Precisely -- and I'll say it again -- I LOVE getting comments from EVERYBODY, lesbians, gay dudes, asexuals and, of course, straight women. So what are y'all waiting for? Comment, goshdarnit!
Hey, an interesting idea just occurred to me, bro. Thanks for helping me with this....
Basically, what you have just said is that you enjoy comments from many different orientations, most of which will never hold any prospect of sexual encounters with you.
What this means, then, is that for you the penis is not necessarily a soley sexual organ. I think this is the case for me as well, and most likely all men. The penis is NOT all just about sex. The penis, I believe, in many ways represents a man's heart. I know some would be offended by that, but the penis represents something very deep about the male gender.
In ancient Rome the penis was used as a talisman, that is, a symbol of good luck to ward off evil omens. So, even since ancient times the penis has meant more than just "sexual object."
I suppose the mistake some people are making is in thinking that the penis is ALWAYS a sexual organ and that all references to the penis must necessarily be of sexual connotation. This isn't the case at all.
To take this back to gay men complimenting one's penis, note that we are fine to have gay men compliment our penis.
Because we are straight, the compliment is not sexual for us; we take the compliment only on an
aesthetic level. It is when the comment from the gay man goes into the realm of
sexuality ("I'd like to suck that," etc.) that we become uncomfortable.
