Geoff:
Most of the euphemisms for a gentleman's equipment are 
fairly harmless ones; they wouldn't make me blush and I'm 
not one for swearing. After all, if we can cope with a well-known 
West Country hill called Brown Willy without too much 
sniggering..... Curiously, the one which I find silly which I think
I have only seen in US English  is "manhood" which for some 
reason makes me chuckle.

No, the words which are normally bleeped and ones at which I 
personally take umbrage if I hear them are the f-word, the 
c-word and the s-word.
