Does anyone here think an erect penis is the equivalent of a loaded weapon? **EDITED New Info**

ie, a man looks at boobs and gets excited.. do you think his penis getting erect during a situation like this makes his penis a loaded weapon?
I don't think it could be considered one. It takes too much time to re-load. OK, that was a joke....
mea culpa!
I am going to edit this because more info has come to my attention. My thread here in HoF was in response to an original post in the Mens Group. When I posted this thread, the only context was that of his Original Post, I had no idea of what he was speaking until he made himself clear in replies in that thread. In which, he was actually referring to something a rape victim posted in GD about a penis being used as a weapon in rape.
The original OP was accusing women, of calling an erect penis a loaded weapon because men got excited looking at boobs (which is quite ludicrous on its face). And then he admits he is referring to something a woman who was raped said about an erect penis..... What a twisted thing to do and say!
How sick is that?
I thought about locking this up, to not play in that sand box. But then I thought better of it, to try and give some fuller context to something that happens all to often in that group.
See the OP here:

See his reply that he was speaking about a rape victim, here:

= new reply since forum marked as read
from a regular participant of a more male-focused group on DU.
Next step a big GD thread asserting this is the reigning philosophy of this group. As Mark Twain so adeptly stated, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes". 
(it takes too much time to reload) 
...and on the other hand, the warm touch of my lovely woman does not a thing for my guns.
No equivalency in my case.
Pry bars and cold hands don't generally work very well!
can we add another 25 to that 5?I certainly do.
But you're right that this isn't the best format for telling stories.
Thanks for the blues tune.
and shook my head in wonder. Did not click on it, was not interested in what the Men's group thought of loaded penises.
Umm, the answer to your question is no although I know there are some who like to think that is true.
No way! 
We are trying to take away DU men's penises?
OMFG that has to be a joke alert.
OMFG holy shit
This thread is full of win.
Holy crap!
This thread delivers like DOMINOS!
and saw the poster name and the title and burst right out loud laughing and scared my dog.
I am very tempted to read it all, or maybe not.
lordy lordy. sometimes you really do have to feel sorry for the dears.
In "Detachable Penis," frontman John S. Hall recites a deadpan monologue in which he portrays the owner of the eponymous penis. Apparently a resident of Manhattan's East Village, the narrator awakens one morning with a bad hangover to discover that his penis is missing again. He searches his apartment, calls the location of the party he attended the night before, and queries numerous acquaintances, but is unable to recover his penis.
Depressed, he goes to the Kiev Restaurant for breakfast, and afterwards, while walking "down Second Avenue, toward St. Mark's Place," discovers his penis for sale "on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven." The man selling the penis wants $22 for it, but the narrator is able to "talk him down to seventeen." He takes his penis home, washes it off, and reattaches it. With his penis back in place, he is "happy again: complete."
In 2013, researchers discovered that the idea of a detachable penis is not novel in the animal world. They discovered that the sea slug Chromodoris reticulata sloughs off its penis after sex, then grows a new one within approximately 24 hours.
[edit]Musical content
The music of "Detachable Penis" consists largely of a distorted, delay-treated electric guitar riff backed by organ and drum grooves with brief lead guitar improvisation. For most of the track, the titular phrase is sung with an interval of approximately four seconds, or more accurately two 4/4 bars, the length of the guitar riff. The riff provides a harmonic ground of C#min - G Maj - Amaj, which remains unchanged throughout the song.

Lyrics:
I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.
[background singing begins: "detachable penis" over and over]
This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
and the next morning I can't for the life of me
remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.
Sorry, just had to.
Glad you enjoyed!
My best friend knows some great music! He has a whooping collection of CD's. i keep Bob Rivers Christmas in the car all year, just to find a laugh on a day when it's needed.
Good question!
This thread had me scaring the cat. 
And Detachable Penis! Been a long time since I've heard that song.
Whew, that's a good note to end the night on. Thanks y'all.

...you know, I *almost* posted here that a rape victim would have a very real reason to equate a penis with a weapon. I didn't want to open that can of worms in the middle of this rather lighthearted thread or become the next target of DU bullshit.
Once again we have an example of some mens' biggest complaints being hurt feelings, in comparison with people who have experienced the trauma of rape and other physical abuse.
Yeah, our collective suffering is really funny, guys. Continue to laugh it up.
