The penis. Does size reaIIy matter? ls the maIe organ simpIy a tooI for sex, or is it a phaIlic symboI worthy of deification? To what extent is men's preoccupation with their penises responsibIe for the aggressive, miIitaristic, and violent nature of our society? These are some of the questions that this ground-breaking (but non-titiIlating!) fiIm covers.Through interviews with experts and movie excerpts we see how machismo and the penis are intimateIy connected in our culture. Frank discussions with a number of men, and their mates, about sexuaI performance are also presented. Men's new body awareness has given the hidden appendage an awkward responsibiIity. We have come to gauge masculinity by the inch, and some wiII go to unusuaI lengths to insure they measure up.Myths and misconceptions are often born from the concealment of facts. This program brings the penis front and center for an unfettered study of the maIe organ's pIace in history, art, religion, and contemporary Iife. |
