You can't just stab everyone, Worbah. It gets so dull after a while.

However, thinking about it is way better.
What possessed Portia's father to make such a riddle and what sort of husband he wanted to find for his daughter?
Why is this important? So you'll know how to behave around gfs' fathers.
Well that specific phrasing changes the entire riddle: 'what many men desire' is a **** of a lot different than 'what you desire'. OP is an oaf.

Now it makes sense, what I desire would make it the best choice regardless of the casket.

Exactly. Take them to a lovely restaurant and stab them after a nice meal, or take them to an amusement park and stab them on a roller coaster. Your imagination is the limit.
...
No wait, you meant as in stab them in the **** or something? Yeah, that helps too.
I said a stab, stab, stabbitystabstab and a stabstabstabbity stab!

This "riddle" turned out to be absolute bollocks.
This thread needs a real riddle. Know any good ones?
I’m a wonderful thing, a joy to women,
to neighbors useful. I injure no one
who lives in a village save only my slayer.
I stand up high and steep over the bed;
underneath I’m shaggy. Sometimes ventures
a young and handsome peasant’s daughter,
a maiden proud, to lay hold on me.
She seizes me, red, plunders my head,
fixes on me fast, feels straightway
what meeting me means when she thus approaches,
a curly-haired woman. Wet is that eye.

Bwahaha, fits perfect 
Obscene medieval riddles too subtle? Here's another, no answer this time.
Often a goodly damsel, a lady, locked me
close in a chest. Sometimes with her hands
she took me out and gave me to her lord,
a fine chieftain, as he commanded her.
Then he thrust his head well inside me,
up from below, into the narrow part.
If the strength prevailed of him who received me,
adorned as I was, something or other rough
was due to fill me. Guess what I mean.

I can't really make sense out of it, at first I thought it was a helmet, then a vagina but the last few words really confused me. what the hell is something rough or other?
Helmet or crown. "Something rough" is likely hair.
Could also be a shirt.
