Why are we(men) obsessed with our penis?

to be honest im just about ready for humanity to move onto non-sexual reproduction.

everything to do with sex takes waaaaayy too much of our energy, and testosterone makes men behave like morons... also, genitals are fucking silly and look stupid.

This sounds like it's time for you to start having good sex. And to read up on hormones.

testosterone affects behavior, yes? and if i didnt have my nuts, i would have less of it, and it would affect my behavior less, right..?

also i wasnt talking about myself really, just looking at humanity in general. if we werent so crazy about genitals we could get a lot more shit done. and there would be less violence, im sure.

That's a generalization. It's true that it furthers certain kinds of behavior though there are more positive "side effects" than negative ones. Basically the only negative one I can think of is aggressive behavior. Since not all men are being aggressive people (and all healthy men produce testosterone), I think it's safe to say that testosterone does not automatically lead to moronic behavior.

And hey, if you ever have to be a badass, your testosterone will help. ;)

yeah, i understand that its more complicated. its not just some hormone that makes us want to screw anything that moves at any cost heh.

but IMO that "only negative" is a huuuuge one, considering there are billions of men. the repercussions are huge. men commit the vast majority of violent crimes, fight the wars... etc.

what are the positives though, that outweigh this? i guess i could look it up on the wiki but i remember new information better if someone else corrects me.

You're overthinking it, dude.

I think the main upside would be the ability to have children (with a woman). It's important for health and general well-being & it affects your libido in a positive way. I can't check wiki right now because I have to leave work for but I'm sure there are more upsides.

You have a point about the aggressive behavior, but I think it's not a good idea to say "testosterone = bad" or that it causes some behavior automatically and that there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. I guess there's more to being a wife-beater, for example, than just homones.

And on Topic:
It's the only reason I feel good about driving a shitty car. Hah!

hmm yeah, so its basically a multipurpose hormone.. impossible to get rid of without severe negative effects.

but what if just lowering it somewhat in males, would drastically reduce overall aggressiveness in society, crime rates going down and so on? im guessing it could have that effect.. maybe to get the positive effects of the hormone you dont need as much of it?

i dunno, it just keeps bothering me how violent men are compared to women.. i want to know the reason why and it has to have a biological basis! most boys are not raised to be wifebeaters or rapists or whatever...
 
Speak for yourself :p
I reckon that there's a lot of men out there who aren't obsessed with their penis - who don't personify it/give it nicknames/let it decide their self-esteem.
 
Some just are.

EDIT: But some really are not.



natural discoloration around the area can actually be a bit of a turn off for me.

but overall, penises = goofy clumsy elephant trunk with a small fro and ugly wrinkly sack hanging from it, vaginae = mysterious and alluring. but i might be a bit biased.
 
I've dated/married women who like doing it. Though when asked if they find swallowing fun, they say it's only for convenience and it actually tastes terrible.

They don't like it, they like the power it gives them over you and the look on your face when they do it.
