narouz said:The penis is the male animal-flower, a soft-firm dildo, a warm dream[/b]." -Raymond Peat, PhD
Sheik said:A flower is a reproductive organ. I think Peat is just trying to give some perspective. We look at flowers without judgement, as something beautiful, yet the penis has all kinds of judgements attached to it. But they are essentially the same thing.
You can think of the penis more objectively when you realize that it's the same as a flower.
The dildo part... again, he's trying to give some perspective to break people out of their molds. A dildo is a lifeless object that women use to pleasure themselves. A penis, too, is simply an object, and any meaning you attach to it isn't the true meaning. There is no inherent meaning.
A penis is just a dildo that gets hard and then soft.
A warm dream... If something has great meaning to you, you are fooled. Life is but a dream. A mirage.
These ideas are not incorrect; they're just alternative perspectives. Brain food. Don't live within the limits of dogma. Live consciously.
Being poetic wasn't the point. He's surgically removing the usual mindless emotional reactions to maleness. Men are not understood in our society. There is such emotion attached to our ideas about men that we can't see the plain, rational truth.
Not only is plain, rational truth valuable for science, there is incredibly deep beauty in seeing life that way. Seeing yourself and other other life in that way.
I didn't pay much attention to the context, but it sounds like he's saying that if women want what men have, they don't realize what it is that men really have. It reminds me of a quote from Timothy Leary, "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."

Well, I think it is firm when polen is polinating female flower....Charlie said:Firm but soft?
Kind of weird to think of missionary as equal when men are on top.I disagree with Peat on this one. It sounds like he's advocating a society where women have a sexuality that is less divorced from the male one; in other words, women objectify men more, and men objectify women less, compared to modern standards.
There have been plenty of matriarchal societies in the past, and all of them have been less advanced and resilient than the patriarchal ones. I'm assuming here that a matriarchal society would have had this "egalitarian" sexuality moreso than a patriarchal one.
The main feature that women are attracted to in men is power, or "capability". Most of the social and physical traits that favor us (money, athleticism, height, deep voice) are direct indicators of some type of power/authority; either societal or concrete.
Women are sexually submissive (think doggy style), or at best "equal" (missionary position). When a healthy man desires a woman, he thinks of acting upon her, while a woman desiring a man tends to think of being acted upon by him. So the power dynamic exists here too, and both men and women sexually prefer women to be sex objects, and men to be sex "subjects" or "actors" (obviously these are generalizations, not hard fast rules).
'Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.' - Oscar Wilde
true!The penis is best when it's not rigid but rather a little snake like, less than rock hard more than semi hard. That is what feels best to both the man and the woman.

I guess; I mean doggy style is one movement away from //, while missionary is much more ---_.Well, it's certainly more equal than doggy style.

@ecstatichamster I've noticed that girls orgasm a lot easier when they're on bottom, but that's just my own experiences.
They orgasm more easily when they are on top -- when they can rub their clit against your pubic bone. You are lucky if a girl orgasm easily on the bottom as most girls don't orgasm nearly as easily from penile vaginal intercourse absent clitoral stimulation.
Na, you're very knowledgeable.thanks. Apologies for sounding like a know it all. LOL.
