Let's talk about dicks. Phallic worship. The obelisk.
Hol' up, no homo! Hear me out.
You'll notice that these ancient dick-worshippers weren't constructing floppin', sensually curved animu dicks bursting with cum as one might expect from orgiastic primitives, but proud and perfectly erect structures. I've begun to think there's a reason for this. That, while most philosophers consider this the basest form of worship, we know there's more to these cock-hungry heathens than most realize.
What if the hunt for an impressive erection is naturally the first tangible spiritual practice a primitive peoples might embark on. The first goal that might cause one to try their hand at something akin to energy work and, as more people do it, a steel rod acts as the most obvious proof that someone is advanced in such practices.
In experimenting with renouncing lust, there's something a few of us may have noticed. We were virtually impotent beforehand. One has their genitals fill with enough blood to make it stand up and thinks that's it. For years. Then, after a break from being a habitual masturbator, you achieve an erection so relentlessly steel-like that you question everything. It looks different, it feels different, it emits a different odor and it puts what you had going on before to shame. More importantly, it's so hard that ejaculation becomes temporarily impossible. The power is unreal, but fleeting as you chase it and descend mindlessly back into mediocrity.
If you've achieved such an erection, you'll know it's like you're tensing it with all your might, but without even trying. It can barely be bent out of it's position. For me, it looked like it belonged to someone else and put my old tool to shame. Now what I'm wondering is, what if we're supposed to have that power on call at all times?
The average man thinks his game's on point and any shortcomings are due to genetics. Meanwhile, the average person is always unsatisfied and constantly in a state of chasing fantasies. If I'm right, the current state of things would be no wonder. The average couple's sex life rests on an unstable foundation as the average man has a poor mastery of the most fundamental part of his role in a sexual union. He thinks he's fine just because he's not one of those guys that isn't 100% flaccid. It'd be no wonder that as many as 80% of women have trouble having vaginal orgasms. Perhaps a dong not brimming with enough energy is simply inadequate, regardless of size, shape or technique.
Now I notice this all the time in amateur porn. Before, I only noticed that most guys can't fuck for shit.
Do you remember, before you started masturbating regularly, being able to achieve a painfully hard erection by just willing it? Without a need to think about a fetish or helping yourself with a few strokes. What if that's how it's supposed to be your whole life? Why did the most spooky occultist of all time, Rasputin, also have mad dick powers? I'm sure many trying to renounce lust have noticed more morning wood and more vivid dreams. I've noticed them simultaneously. As if the rod is acting as an astral antenna.
On the other hand, I'm reminded of dear Apollo, prime archetype of our western civ, who demands discipline from his followers in order to become illuminated. He only allows us to ascend if we shed our baser selves. Cool dude, but his little pecker implies everything I just wrote is bullshit. If anyone has any insight, book recommendations, anecdotes, whatever, I'd appreciate it.
