      No. The male penis does not have bones. Just soft tissue

      Although the human penis has no bone, other placental primates e.g. gorilla and chimpanzee have a penis bone called the baculum. The stiffness of human penis is usually temporary occurring only during erection and is a function of blood filling the penis, not possession of a bone.

      The human penis has no bone. However the penises of primates, such as gorillas and chimpanzees have a bone called a baculum.
