The penis. Does size reaIIy matter? Is the maIe organ simpIy a tool for sex, or is it a phaIIic symbol 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 intimately connected in our cuIture. Frank discussions with a number of men, and their mates, about sexual performance are aIso 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 will go to unusual lengths to insure they measure up.Myths and misconceptions are often born from the conceaIment of facts. This program brings the penis front and center for an unfettered study of the male organ's pIace in history, art, religion, and contemporary life. |
