When I went to the catacombs in Paris, it was unreal how many of the skulls had dicks drawn on them.
I suppose once they’ve been piled ornately, the ship has already sailed on desecrating a corpse?

Don’t know why. But it’s clearly a strong urge. At my daughters school there used to be a drawer hanging off the bench in the biology lab. Inside the drawer generations of students had drawn penises. A drawer full of penises. Then there was a new Biology teacher and she objected to the penis-filled drawer, so she painted over the inside of the drawer in white. Someone wrote “blank canvas” and drew a penis. Many more penises followed. So the teacher took the drawer away. Now they draw the penises on the brackets where the drawer used to hang.

They're super easy to draw, are easily recognizable, and transcend language barriers. Drawing it and knowing someone who sees it might chuckle. It makes a statement that, instead of writing something profound, you chose to make the world's easiest joke.
TLDR: haha pipi funny

Take a look at original Roman graffitis (not "Romane eunt domus"), you will see A LOT of penises drawn.
Even the very first human graffitis were crude depictions of penises and vaginas.
I think it's hardwired in our brains.

I has a classmate in 2nd grade that got suspended 6 times in one year for drawing tits on everthing. Desk, papers, notebook, textbooks, chalkboard. The kid just drew tits fucking everywhere, he was like compulsed to do so.
So the kid moved the next year, never saw him again, but in 6th grade I needed a book report book so I went to the library. I pulled a book that looked interesting and inside the front cover, you guessed it, tits. And I knew immediately it was from him. Exact same tits. So I grabbed the next book, and the next, and the next... Probably almost the entire row on that case had tits inside the cover. He must have stood there for five minutes and just drew tits during library time back in second grade. I laughed so fucking hard, maybe the most I've ever laughed in my entire life.
His name was Robert. Robert, if you're out there reading this, thanks for the laugh bro. I hope you're not a sex offender or anything now! Cheers!

When I was a little kid I kind of had this problem. Not even that big of a deal, something like 8% of kids do it but whatever. For some reason I don’t know why, I would just kind of sit around all day and draw pictures of dicks. I’d sit there for hours and draw dicks. I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t touch pen to paper without drawing the shape of a penis. Here I am just a little kid and I can’t stop drawing dicks to save my own life. In the classroom is where I did the majority of my illustrations. I was very secretive about this whole dick operation I had going on. Even I thought it was fucking crazy. Imagine what everyone else would think. So I would stash all my dick drawings in this Ghostbusters lunchbox that I had. Turns out someone found out and told on me and she rats me out to the principal. The principal finds this Ghostbusters lunchbox dick treasure chest and he fucking flips out. He calls in my parents. Turns out this principal is some religious fanatic and he thinks I’m possessed by some dick devil. My parents make me see the therapist and he is asking me dick questions. My parents made me stop eating foods shaped like dicks. No hot dog no Popsicles. Do you know how many foods are shaped like dicks? Like the best kind.

I'd think most people are just trying to maintain a child-like playfulness about themselves, hehe... but yeah phallic symbolism and stuff goes really deep.

Because someone has to do it. 8===D~
I've taken more to writing obscenities in cursive though. I work in a bleak metal fabrication shop. It's great to see someone's tired, dirty face go from brief confusion to a warm smile or even an involuntary chuckle when they see Poopy Butthole or something randomly written somewhere in pretty cursive.
I think many draw dicks for the same reason.

I liked to draw penis on my lesbian classmates papers. She was my best friend and I did it to annoy her. In reverse she wrote “ I love vaginas “ on my homework the day the teacher collected them.
