There was a sex ed programme - odd topic, really. And penises were explained. A nice young man stood happily and demonstrated his flaccid one to the nation without getting erect or blushing. He had it pointed to and all the working parts explained. We saw how a foreskin works, where you pee through, what a frenulum is and also had a look at his testicles.

It was clinical and wholly unerotic.

Later I looked at porn online and saw penises not very different from his own and bodies not very different from his own. These were erotic.

I'm minded of an earlier thread where someone, Deej, perhaps, said "I am not attracted to an anus" or something similar. I had always considered prior to last night's show that I am attracted to penises, and though the penis to be beautiful. I am going to backtrack on that.

A penis is just a fleshy tube with some specialised nerve endings. A well proportioned one can be aesthetically pleasing, and an erect one can be an erotic sight if part of an attractive body and not physically abhorrent.

So what is it about porn that's attractive and "run of the mill" nakedness that is not?

And what is your view of a penis? Is it inherently attractive, or do other things have to be right before that is so?
