32 Marks of the Buddha

Started going over the 32 Marks of the Buddha. You can see them all here: http://bit.ly/4ptE8W

While most of the characteristics are complimentary (golden skin, hair is blue-black and curls clockwise in rings), number 10 is a bit shocking:

10. His sexual organs are concealed in a sheath. (Pali: kosohitavatguyho).

I figure this could mean that A) the Buddha isn't circumsized or B) that he has the mutant ability to retract his penis into his body somehow.

Option "B," although freakish, seems very practical after closer consideration. Many times I could have benefited from the ability to retract my penis (and testicles) into some sort of sheath--preferably something as hard as a turtle shell.
