In romance and erotica writing, the men have large penises. I've not read a story about a man's thin or short cock, even though every single heterosexual woman out there knows that they come in all shapes and sizes. And every single one is capable of bringing great pleasure. Not only that, we also know that too-big cocks can hurt.
So why the obsession? After reading Nancy Friday for many years, I culled the following theories:
1. Fantasies are symbolic of what someone wants in their life. A dream of a big penis, a huge, giant monster that fills you up and satisfies you - well. Sounds like a shout for MORE MORE MORE, doesn't it?
2.That MORE MORE MORE isn't just about sex. It's about wanting more excitement, more time to relax, more ease and just plain more fun. Nothing represents a really great day better than a big, hard penis.
3. It's also a bit of a boast - "I'm such a powerful woman, it takes something powerful to satiate me and please me."
4. That shout of MORE can also represent frustration with the "Good Girl" role - you know, the one where a woman is shamed if she initiates, shares her fantasies, is experimental, or just plain curious. Talk about a rebellion! Desire for more starts every revolution, even a small one where an individual simply wants the freedom to read what she truly wants.
Those are my theories. What are yours?

Nothing represents a really great day better than a big, hard penis indeed! I know that's true in the case of my own member, no doubt about it!
ReplyDeleteYou mean, men like sex, too?
ReplyDeleteAnd here all this time they were sacrificing themselves to keep me happy. Huh.
