If God is real and has a human body, does he have a penis despite having no other deity like Zeus or Odin to get intimate with? It just seems odd that a deity would need genitals to do things.

At most one person of the Trinity has a functioning penis, and even in His case it's a really weird question to focus on, especially considering how beaten-up other body parts (like the hands and side) are.
Jesus got erections when alive of course.

Throwing aside Nathan’s point concerning Jesus as I believe OP is more alluding to God the Father. For all intents and purposes the idea of Yahweh as a old bearded man is more of a medieval to renaissance concept in order to make the concept of Iam existence to the mostly European public more understandable while also alluding to the humanoid deity’s of their ancient paganism past. Because in the Old Testament the only times Yahweh is seen by a prophet they all more or less have the same description of a ball of fire that is vaguely shaped like a person so such a deity would have no need for a gender

     It is very true that the concept of God as an old bearded man is a later development. I would note along those lines that in Orthodox practice depictions of the Father are uncommon (though not unheard of) because properly speaking Christ is the icon of the Father, through whom we became able to depict God.

At least in the Early and High Middle Ages, depicting God the Father as a disembodied hand (sometimes coming down out of a cloud) was the go-to. Full-bore anthropomorphization of the "old man, young man, dove" setup familiar today is a Late Medieval development even in the West.

It should be noted that this depiction was apparently inspired by Daniel 7:9: "As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne, his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire."
That makes sense. The idea of God being depicted as a disembodied hand was a way of working around that problem.
Much later on, Joseph Smith claimed that God the father was once a being of flesh and bone and literally had sex with Mary.

Jesus does, but the Father and Spirit do not since they are non-human entities.
God the Father does in Mormonism as he literally had sex with Mary.

The bolded indicates you are a troll or VERY stupid.
Of course, I am personally an atheist and God the Father is implied to have a human body.
