I hate to say this, but I think you should take him to the vet (yes, I vote boy). That does not look like a RES male organ (male organ is very dark in color, almost black).
I think he has an intestinal prolapse & that does need vet care. Take those color photos with you so you can show them to the vet (turtle may decide not to cooperate when you are there, so at least you will have a photo to show him/her).
Does the turtle poop normally?
