I want to know where the slang of “Member” for penis started tbh like

Who first came up with that and how can we go back in time and stop them?

same but also with the word “turgid”

member (n.)
late 13c., “sex organ” (compare Latin membrum virile, but in English originally of women as well as men), also, “body part or organ” (in plural, “the body”), from Old French membre “part, portion; topic, subject; limb, member of the body; member” (of a group, etc.),“ 11c., from Latin membrum “limb, member of the body, part,” probably from PIE *mems-ro, from root *mems- “flesh, meat” (cognates: Sanskrit mamsam “flesh;” Greek meninx “membrane,” meros “thigh” (the “fleshy part”); Gothic mimz
“flesh”). In English, sense of “person belonging to a group” is first
attested early 14c., from notion of “constituent part of a complex
structure.” Meaning “one who has been elected to parliament” is from
early 15c.

 

so it turns out “member” as in “genital” predates “member” as in “part of a group”?

this is even more fucked up
