Gentlemen,
"It" is a gender neutral pronoun. Pronouns require antecedents to indicate what they reference. The sentence in question contains no antecedent for "it" and therefore could mean any number of inanimate objects. For you all to suggest that "it" refers to male genitalia is quite shortsighted.
Hope my grammar lesson doesn't get everyone too flaccid.
This brings up a good question. How many names are there for "it"?
I'll start us off: Herman the One Eyed German.
