I would suggest reading up on some of the more... interesting myths told by Amerindians. Erdoes and Ortiz (et al) has a wonderful book.

Lets just say that Coyote's penis figures VERY prominently in many of them. One might say it has a whole myth cycle of its own. Trickster Tales is an excellent work and a fine memorial for Prof Ortiz.
