1991 -- In December, California Court of Appeals Judge Arthur J. Scotland, deciding that the scrotum is legally a "sexual organ," explained his decision by writing, "As a matter of common sense, a penis without the testes and scrotum is like a flintlock rifle without a flint and flashpowder, or a bow without a string and arrow." (In a dissenting opinion, Judge Frances Newell Carr wrote that the only male sexual organ is the penis.)
