Having had a penis for over five decades there are times I still am very self-aware of it, while other times (maybe for most of my day) I really don't think about it. Kind of like any other body part, such as one's nose. You are glad it's there to serve a purpose but also forget about it most of the time. Yet at other times, I might touch it or give it a squeeze for no reason during the day, particularly if I get a spontaneous erection. I think a lot of men have the unconscious need to manipulative their dicks through their clothing periodically, given the number of guys one might catch playing pocket pool unaware.
Since I almost always wake up in the morning with my dick at its hardest, this is one of the times I'm very much aware of it, yet it very, very rarely goes beyond that as for a lot of men, erection and libido can be two separate things and despite it sometimes being hard enough to be uncomfortable, I don't really feel in the mood to have sex or touch and stroke it when first being aroused from slumber. Going to the bathroom brings it down immediately, proving it is more a response to a full bladder than actual horniness. In fact, my wife will sometimes grab it teasingly and then tell me to go pee, knowing that it's not really hard because I want to do something and that urinating will make it deflate.
As far as using the bathroom, having a penis is one of those things I love about being a man as it allows me to do my business and leave without much muss or fuss. Pull it out, do a few shakes, zip up and I'm on my way, minimizing both the time I have to remain standing in the piss puddles around most urinals and worry about restroom voyeurs (spend enough time around here and it's hard not to be paranoid
).
Not having to worry about sitting down on a public toilet just to pee and waste time decontaminating the seat prior to said sitting, which could amount to several times a day, makes me feel bad for women who have no choice.
Of course, sometimes, having a penis has its disadvantages and as a result sometimes makes me envy women and their less prominent bits. One is in having to always take care that I wear the kind of clothing that does not highlight it. With the exception of the sexually charged environment of a sex club or party, I am not an exhibitionist by nature and very self-conscience that the twig and berries are not on display in vanilla or public settings. This is not always an easy thing to do, even with clothes that I think are somewhat baggy, but I do try even if it can't always be 100% helped.
Another drawback is in having to be aware of the vulnerability of my male parts, especially around situations where it could be an issue. Getting hit in the balls or having one's penis slam against something is no fun to say the least and another area that as proud as I sometimes am to have this obvious and fair-sized tool, sometimes it's a little too out there for comfort. Even sex can be hazardous if one is too enthusiastic, particularly with certain positions.
I also love the fact, that unlike with women, my orgasm is visual and prominent with a dick's ability to pump out cum, yet at the same time, I am sometimes jealous of a lot of women who make it up by having multiple orgasms rather than being totally spent for hours or even days after just one.
Hope that answered your question and offered some enlightenment
