Pondering my reverence for the male package, I can't help but wonder why it's so fascinating. The balls, yes, that's obvious. That's where they keep the ammunition. But why does a feminist with a dislike of shotguns displayed in the back windows of trucks get all misty-eyed and quivery at the sight of a flesh-and-blood weapon, the Big Boy Gun, the Battering Ram of Romance?
I don't know. I only know that there's something about the Object of Worship that makes me want to study it, learn its language, understand its culture, and befriend it before it turns on me. That must be it: a primitive female survival instinct. Know the Enemy.
It is fascinating, though, isn't it? It's as if the penis, as the center of the male's drive to take new territory, is at the center of human history. War and politics and monotheistic religion...The things we blame on money are really about the struggle for male power, of which money is only a means to an end. Fencing in the herd, as it were.
Penis = Power = Territorial Disputes = Football (both sides of the Atlantic)/Cheerleaders = War/Peace = Art/Music/Literature = My Salute to the Penis
If not for the penis and its need to find, attract, overpower and defend a herd of vaginas, would there be any human history to speak of? We know there would be no Stretch Limousines or Hummers, but what else might we have missed? Other than the obvious?
If we reproduced asexually, I suspect the human race would have existed in relative peace and tranquility, like the dull-witted toga-clad surfer-dude version of the Eloi in the 1960s movie version of "The Time Machine." Not that the Eloi were supposed to be sexless; they just came across that way in the film, especially in contrast to the brawny, hairy, non-verbal Testosterone Creatures who kept them fed and happy like farm animals. Hell, even Rod Taylor looked like a sex-crazed Man-Beast next to the Eloi. They appeared to have had evolved beyond the need for a penis; maybe they impregnanted their drifty-floaty Yvette Mimeaux girlfriends by sharing a toothbrush at the right time of the month.
As long as the penis remains the key to human history, there might not be world peace, globally mandated organic farming, or a general acceptance of comfortable shoes for women, but at least there will be fabulous sex and free dirty stories.
Dick, I salute you. I'd better, if I know what's good for me, and I do.
