Re: erect penis

I think that erect phallic symbols in art carry a whole different cart of baggage than breasts. Usually they are deliberately made to be the main point of the piece (har har), to illustrate domination or virility or something. I think you might have stumbled onto my hangup with your (painted) breasts, though. They aren't "masculine", but they have a quality that one doesn't associate with the quiet earth mother fluttery femininity I was kind of expecting.

The new one, with only one breast exposed and that one partially obscured by her hair, is more of what I expected (or was trained by society to expect) to see.
