Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
We men are often clueless about a lot of things (OK, most things). One of the more interesting realizations I’ve come to is that men love penises far more than women do. We men think our penis is the best invention ever. Look at all the cool things it can do! Look at all the cool places we can stick it! Look at all different ways it can feel good! Who could possibly not think our penis was the best toy in the whole world? Women.
Sometimes it seems to me that women put up with our penis because it makes us so happy. I had a friend who looked at some artistic nudes with his wife. He was shocked to learn that she did not find male genitals beautiful – in fact she told him she thought they reminded her of “something like giblets”. Those kinds of sentiments leave us men speechless.
But when it’s erect, surely women must love them! Well…not so fast. I was talking to Betty Dodson recently about my work with men with erectile dysfunction and she said “When will men get it through their heads that sex has nothing to do with an erect penis!” This must be blasphemy! By definition: Sex is an erect penis entering a bodily orifice. Right? Ask a woman. She probably won’t even mention a penis when it comes to sex.
We men can’t imagine sex without an erection. I’ve found that many women are perfectly happy to have sex without an erection. In fact, when it comes to dealing with a limp penis and sex, it turns out that women are FAR more adventurous sexually than men are.
For example, apparently many women are perfectly happy to perform oral sex on a limp penis. Many men I’ve talked to are reticent to let their partners do this. The level of shame associated with ED is immense and, quite often, men feel this is admitting defeat or settling for something less than sex. The truth is, it can be better than erect sex.
According to some women, oral sex with a flaccid penis is best. They do not gag, it is more gentle, more loving, more intimate and they enjoy the experience much more. Believe it or not, porn is not a documentary and women truly do not want to be gagging and gasping for breath while he pounds their throat.
For a change, she tends to be in charge and has far more control. She can focus tongue action on the frenulum. Suck and push the penis in and out with the tongue and a whole new sensation arises. Roll the penis around in the mouth. Avoid the traditional pumping motion and go for a more massaging concept. Sometimes guys can’t let themselves relax and enjoy it to the point of orgasm, but when they do, it is incredibly intense.
The experience is often very intimate – far beyond a traditional blow job. This is also a great activity for a guy’s refractory period after an orgasm. Many guys have learned they can be multi-orgasmic this way.
I will be doing a series on “Fun with (limp) Dick and Jane”. I’d love your input!
Paul there are women with penises
and there isn't a great big gap between them and other penis owners. but a gradual diversity. Yet gender expression is usually polarised into male or female clothes. which renders gender diversity largely invisable. Please don't make the assumption that everyone in male clothes has the same amount of maleness. I think your being a bit gender polarised and my heart sinks a little to hear "us men" in amongst some other enlightened views, as most of what your saying about men I don't relate too. Limp dicks are fine. They're limp 99% of the time. If they weren't the circulation would fail and they'd fall off :) Lol. So flacid is part of their appreciated natural state.
There are women who love penises and those that don't. Again the picture's diverse. I like my own penis both flacid and erect but it's not the entire focus of my self love. I like my body too (well most of it :) Many people dislike their genitals and those of other people because they're taboo and denigrated as dirty when they're expected to be beautiful, and some are, but there are many kinds if awesome and genitals are fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! add 7 billion exclamation marks there, one for every person who wouldn't be around without our awesome genitals.
I'd love to see a general appreciation and respect for vulvas and penises with them featured in great art and art solely about them like the great wall of vulva and the one day to be made great wall of penis.
It was not too long ago that
It was not too long ago that I had this weird thought about why some men get so jealous when their female partners look at, flirt with, admire another man.
What occurs to me as I watch men with their arms around their women, ushering them here and there, still opening doors, being tender, is how grounding it must be for them to have a committed partner. In other other words, to know, with a good deal of relief, that this woman is their annointed vulva, essentially is their property. I don't mean this as a political statement right now. Just think about it, I, the man, don't have to worry about going on the chase, being ignored or rejected when I ask for sex. My penis has a home. Its home is manicured, taken care of, is healthy and intimidation free.
I know you can all snark at this but there are alot of good relationships where this is a done deal. Of course, in not all, but a lot.
A home for my penis!! At days end I can rest it on her leg, put it inside her, feel hot and satisfied -- whoa good deal.
I'm not intending to be sarcastic, I mean it with all my heart.
What more could a vulnerable penis want than to have this kind of port in the storm, if you will.
This is a very honest, innocent, in the best of all possible worlds blog. Please don't tell me how many wives are ball busters, rejecting men haters, etc. I'm not talking about them-- Nor the ones who have a steady meal tickety guy in exchange.
I'm just talking about the lucky penis who has his own safe haven-- what a lucky guy!!
Women/penises
Jake,
Rest assured, I would never make that assumption that all men share the same amount of 'maleness' even though I may handle the topic with a broad brush and a glib sense of humor. Of course there are women who love penises - and men who hate their penis. I wrote this from the predominantly heterosexual male perspective - but will be writing other posts considering other aspects of the identity and orientation spectrum. Don't get me going on my tirade of how Prostate cancer and ED treatments focus solely on heterosexual and over-50 men!
But thanks for keeping me in line!
Paul
this is a great post but...
I really agree with a lot in this post. I only want to say that after my own sexual healing and awakening as a woman (had 5 years of substandard or dysfunctional sex before that), I really LOVE penises. It seems like this site is kinda anti couple-sex. I mean in the sense that it's always saying masturbation is better than intercourse for women, but that is not really true for me. I like to touch myself, but I love it even more when my lover touches me. And nothing gets me more arroused or more off than a man's body near me or pounding into me. I love love love that! so maybe some women are more pleased by only their clitorous and some by vagina + clit action. I think maybe there's a spectrum out there. Me, I'm a vagina girl. Getting it in my vagina by a penis or a man holding a dildo get's me off big time. I feel my clit activated by that action anyways.
