Phallic (or vaginal) imagery in pop culture images

There’s alwaysRamsay and the sausage

Malwarebytes blocked the site as “malicious”.

That’s not her privates, that’s her missiles, as anybody who remembers Mazinger Z can tell you. Well, Aphrodite A actually, and if they ever watched the Barbie-inspired episode they won’t have forgotten it.

I think the movie “Videodrome” had a fair amount of sexually suggestive imagery in it, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I can’t cite any examples.

In fact, I think the same could be said of much of Cronenberg’s work.

Pop culture? Maybe, maybe not. But I was walking past a Honeybaked Ham store and noticed one of these pictures.

There’s Coit Tower in San Francisco. Hey, it’s right in the name.

There were the 1958 Cadillac tail lights.

Also this rear view, which is pretty much on the nose.

I’m sorry, I posted it from a Linux machine without antivirus, but with adblock, so maybe the malicious content was blocked and I didn’t notice. Won’t provide an alternative link, but if someone is still interested, put in “Blind Faith cover” into a google picture search, but be warned again, very NSFW.

Mom’s Apple Pie album cover has you all beat.

Warrant used a similar idea on their Cherry Pie album cover, but that’s tame by comparison.

For penis imagery, try Poison, 'Open Up and Say…Ahh!

Lady Gaga’s Artpop goes full on with sexual imagery.

This Sidney Barnes disco single is single entendre.

“Anaconda” by Nciki Minaj feat. Gonja is sexual all the way. Is it phallic or vaginal imagery? I’d say no.

And nudity alone isn’t either. The Blind Faith cover has zero phallic or vaginal imagery. Words have meaning.

Er, have you noticed the very phallic plane/space ship model the girl is holding?

Yeah. You can always make a plane into phallic imagery, but in this particular case the plane isn’t pointed at anything nor is the girl holding the plane in a sexual way. I think that they took pains to position it so that it was a mere prop rather than a deliberate symbol. The photographer always has told the story that way and I don’t know of anyone who has corrected it.

Compare that cover to the Scorpions Virgin Killer to see the difference. NSFW.

Your first link goes to the picture of the Blind Faith cover. Anyway, first time I saw that cover, I saw a naked young girl with a plane dildo in her hands, but maybe I just have a sick mind. YMMV, shrug. And I know the Scorpions cover and don’t have to look at it again, but although that’s a very explicit sexual cover, there’s not much symbolism in it but mostly the plain “thing” itself.

There is a boss creature in Borderlands (second to last boss, reappears in Borderlands 2) whose face is absolutely, clinically, un-subtly a vagina. I’m sure it amuses the fanboys no end.

Here it is, dead and sideways on the ground. (Borderline NSFW, so link buried.)

Rakk Hivesare big pussies. Vagina dentata, even.

If this Cactus LP cover isn’t phallic, I don’t know what is.

There’s a long article at the bottom of that picture.

Many people are saying that Coit Tower was designed to look like the nozzle of a fire hose, in tribute to the old bag’s fireman fetish. Lots of smart people say that. (It’s not true, just an amusing urban legend)

As for motorcars, don’t forget the infamous “come hither” front grille of the Ford Edsel line.

Ah thanks, I’m to dumb to scroll down :smack:. I don’t think I completely buy the artist’s explanation. Sounds like typical drug-induced '60s hippie mumbo jumbo to cover the fact that the picture shows a half-naked 12 year old girl with a dong in her hands. You cannot always trust what an artist says about their intentions.

The Nebraska State Capitol, topprd with the majestic sower, spewing his seed across the land.

Yonic, or kteic?

The male equivalent of “yoni” is “lingam”.

The female equivalent of “phallus” is “kteis” .

And the Philadelphia city hall has William Penn dangling his bits for all to see (from one angle, anyway). Not sure about seeds.

Watch the old WC Fields short, “The Dentist,” and wait for the bearded man to open wide.
