It's an easy fix, really. Not "every muscled thigh" but "each muscled thigh." That would make it slightly purple prose, but not leave the reader with the impression that you have to count the thighs.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Maybe she keeps losing count of the thighs because they're so gosh darned perfect.

I hate it when that happens.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
From what I recall, Michael is a fucking tripod, so perhaps therein lies the confusion.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Vonnie! For shame! Have you forgotten anatomy 101? Penii are not firmly muscled. They are spongey tissue and lots of blood vessels.

And they don't have thighs. I hope.

I have a feeling that the author of the Golf Cart Epic is not overly concerned with anatomical accuracy.
Plus, I burned my anatomy books in glee after I was done with them. (OK, not really. I sold them for booze money.)
And they don't have thighs. I hope.
I don't know. I recall Michael's member in this particular story was capable of some logic-defying miraculous feats. It could very well have a thigh. Thighs, even.

I suspect it's prehensile. Which is damned wigginsworthy.

Thrive to spite them
You're thinking of Clark's.
