Spinal Tap’s “Love pump” would get my vote.

Always the gentleman you note that Jon came second…..

I'd forgotten that one. There's more (much more) here. (Check out the "See also")

And of course, lamely metaphorical: 7) Manhood.

So I did. There’s probably 6) (humorous) – nob, as well. In fact, I think the list could go on for quite some time if one had the stamina to do so. However, I definitely feel that “old chap” catches the spirit of your work-in-progress perfectly.

You left out 5) (absurd) – todger.

Actually this is a difficult issue. In almost all circumstances a graphic description is not required, but on occasion it may become necessary. Unfortunately there is not much of a range of options. I’ve managed to get away with “old chap” so far, but I don’t think that will cut the mustard (or gentleman’s relish, perhaps) in a more serious work. Each word, as you point out, has its own connotations.

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to express my horror and disgust with the use of foul language in the above post. This is not the sort of thing I want to be confronted with when I read my computer over the breakfast table. You may rest assured that I shall not permit my servants to read this post.

There is a time and place for smut, and the internet is not it.

Disgusted,

Tunbridge Wells.
