The Search for Cock

Just go for a walk through town and look at the advertisements on billboards, in bus stops, anywhere. Count how often you see a picture of an almost naked man, and compare it with the ammount of advertisements with images of half naked women. If you even you see one, isn't the image of the male body less explicit or partially hidden?

Now switch on the TV and zap a bit: almost or totally naked women are common to see, even in commercials. You get time to watch them too. The man's naked body on the other hand, if you are lucky to spot one, is usually limited to everything above the waist. If his ass is shown, you maybe have a full second (woah!) to look at it. And legs are not shown that often either. Not to mention the cock of course. In computer games it is the same story.

Let's take a love scene from any regular movie: how often isn't there a bed sheet lying over the male's buttocks, while the woman's breasts, ass and vagina are shown without any covering? In the article 'Male frontal nudity in the movies uncovers an old debate' in USA Today, the writers say: "While penises are not yet as prevalent as female breasts, they are becoming more accepted". They mention a couple of movies in which the male actor is seen naked. I dare say the quantity of those scenes is a lot less in comparison with naked female scenes. And the time you get to watch and admire the actor's body, is less too. So unfair, don't you think?

In my opinion, our male-dominated society is the main reason why naked men are hardly shown 'out in the open'. In general, people seem to think the male body is shocking and pornographic. The female body on the other hand, is considered to be more aesthetic, sensual and elegant.
It is a matter of what we are used to: for centuries and centuries, women were described, painted, sculptured, and later photographed and filmed, mostly by male artists. Before the 20th century, female artists had a very hard time to get accepted and acknowledged. If they would have had equal chances back then, we probably would have seen the (naked) man as a subject in art a lot more. But even today, the explicit naked male body in art or film is seen as unconventional and provocative. Not to mention that there are quite some men who perceive it to be gay or a sign of weakness for a man to expose himself naked. Imagine: there are countries, also in Western society, where it is forbidden by law to show a fully erect cock on TV. Tits and pussies are perfectly normal though. Of course, the film industry is also dominated by men. No surprise here.

I sometimes catch myself thinking that by keeping their pants on, men subconsciously try to keep women under their thumb. It is a fact that women are not given equal chances, job positions or wages. We try to catch up though. Maybe that's why men don't show their goods, like saying: 'you can get my job and maybe, someday, even receive the same payment for it, but you won't get my cock'.

If we want this to change, we women have to be a lot more straightforward about our sexuality and what we want than we are today. Because no matter what people claim about the positive development of female sexuality and emancipation in the last couple of decades, people generally still think in the old fashioned way: a woman is not supposed to be sexually agressive or take initiative, because that makes her a whore. Women do not like porn, women do not masturbate, women do not fart or belch, etc., etc. Bla, bla, bla.

So let us finish what we have started, right here and now and say: we want to see more naked men! On billboards, in movies, on TV, in commercials, in games, everywhere. Men have beautiful, erotic bodies that appeal to us, fascinate us and turn us on. You get to see us; now we want our fair share!
