Why does that one appendage mean so much to men? Why do men still put so much weight on that one appendage to represent manhood when so many more important things such as devotion, wisdom, honour, honesty etc mean so much more to a woman? A woman wants to win a man's heart and mind. Everything else on the body is ornamentation. That specific body part can be compensated for and many men have other "skills" in that regard. Many women have other errogenous zones that they find just as stimulating and satisfying. Heck, there are gadgets that women can use. Women do NOT need that body part from a man anymore. We do need respect, devotion, friendship, understanding, laughter, etc.
When will men realize that that appendage is not the be all, end all of life? The way men get on about it, I am surprised they do not have churches with phallic symbols and prayers for it (or maybe they do).  |
As previously stated, it is a culturally enforced thing. That is great you appreciate those things in a man. Every time I've offered those things + great sex to a woman I was pushed to the side in favor of a man who doesn't treat her as well. I think many women are attracted to the whole bad boy image and don't respect nice guys very much. Hence the saying "nice guys finish last" rings true in many cases.
Somebody else already said this but I'll reinstate it, it is a part of our body that has worked since childhood, just like anybody whose body part stops functioning there will be distress, luckily modern medicine has pills for this problem many older men benefit from.
