And in Alaska there was something called an oolig (sp?), which is like a walrus penis bone. And we humans are stuck with descriptions similar to Napolean's genitals stored somewhere: small dried object. Jeez. How do the ladies make do with us?

I understand that better results can be achieved with a small device when employed by an expert than by a much larger one in the hands of someone with a poor technique. In any case, given that the charge and discharge times of a typical device provide only a very restricted duty cycle, the ladies apparently set more store by the secondary sexual characteristics. Such important aspects of human reproductive behaviour as a meal at a good restaurant will rapidly expose the typical walrus' lack of endowment in financial matters.....

What about a coin purse made out of a scrotal sac? I hear they sell those in Australia to tourists, made from kangaroo scrotum.
It is said that the Whites who participated in the Sand Creek Massacre made tobacco purses out of the scrotums of the Native American men they killed.
Chivington firstly had his men seize the Indians horses to prevent escape. The Indians, expecting protection, watched in surprise. The people gathered under the American flag fluttering above Black Kettles tipi, thinking this would afford them protection. Quickly, Black Kettle raised a white surrender flag on the same pole. But the soldiers ignored it and began shooting. They unloaded everything they had into the unfortunate villagers rifle, pistol and cannon fire. The Indians ran in horror. But there was little place to hide. The soldiers herded the women and children into groups and murdered them in cold blood. They then performed outrageous depravities to their corpses. In one instance a six year old girl clutching a white flag was brought down in a hail of bullets dead before she hit the ground. Babies brains were dashed out against trees. Bodies were scalped and ripped open with knives. Tobacco pouches were made out of mens private parts.
First, the penis bone (the baculum or os penis) of a walrus is about the right size and shape to make a nice club. They have a good heft and would probably do considerable damage. I handled the only one I've laid hands on quite gently though. It had wonderful Inuit carving at both ends and a hand grip that was well polished.
Second, somewhere in my readings, I came across a reference to the warden of one of the territorial prisons in the Western U.S. (Arizona, I think) who used to remove the scrotum from all men who were hanged in the prison. He had them tanned and turned into tobacco pouches. It's probably been 40 years or more since I read it, but I may be able to track down the reference through an uncle who's never forgotten a word he's read about the Old West. I'm sure it was in a book that I borrowed from him.

How fascinating, I would love to read that article. I wonder if that is something that would be possible (read allowable) if (read when) I have my own scrotum removed down the road. And who would do that work, a taxidermist or tanner? I could only imagine the phone conversations while searching for someone to do that for me.
I remember reading that, after a battle in the Middle Ages in Central Asia, the winning commander had the scrotums removed from the enemy dead, and the sacs were tanned and made into a tent. Don't know how big a tent. The name that comes to mind regarding this, is Tamerlane, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing he would have done. Don't remember where I read the story.
