Do most men believe their penis is most important?
« on: 09/03/2021 16:28:58 »
Is there any evidence that most men value their penis over any other part of their body?

It's a matter of priorities:
- If you have no air, filling your lungs is most important - you could die in 4 minutes
- If you have no water, wetting your mouth is most important - you could die in 3 days.
- If you are starving, filling your stomach is most important - you could die in 1 month

Other factors are more variable:
- Depending on where you live (and what season it is), protecting your skin with clothes and/or shelter may be the most important thing.
- If you have a broken leg, fixing the leg is most important. You may not die immediately, but you will be disabled for the rest of your life.
- If you have no children, your personal set of genes will die out in perhaps 70 years (although helping nieces and nephews can partially extend that)

YES!

When it comes to Cell/Mobile phones...Men quarrel as to who has the Smallest!

But when it comes to the Penis...they boast as to who has the Largest!

P.S. - 🤭

The importance might depend on how old you are.

Up to the age of about 50, our male appendage is probably the thing that's uppermost in our thoughts.

After that, its importance droops, and we turn to considerations of philosophy.

There are, or course, those moments when the bladder is full...  and everything fades from importance beyond emptying the bladder.

As far as personal attributes, I wouldn't think of that particular body part as being a reflection of me.

I agree with you, that the reflection of it in plane-mirrors, may be unsatisfactory.
As we've both obviously found out, during our youthful and playful experiments with self-viewing using such mirrors.

The dissatisfaction arises from the plane-mirrors' lack of magnifying power.  However, this power can be supplied by concave mirrors.  Which are readily available in the form of "shaving mirrors".

These are typically 3 or 4 inches in diameter. And owing to Newtonian optical theory, they present a reflected and magnified image of any object positioned in front of them.  Such as a bristly chin.  Ready to be shaved. 

But it goes without saying, that these mirrors can be used to view other objects.  Do you see what I mean?

Perhaps such frank self-portraits should made obligatory for all members posting here.

Wouldn't it certainly provide a sense of perspective, when viewing the posts?

Charles1948, I'm sure before your fifties your penis was legendary. I bet songs were written about it.

The sensory homunculus is actually a serious construction showing the male body mapped with "equal concentration of nerve endings" instead of "equal areas". Oddly, there is also a motor neuron homunculus but no female version of either.

No songs, just appreciative groans when inserted.

Sorry, i Misunderstood the image and made a Silly Defaming post about it being your own Self - Image.
☹️

(Plz do Report my pun intended post above to a MOD & have them remove it...if Not, then i shall Delete it Meself)

Or maybe You & the Mods could just decide to keep it there, as a stark reminder for my Foolishness...as well as a good lesson for future posters to use their brains a bit before tryin puns.
👍

P.S. - Thanks Alot ALAN!
You perhaps didn't even realize, but you ended up Correcting Me!
👍
