Why are erections considered
obscene?
As censorship
increases, one begins to wonder why some things are considered
to be "obscene". The male erection, for example, is
considered to be too dirty for delicate sensibilities, and thus
turns a photograph of a naked man into something that needs
to be banned, burnt, and removed from sight utterly.
Why should
this be the case?
An erection
is a perfectly normal part of human physiology. It's vital to
the continuance of the human race. Baby boys get them, and so
do old men. Half of humanity get them. The other half enjoys
them. In eastern cultures such as India, the erect penis or
lingam is considered sacred and appears regularly in art and
religion.
So why
is the erection considered obscene?
Is it because
it has to do with sex? Is it that the "magical" penis
is finally being revealed in all its glory and thus becomes
less powerful? Is there a fear of deflation if it is displayed?
The fact
is many women enjoy looking at pictures of naked men, and an
erect penis can really top off the fantasy. Is that what's obscene
- women actually enjoying their sexuality?
Obscenity
laws don't make sense. It's up to the individual to decide what
they find morally wrong.
