Wotcha cock!

I know this is a colloquial British greeting (http://barryoneoff.co.uk/html/the_cockneys.html). I also realize that there is nothing sexual about it. Yet the context in which I have it, and have to work with, is sexual. It's one male sperm saying hi to another. So in my context it is a pun and refers to a cock and what it produces. I need to find a good Russian equivalent that would retain the sexual connotation, but still be decent. Banging my head against the wall... Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Maybe something from блатного жаргона? Thank you!

Comment: "Many thanks Sophia! I'm taking my hat off. Yes, it may sound a bit childish at first, until you realize it's a sperm talking--then it's funny!"

здорОво, мужик!
According to your context and request for decensy, блатной жаргон, won't fit here, I think. So, I'd use a regular mate-ish kind of greeting, which will be funny by itself. The first word is pronounced: "здарОва".

как живешь, живчик?
Как живешь, живчик?
В качестве приветствия по-русски можно сказать "Как живешь?" "Как поживаешь?" или "Как жизнь?" (примерный аналог "How do you do?"). И тут можно скаламбурить, применив однокоренное слово "живчик" (сперматозоид).

Еще добавлю. Живчик означает не только сперматозоид, но и кого-то живого, энергичного. Так что здесь тоже игра слов.
