The way I see it personally is that God knew beforehand that Adam needed a partner and that a human female would indeed be created. The one who didn't know this was Adam. Because it is the man's responsibility to care for the woman, I believe this was God's way to ensure Adam fully understood and appreciated the importance of his counterpart. When something is simply handed to you, you will never appreciate it as much. But this was a lesson to Adam to show him that there was nothing else in all of creation that compared to his need of companionship with a woman. Thus, women were, quite literally, a gift from God.
Since the Bible doesn't state either way, that is my take on it. I encourage everyone to come to their own conclusions.
As to the penis issue: The Bible implies the period between the creation of man and woman was pretty brief and not long. So, Adam was not without sexual use of his penis for very long.
Regarding Animal genders: Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain the Genesis account mentions the animal kingdom had both genders created at the same time.
All of the above is my $0.02.
