They sell "bull pizzles" at my local Chinese grocery, 99 Ranch Market so 
I would say the answer is Yes.
It is also a fine Elizabethan insult, as seen in Shakespeare's Henry IV, 
Act 2, Scene 5:

1H4 2.5.  248   SIR JOHN 'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried
1H4 2.5.  249  neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish - O, for
1H4 2.5.  250  breath to utter what is like thee!

Google also shows it as a doggy chew toy, which idea is enough to make 
ME want to cross my legs and myself a female!

 Aforementioned market also carries "Rooster Fries," which sounds like 
we've figured out which part is the Chicken McNugget.  <GGG>
