There’s two more in Australia
I assure you there are more than two more
I’m not surprised, but google maps wouldn’t show me any more.

By Gis and by Saint Charity,
Alack, and fie, for shame!
Young men will do ’t, if they come to ’t.
By Cock, they are to blame.
-Hamlet,Act 4 Scene 5
Modern rewrites usually change “Cock” to “God”, but since Ophelia is singing about being seduced the double entendre is obvious.

I’m pretty sure that “cock” for penis goes back to the 1600s in English.

The chowder is extra creamy.
Dildo is a small place. The only vaguely suggestive streets I could find were Ballfield Road and Pumphouse Road.

There it is again.
Perhaps fart jokes are more suited for American audiences
