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?

Dear Timmy,
I tried to watch a clip of that but the site I found it on only offered a .avi file that my version of RealPlayer refused to play - so I haven't seen it.
In Yahoo and Google groups I found ymna which is Young Men NAked and I find the pictures very attractive, whether the penis is erect or flaccid. I do agree with Michael that as it is capable of giving its owner such great pleasure it is a natural focus of attention - at least for someone who wants to be nice to other people.
Actually when the pictures are intended to be pornographic the model often has a completely off-putting facial expression that I think is intended to be a sort of lewd come-on. But, for example, many pictures of anal intercourse show those being the 'bottoms' with screwed up faces as if they were in pain.
And so I think it is naked and beautiful people that are attractive and when they are intended to be pornographic some of them are a turn off.
Love,
Anthony

I have seen possibly five or six penises in my entire life that I've considered visually very attractive - out of the many thousand of penises (between mixed changing rooms, nude beaches, and the odd bit of porn) that I've seen. A pretty dick is for me a rarity, though they definitely exist.
In general though, it isn't a penis that attracts me, but a guy. Even in porn, for example, facial expression and body language, and some appearance of genuinely enjoying what they are doing is important - probably why so much porn leaves me (literally) unmoved.
Conversely, even an unattractive or downright ugly dick can be pretty damn good when it's inside me, attached to a guy I care about.

That question is equivalent of 'Is a dog attractive?' Dogs and penises come in many different shapes, colours and sizes. Some (dogs and dicks) I find extremely attractive. Some dicks I find aesthetically attractive, others sexually attractive and on a good day both. The same applies to scrotums (scrota?).
(Coincidentally I have written a short story touching on this subject which I shall submit in due course.)

I realise that my previous post didn't answer the question "Do I find penises attractive?" and the answer is undoubtedly "Yes!".
If I saw someone naked I would cross the road to have a closer look. You could waylay me with pictures and maybe tempt me to touch if I got close enough. I really am attracted.
And porn isn't *more* attractive; some of it is unattractive whereas a penis on a nudist beach will always get my attention.
Love,
Anthony

Well, What about "Simpson"? What I mean is to ask why it is a name for a penis.

This list is historical
Not my own invention.
I will find out though.

Johnson is a popular term for the penis- made all the more popular by the infamous "Big Johnson" t-shirts. There is some speculation, but little hard evidence as to the etymology of the word.
Here are some of the possible origins:
* There is a town in Indiana called "Dick Johnson". It's not hard to get the association here.
* It is perhaps related to British slang John Thomas, which had the same meaning around 1863.
* R. G. Johnson made baseball bats in his Sebago Bat Company. He always burned 'R. G. Johnson' into his bats. The bats were referred to as "Johnson's" and since the penis somewhat resembles a baseball bat it might have been used as a euphemism.

I thought Big Johnson had something to do with the Johnson Tool company.
