For tens of thousands of years, the phallus was seen not simply as something to insert in a hole to relieve sexual tension or to impregnate a woman, but was worshipped as the sacred symbol of male creative power.
Representations of the phallus were everywhere, in temples and festivals, on street corners and in front of houses, mounted on chariots in triumphal processions, even in the wind chimes or tintinnabula of Roman homes [left].
Men in the ancient world were surrounded by images of the sacred phallus because male sexual energy was revered and treated with awe. . . . It’s essential for contemporary men to recapture that sense of the phallus as sacred.
For if we understand that the phallus is sacred, we’ll realize that it’s not to be misused to spread disease or for empty, meaningless sex, but rather to connect physically with the creative power of another man in the awesome and cosmic act of phallic mating, the ultimate celebration of the male-male bond.
