Now that "Don't touch my junk!" has become a rallying cry, I must ask a question: What's with this youth-culture tendency to refer to male genitalia as "junk"?
Since I keep my nose to the ground, I noticed this slang innovation long before John Tyner drew his line in the sand; it seems to be a phenomenon of the last five years or so. And it's one I'd like to put on the junk heap.
If I have any junk, it won't be on my body, and it will probably end up in the trash bin. And if the TSA wants to rummage through it, hey, be my guest. It's said that you can tell a lot about a person by examining his refuse. So you can touch my junk -- but let's be a bit more careful when we lay our hands on the language, shall we?

Eh ... I don’t think it is anti-male. Its just slang. It may be a bit self-depricating ... but there are quite a few less-than-flattering slang terms for the female genetalia as well.
Then again, I’m not much for the feminist, Vagina Monologue, “love your junk”-thing either. Many people would do well not to have quite as much self-esteem ... both genitally and non-genitally related.

Because dumbass rappers found that “junk” rhymes with “trunk” as in derrier. They refer to black women who traditionally have a larger bottom than others. They like large bottoms.
I have a special drawer for junk.
That’s not it. Some young in the Black or Hispanic community refer to a woman’s big saddle butt as “junk in her trunk”. I began hearing this term at least 6-7 years ago.
In case some don’t read the whole article, I want to call your attention to this paragraph later in the article.
“Given the above, is it mere coincidence that this anti-male age sees a phenomenon whereby that which symbolizes manhood, at least physically, has come to be called “junk”? And what might we conclude about this anti-male environment’s psychological effect on recent generations of boys and young men when they will readily refer to that symbol of their manhood (in fact, a fellow’s privates are sometimes called “his manhood”) with a demeaning term? My self-image has never been so bad that I wanted to characterize part of my body as garbage.”
I think it’s a very good point.
I heard the saying “junk in her trunk” back in the mid 1990’s.
If the point were correct, then you’d expect the “junk” phrase to be highly popular among whiny, anti-male or effeminate left-wingers and others who generally denigrate males. It’s not. It’s sort of an athletic/hip-hop/young male slang more associate with being over-sexed than under-sexed. Reading anything more into it than just the latest in a long list of slang for male genitalia is wrong.
Quit making up words, and stay off my lawn, dang kids.
"My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon!"
“My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hon!”
I have an affinity for large derrieres, and I am incapable of speaking falsely...
Can any male relatives deny?
Didn’t everyone get the memo - it’s cool to sound as if you’re uneducated and from the ghetto?
I first heard it from a couple of DJs on WNEW in the late 90s as they were using Euphamisms to avoid FCC fines. It was nothing more or less than a way to say COCK
Are you sure it isn’t “junque”?
...That in the event of a young female ambulating to your locale with a very small mid-section, and an orbicular derriere presented to your visage...
I just refer to it as my second chakra.
Just tell the screener if he shakes it more than twice he’s playing with it.
I wish I had a picture of a slinky
