When I was in my teens and twenties, my girlfriends and I would go into detail about sex, but overtime other topics started to dominate.
I never understood the penis envy thing. When I was a kid I remember feeling sorry for boys for having to walk around with that thing between their legs. I just assumed it got in their way. When I found out it actually could get hard
, I really felt bad for them- as I assumed it must be embarrassing to have no control over a private part of your body.
I learned a lot about the penis when I was 15 and started going to Art Student's League (life drawing). I remember having a good laugh with another girl over some old guy's penis that looked like a dried up kielbasy. Another guy was hung like a water buffalo and we started to refer to him as The Big Banana, but it was not meant as a compliment. I once saw him (clothed) on the subway and started giggling so much I had to go into another car.
I once had a boyfriend who got drunk and fell asleep nude on the floor of my apartment (long story, probably not what you're thinking). He was still there in the morning, but with an erection. My roommate had a collection of Barbie dolls and I took a Barbie ballerina tutu and put it on his penis. He didn't notice until he went to pee. End of that relationship, men sometimes take their penis' very seriously.
I think as a woman gets older, and changes a few baby boy diapers, the penis thing just becomes another of life's icons. As for oral sex - everything is good when you're in love.
Maybe Kicky should write a play called The Penis Monologues.
