I was on Gawker today reading my daily amount of gossip when lo' and behold I stumbled upon an item talking about leaked sexting photos of Kanye West. Of course, this piqued my interest. But what disturbed me most was this instant back lash of women talking about how much they find the aesthetics of peen disgusting.
What, what WHAT! Who doesn't like the way peen looks? Obvs, I had to rant about it. Big time.
I wrote to Maureen of Gawker, I don't expect her to write back to my ridiculous rant on the Peanut Gallery, but I did want my voice and my experience with schlong heard.
Below is the email I wrote:
Hey there Maureen, I'm sure you're getting a lot of email regarding the dicks. Here's my two cents. I am a 28 year old, female who enjoys-- I'm sorry, I'm infatuated with the male form and male mystique. It makes me tear out my hair when I see that a majority of the comments attitude about aesthetic of DECK/cock shots, and not just in this forum, but when I speak to women in general, is this:
As a woman who likes men, I have to say no, it does not.
I can only speak
for myself, but while I enjoy the functionality of the penis, its looks leave
something to be desired.
Or this banal bullshit, like this mo'fo's got a PHD in Penis Envy 101:
It's done for the man's pleasure, not the woman. The man gets off on the thought
that his bare cock makes a woman salivate. Its his fantasy. Most are too dim
witted to know otherwise.
Show me a beautiful, round toned bum though... and
this is a different story.
This makes me upset for three reasons: 1) Are straight woman conditioned to believe that the penis is an ugly, overbearing thing that's not suppose to conjure any type of sexual feeling? Like the dick is some harbinger of death? 2) I don't like it when men talk shit about my vajajay and the way it looks. That doesn't make me feel sexy-- so I wonder what these women are doing to their partners? That's some other bullshit. 3) This is what makes most porn for women suck. Don't give me soft focus, or waxed muscled men in pirate shirts. Don't give me some light play romance film where all I see is maybe a peek of ass from the dude, but I see bosoms galore. I will take hardcore solo action of a guy pleasing himself over that. Hell, even in D'Angelo's music video "How Does It Feel", I'm sure a collective of women wanted that camera to go down a little lower.
Constantly, in porn women are the eye candy and if I was into chicks that would be cool with me. But it isn't. Having a female form in the mix instantly sends the signal, whether conscious or not, to compare my body with the woman in the film. How am I to feel sexy and turned on when I'm thinking about how my stomach isn't as flat as that or my boobs not as big or wowever...
Okay, thank you so much for letting me rant about the commenters.
Much Respect,
Sue Ellen Crandell
