"Biblical Hebrew does not have a word for penis. This has led two scholars (Gilbert and Zevit in the American Journal of Medical Genetics in 2001) to suggest that Eve was made out of Adam's penis bone rather than his rib (Genesis 2: 21-23). This would explain why males and females have the same number of ribs but man has no penis bone.
The biblical account also states that afterwards 'the Lord God closed up the flesh', the suggestion being that this is the 'scar' (known as the raphe) that runs down the underside of the penis and scrotum."
