How long does it take plaster to set? To make plaster body part casts, you don’t set your part in the plaster. You use artist’s alginate to make your negative. Its more pliable and sets in 5-10 minutes. The plaster is poured into the alginate mold, and takes about 20 minutes. I found a tutorial on casting your testicles. These guys had to do this as part of their research on sperm, and thought the knowledge they gained along the way should be shared.

If what you want is a sex toy instead of an art cast, then plaster is not the way to go. You can make an exact copy of a penis you know and love with the Clone-A-Willy Kit. Clones can be made of rubber, with or without a vibrator, chocolate, or candlewax. You can purchase glow-in-the-dark powder to mix in with the rubber. And they also have a Clone-A-Pussy Kit.

Homemade Sex Toys has step-by-step instructions for making your own toys, male and female, plus sex toy information and links. For those who are more technologically-inclined, Symtoys has several projects for making your own electronic sex toys.

The groupie post led to more discussion on celebrity sex. Groupie Confessions has stories of more modern-day groupies and the celebrities they “know” (in the Biblical sense). Its good they “know” them, because I don’t even know who these celebrities are!

The Bulge Report collects pictures and reports on the penis size of celebrities from movies and TV, sports, and politics. There’s a free news area and a paid area with more explicit photographs. I like their List of the Hung, a tag cloud of celebrity names. The bigger the package, the bigger the print! Right now, two baseball players have the biggest print. Hmmm, I wonder why.

Milton Berle’s penis came up because you hear about how big it was supposed to be (estimated around eleven inches). A superstar comedian in the 1930s and 40s, Berle died in 2002 at the age of 93. With the passage of years, that sort of claim starts to sound like an urban myth. From what I’ve read, its all true. Borscht-belt comedians who were in a position to know all gave Berle his props, but few of his contemporaries are with us today. There is a website devoted to Milton Berle’s penis, with lots of links. There’s a blog, too!

Forrest Tucker told Mamie Van Doren that he was eleven inches, according to her Bedtime Stories page. Scroll about halfway down for her two entries about penis size, which are in agreement with mine (except for the first-hand celebrity experiences). Anecdotal evidence from decades ago indicate that Forrest Tucker was really big, but not as big as Milton Berle.

I didn’t find much on Roddy McDowell’s penis size, outside of rumors, so finding a witness is a project for another day.

Next time we do a podcast, I’ll stop and think before I say “Hey, I’ve seen a website where... “ or “I’ll look that up.”
