drug Administration will give the green light for testing on humans within five years.
Earlier this year, the same team of researchers declared they had successfully grown vaginas in a laboratory and implanted them into four teenage patients.
The new organs were given to women born with MRKH - Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a rare genetic condition in which the vagina and uterus are underdeveloped or absent.
The treatment could also potentially be applied to patients with vaginal cancer or injuries.
it is being funded by the US Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, in the hope soldiers with battlefield injuries can be helped.

Oh!! This is gona be interesting!!!
Pinging Chastity Bono.
In other news, San Francisco’s entire male population has lined up to be the first to have the new members tested on them.
What will happen, of course, is guys will be trading up to larger models akin to breast implants.
Soon to make the “Addadicktome” procedure easier!
Some people confuse their dick for their head.
These people are known as dickheads. One is known to inhabit the vice president’s mansion in D. C.
Do they come in different colors?
Pinging Bill (bent one) Clinton!
guys will be trading up
Heck, just get one of each implanted,
preferably close together...
They are going to test them for durability.
Brace yourself.
This is “Dicked” UP!
I thought 4 hours was the time limit. But 5 years? That’s gonna leave a mark.
Do they come in different colors?
Ooooooooh, I want one in Plaid, that says,
Scotland forever! Made in Scotland.
Or as I always say- think with your big head, not your little one.
” congenital abnormality. “
Yep. Not easy living with that. I look forward to this making it to mainstream medicine. Before our wedding night the wife was a bit concerned. I told her ‘Don’t worry dear, I’m like a baby”.
Well nature took its course and she nearly fainted at the sight.. “I thought you said you were like a baby!” she exclaimed in shock.
“I am” I said...”12 pounds and 22 inches!”
OK...not really..... ;)
“Do they come in different colors?”
They are color coded by size.
Me? Shorty's Bar and Gill, Albuquerque, New Mexico
I was thinking neon green...or glow in the dark!
Order a straight one for the “Bent One”
