Judge
Rules That Scrotum is a Sex Organ
1991 -- In December, California Court of Appeals Judge
Arthur J. Scotland, deciding that the scrotum is legally a
"sexual organ," explained his decision by writing, "As
a matter of common sense, a penis without the testes and scrotum is
like a flintlock rifle without a flint and flashpowder, or a bow
without a string and arrow." (In a dissenting opinion, Judge
Frances Newell Carr wrote that the only male sexual organ is the
penis.)
