Good grief.  
I can’t say what I want to say in this forum, but just, good grief.  
Good . . . grief!

The modern man doesn’t take below the belt beauty seriously enough. First you need to botox your balls [as smooth as eggs,](https://youtu.be/aUa6BhGRxNw) and then make sure [you can do a cock push up.](https://youtu.be/MSxJoPJFxOg) The penis is a muscle. Use it or lose it.

More seriously, the OP’s red pill ideology aside, I think most would agree there’s a discrepancy between men’s and women’s sexual interest when it comes to genital imagery, and probably erotic imagery in general. One could come up with all sorts of evolutionary just so stories to explain why men need to be able to get aroused quickly, or point to socialization or threatening male behavior for why women wouldn’t be jumping at the chance to publicly share their admiration.

I vaguely recall one study that directly measured physical arousal which showed that women are actually more perverted in the sense that most any visual pornography will physically arouse them, whether it’s straight, gay, lesbian, or even between animals (I think they used chimps or bonobos), whereas men tend to be non-responsive to media outside their preference. Does that sound familiar to anyone? I’m definitely not interested in searching for that one right now.

Aside from his main point, the OP seems to deny female pleasure, which is odd given the $15+ billion dollar sex toy industry.

Do you think that the female orgasm is a real thing?

Let’s face it (so to speak). Neither the male nor the female reproductive parts were designed with aesthetics in mind. If the point of the OP is that men have adapted to this situation better than women, so be it.

That was my thought, too: genitals are kinda ugly, no matter whose! One of the whimsical euphemisms for sex is “rubbing uglies.”

Faylasouf, you are only referring to uncircumcised genitalia being repulsive, right?

Had to stop by and voice my dissent that women find male genitals repulsive.

Also to whoever organizes Penis Week on the SDMB, I feel like too many of us were not prepared.

> But without a doubt, the most obvious example is when we hear of those high-profile cases of women cutting off a man’s penis. The vast majority of women erupt in ecstatic cheers and happiness regardless of their political stances. If a woman had maimed a man in any other way, like chopped off his fingers or bit off his lip, most women would either condemn it or they wouldn’t care. But when it’s this particular part of the male she maims, women around the world love it and call her a heroine. “Good on her! That’s so awesome! More women should do it!”. If this doesn’t show the real amount of disgust and revulsion women have towards the male genitals then nothing does.
> 
> The problem is most men don’t want to believe this. They don’t want to believe the object of their desires has such a lowly view of them, that their immense attraction to women is not reciprocated. So they’ll deny it, or they don’t want to think about it. They’ll give replies like “You don’t know women”, or “It’s just your penis that’s ugly. Women love mine”, no matter how much evidence you show them.

The sad part is there are men who think that this is why women won’t have sex with them, when it’s because they think like this that women won’t have sex with them.

If this is true, then why are so many female “toys” modeled after the real thing?

Some strange sickness where they cant help but spending their money to buy the ugly and repulsive forever cast in plastic and silicone?  
Somehow i do not think you would find a world majority of anyone that finds the human anatomy all that repulsive in general.

I’ve been reading this and wondering how to respond, but I just can’t.  
The OP is just so ridiculous that it’s not even worthy of a response.  
Like ladies don’t enjoy sex or something? That’s certainly news to me!

Thankfully, I’ve been lucky enough to have many women “psychologically cope” over the course of a first date.

Or maybe it’s just a pretty one?
