The Penis Paradox: Life Lessons from the Animal World
In human society, the phallus is considered a symbol of power and authority, and we tend to believe that this perception has a strong biological basis. Science journalist Emily Willingham, discussing mating rituals and animal penises, shows that nature had...
very different plans for this organ, and it was not created for its owners to be endowed with any advantages. Tracing the evolution of the penis, the author also reflects on what we can do to strip the phallus of its symbolic weight and put an end to the belief that it controls the man who cannot control himself. Willingham comes to a simple conclusion: the penis was created for love, not for war, for intimacy, not for oppression. This entertaining and informative book boldly addresses the most pressing issues of gender relations and is full of humor and irony.
