New studies of barnacle sex sheds light on the evolution of genitalia. That is the focus of research being performed by Christopher Neufeld of the University of Alberta, Canada, and his colleague, Richard Palmer, of Palmer Labs. Barnacles absolutely can change the size and shape of their penises to suit their environment. When ocean waters are calm, barnacles have longer genitalia, when rough, they can make their members shorter and stouter. 

“Barnacle penises are retractable and are not always easy to observe. It’s hard to get barnacles to extend their penises on demand in the lab,” Neufeld said.

No where in this report, do they say where all this research is headed, but I can see it coming (pun intended). Not only will you be able to pick up a muscle magazine and see ads for little blue pills, but for those individuals at risk with blood pressure and heart problems – Eureka! Barnacle therapy. Now, your member will be able to reach tall buildings in a single retractable bound. Remember, you read this at TrendHunter first.

In the peculiar world of barnacle sex, shape matters just as much as size. To cope with changing tides and a sedentary lifestyle, the gnarly crustaceans have evolved penises that are eight times the length of their bodies—the longest relative to body size of any animal. (news.nationalgeographic)
