think with one's penis
Hormones override judgment
To think with one's penis is to let sexual desire override rational judgment—making decisions based on attraction rather than sense.
The phrase implies a man's libido has hijacked his brain: He wasn't thinking with his head, he was thinking with his penis.
Usually disparaging, suggesting foolishness or poor impulse control.
