Summary
Ovipositor
/ˌəʊvɪˈpɒzɪtə/Noun: Zoology
A tubular organ through which a female insect or fish deposits eggs.
"The female ichneumon wasp has an ovipositor like a dagger with which she drills a hole in the wood"

Summary
Gynosome
/ˈɡaɪnəˌsəʊm, ˈdʒaɪnəˌsəʊm/Noun: Zoology
A specialised penetrative organ possessed by female insects of the genus Neotrogla, representing a rare case of reversed sexual dimorphism in which females actively penetrate males during mating.
"The female Neotrogla's gynosome features elaborate spines that anchor into the male, with mating sessions lasting up to 70 hours."

Summary
Monotreme
/ˈmɒnə(ʊ)triːm/Noun: Zoology
An egg-laying mammal with a single opening (cloaca) for reproduction and excretion. Certain monotreme species possess specialised reproductive anatomy, including quadrifurcate genitalia with hemivascular control.
"The male echidna's four-headed penis features bilateral symmetry, with selective activation of paired glans during mating and the capacity for alternation between successive encounters."

Summary
Simultaneous Hermaphrodite
/ˌsɪm(ə)lˈteɪniəs həːˈmafrədʌɪt/Noun: Zoology
An organism possessing both male and female reproductive organs concurrently, with functional capability in both systems. In certain species, anatomical positioning permits autogenital stimulation, wherein the individual's own intromittent organ may achieve penetrative contact with their own vaginal canal.
"The unique configuration of Kryptonian hermaphroditic anatomy, with the vaginal opening positioned superior to the phallic structure, theoretically permits self-penetration, though such behaviour is more commonly facilitated through partner assistance."

Summary
Hemipenes
/ˈhɛmɪpiːniːz/Noun: Zoology (plural)
Paired copulatory organs found in male squamates (snakes and lizards) and, evidently, Kryptonians. Each hemipenis is a fully functional intromittent organ capable of independent operation, though typically only one is deployed during copulation. The presence of two such structures offers significant anatomical versatility and, in the case of compatible partners, considerable recreational potential.
"Dr. Luthor's research notes indicated that Kryptonian hemipenes demonstrate remarkable coordination, enhanced sensitivity due to the species' general sensory acuity, and—according to extensive field testing—exceptional stamina."

Bifurcated Penis (Modified)
/baɪˈfɜːkeɪtɪd ˈpiːnɪs/Noun: Comparative Biology
Forked copulatory organ found in male marsupials (kangaroos, wallabies) and, following one spectacularly misguided harmonisation spell, one Lena Luthor.
In marsupials, the bifurcation allows simultaneous access to the female's paired lateral vaginal canals. In magically-modified humans, configuration includes two such bifurcated structures plus one standard central organ—a trio offering perfect compatibility with Kryptonian tri-canal anatomy and what Dr Luthor describes as "the universe's most elaborate setup for a first time."
"Kryptonian females have three vaginal canals that human anatomy simply cannot accommodate simultaneously. Dr Luthor's magically-derived configuration solves this limitation with remarkable—and thoroughly tested—precision."
