    What about erect penises ? (penii?)

    I don't think I have ever seen a fully erect penis in even an art house movie, let alone a main stream one.

    And therein lies a lot of the issues I suspect. Fully erect penises are an unambiguous in-your-face sign of sexual arousal and desire - that just won't do. Flaccid penises just look silly :) and don't particularly appeal to men or women, except as an object of humour. So you're unlikely to see a penis unless its for comedic effect.
