(In case a Banana on it’s own isn’t phallic enough, when you peel it, it’s a nice skin coloured fruit underneath). http://www.popspotsnyc.com/lou_reed_velvet_underground/Nico/velvet_banana_3.jpg

Phallic (or vaginal) imagery in pop culture images
[/QUOTE]
If there’s “phallic,” can’t there be “fallopial” or “uterial?” “Phallic” avoids a direct reference to the anatomical feature in question, or, at least, the common sexual reference (whether medical or casual); why not the same for the women?
In English… in the original, phallus is very much the normal name for that part of the male sexual organs, it’s only that of the four words involved that one happens to be the one which got more “localized” synonyms.
Also, neither the Fallopian tubes nor the uterus happen to be the same as the vagina. What you’re proposing would be equivalent to talking about prostatic imagery.
Thanks, Dr., but that’s my point, there is no word for vagina but vagina, or pussy, or cunt, or some other obnoxious word. What word does the vagina have in the alternative that is equivalent to “phallic.”
Yonic.
Thought of this thread yesterday while watching The Cleveland Show.
Don’t forget the myth of the C3PO boner. Snopes dispels the myth, but it is still a funny image.
Man, those are some nice meat flaps.
Oh, and it’s pretty subtle, but I personally think Tenacious D’s Rize Of The Fenix album cover has a bit of phallic imagery going on. Maybe it’s just me though.
No, just no, not subtle at all :D. That’s the real deal.
Mmmmm, nice berries.
People came from far and wide to praise her berries.
Not exactly pop culture but…

City of Rocks, indeed.
When Time Magazine did its Charlie’s Angels cover, I always figured the positioning of Jaclyn’s Smith’s armpit was no accident.
The white clouds billowing just above them certainly put this image over the top.

Those three on the cover and you notice the armpit.
Hey, one man’s armpit is another man’s vagina, or something like that.
:eek: I bet no one ever wants to have sex with you!
