I didn't mean to sneer. And this probably calls for a longer answer than I can compose right now. What I meant about 'otherkin-type experience' was that some people under the otherkin umbrella say they have persistent physical sensations of a body they do not actually have: their nonexistent wings are cramped in the elevator, or they feel their nonexistent tail swinging as they walk. They know they don't have such body parts, but the sensations remain. It is a lot like phantom sensations from an amputated hand or leg, except they never had the body part to begin with, so the origin of the sensation is a mystery.
From your first comment I got the impression that you wake up every morning, not merely hoping for a visit from the Penis Fairy, but with proprioception telling you you already have one. Those otherkin accounts I summarized above were the only analogues I'd ever heard of for such an experience. If I misparsed your first comment, I apologize for generating so much confusion.
