So I was just curious as to what other Americans call their children's private parts. In Denmark we have specific names we use when we talk to our children, but I only know of penis and vagina in English.
Do you use other names that are appropriate for children? Some people get offended when you use the medical terms?

It sounds to me like your friends are severely repressed. "Penis" is not a bad or offensive word. You can call it "pee pee", "weiner", "schlong" or "roast beef on rye" but you're still talking about a dick.
