Maybe this would be a better entry for a blog. I don't know. But, anyway.... for some time, I've heard guys talk about how they aren't gay or even bisexual but are fascinated by the penis. I had doubted this. You gotta be at least bisexual to be interested in the penis, I figured. But now, I think I get it.... I read some "Men Movement" book a while back that said the male identity revolves around the penis in a way that the female identity does NOT revolve around the vagina. The perspective of this book was that it was a bad thing; that the penis shouldn't be so central to the male identity. But I think I've admitted defeat and accepted that it IS central to the male identity. Anyway, what I think I finally "get" is this: if you accept that the penis is central to the male identity, then it only follows that males (of all orientations) would be fascinated by the penis. People tend to be fascinated by that which is central to their identities.
I guess I just never could reconcile my own fascination with something that I also find incredibly ugly and, occasionally, even gross, e.g., http://www.lpsg.com/338763-ever-grossed-out-by-your.html
I suppose what helped me finally "get it" is that I gave up. I think I was going by that "evolved male" (male feminist?) idea that it's wrong that the penis is so central to our identities. But you just can't fight nature. The male fascination with the penis is likely an evolutionary trait that has allowed the species to survive.
