New Ditty 21

Flowers. How we forget the small tubes (stamen) with fuzzy points at the end are a plant's penis. Pollen=sperm. We’ve no trouble viewing plant penises but our own, no. Illustrated here are both contrast & similarity. Cultural, social & religious conventions shame us to think that which makes us male is bad. Old views die hard. My vision: beauty in being male is a good--not to hide, fear or shame—to see into a new, artistic light. WARNING: site has male nudity. Offended? Leave now!
