the Random House Dictionary of Americal Slang, Vol I cites p 60:
bacon n 1 the penis -- usu considered vulgar < it isn't

vulgar: 'bacon' 'penises' or this usage: JAR>
make bacon ... to copulate <page 61.
The Cassell Dictionary of Slang, London on p 43 cites:
bacon n ....3 the penis
bacon sandwich n [20c] the vagina
Someone who saw the first Lolita film at a college cinema reports

Keep up the fine work.
