Phallacies
The penis. Does size really matter? Is the male organ simply a tool for sex, or is a phallic symbol worthy of deification? To what extent is men's preoccupation with their penises responsible for the aggressive, militaristic and violent nature of our society? These are some of the questions that this ground-breaking, but non-tilting, film addresses.
Anthropologists and historians find the phallus at the center of many ancient tradition and cultures. Greeks and Romans once adorned their pottery and other household items with images of the penis, regarding it as a potent symbol of fertility and longevity. In India today, we visit an old Hindu temple whose walls are sculpted in explicit scenes of erotic arts.
In most eastern cultures the penis retains its symbolic representation of love and procreation, while in the west the organ has attained a very different statue. Through interviews with experts and movie excerpts we see how machismo and the penis are connected in our culture. Frank discussions with a number of men, and their mates, about sexual performance and therapies include participants in clinical trials of such as a resurrected heart , Viagra, which went on to become the fastest-selling, most successful ever created.
Myths and misconceptions are often born from the concealment of facts. This program brings the penis front and center for an unfettered study of the male organ's place in history, art, religion, and contemporary life.
Note: Not surprisingly, full front male nudity is show in this program. Repeat: This film is not in any way titillating.. though it's often amusing.
