Sure that first one is plural?

It's a gay term, and when gay men have sex, there is usually more than one dick. It's a play on TNA, which is plural too.

There is a gay magazine called DNA, a play on the fact that it may be genetic. we all know what they really mean.

But, sure, in a straight monogamous relationship, there may be a singular. Broaden your mind to other possibilities.

Um ok... Then why is ass singular?

All asses are actually the same ass, travelling forward and backward through time.

It's a collective noun
