In fiction, men seem to always have nicknames for their penises and, slightly less pervasively, women name their breasts.

It's just that I read shit books; real people don't do this, right?

Imagine you're a writer and you want to write a sex scene. As everyone (especially your editor) knows, repetition of words is really bad stylistically. If you have an extra name for certain things that you need to mention often in these scenes, you'll be able to write much less repetitively. This is why some writers in some genres like to use thess names.

Also: I once read a study, that 16% of woman in germany have names for their titties.
Of course i compiled a list, of the most common names.
