Trichocereus bridgesii, monstrose form. Called penis cactus or toothpick cactus depending on spines. T. bridgesii contains higher levels of alkaloids, including mescaline, than the more commonly used T. Pachnoi "San Pedro". The monstrose form is said to be particularly potent, although it is slower growing.

If you read the other comments you'll find that most people here have no gendered notion of gardening. This might be a small thing, it doesn't seem like a common thing

That's fine, I'm making a joke about how men are neurotic about things I would never consider. That it is believable that a number of men find planting jalapenos borderline feminine is what is funny.
