In most species of animals in which there is an organ that might reasonably be described as a penis, it has no major function other than intromission, or at least conveying the sperm to the female, but in the placental mammals the penis bears the distal part of the urethra, which discharges both urine during urination and semen during copulation.

- Penis

In placental mammals, urine is drained through the urinary meatus, a urethral opening in the male penis or female vulval vestibule.

The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination.

Its length differs between the sexes, because it passes through the penis in males.

The urinary system, also known as the urinary tract or renal system, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra.

Following filtration of blood and further processing, wastes (in the form of urine) exit the kidney via the ureters, tubes made of smooth muscle fibres that propel urine towards the urinary bladder, where it is stored and subsequently expelled from the body by urination (voiding).

In placental mammals the male ejects urine through the penis, and the female through the vulva.

Vulva

The vulva (plural: vulvas or vulvae; derived from Latin for wrapper or covering) consists of the external female sex organs.

The length of the labia minora varies significantly between women: while the labia majora completely enclose the labia minora in some women (top row), in other women they protrude and are clearly visible in upright standing position (bottom row). Colloquially, these variations of the labia are also referred to as "innies" and "outies".

The clitoris is the homologue of the penis, and the clitoral hood is the female equivalent of the male foreskin, and may be partially or completely hidden within the pudendal cleft.

Pelvic pain might also occur especially during urinating and sex.

Almost all mammal penises have foreskins or prepuce, although in non-human cases the foreskin is usually a sheath (sometimes called the preputial sheath, praeputium or penile sheath ) into which the whole penis is retracted.

In rodents, the length of the prepuce is related to urine marking behavior.

Male felids are able to urinate backwards by curving the tip of the glans penis backward.

In comparison, the glans of felids is short and spiny, while that of viverrids is smooth and long.
