[lbo-talk] No cock left behind

[boddi satva]

I think Comrade R. B. may be talking about something different, so I'll try
to connect it. I think that the male experience of sexuality starts with the
formation of intense desire before we ourselves have any concept we might be
desired. I think it's clear that testosterone has very powerful effects on
the brain and the fact that we produce so much more than women means our
sexual desire is much more intense outside of actual sexual activity. I
would look to the descriptions of the feelings testorsterone produces in
"female-to-male" "transsexuals" as a guide to the difference between the
male and female sexual minds. In a sense, men just don't much care whether
they are desired because they are thinking about girls.

 On the other hand, women have to deal with the objectification male
sexuality produces. I think the experience of being desired is just not what
we think about. Therefore, we don't objectify our bodies in the same way
that women do because we ourselves are not objectified (and if we are, we
don't really care). So, indeed, "loving" our genitalia makes no more sense
than loving our fingers or toes. Obviously, feeling desired is intensely
erotic (and to be hoped for). I just think that it's not a big part of
sexuality for most men.
