Meant to sound like "Take one for the team." This means you are dating a girl you are not really attracted to, just for the sex. In doing this, you are taking one for your penis.
I started dating Michelle, she's not super hot, but I've got to take one for the Peen.

an act where one brave soul in your group of male friends hits on the Nottie of a group of hotties so his friends can get their slide on later on that night. taking one for the team usually involves just talking to the nottie and laughing at her jokes and complimenting her (horrid) appearance, but it may be necessary to appease the nottie by getting your wacka wacka on with her...back at her place of course, so your roomates never see her.
yeah, i was totally working up my conversation with number one hottie when her nottie roomate showed up (again!), so i had to to have joey take one for the team.
