INHIBITIONS and ILLUSIONS
When the foreskin is fastened, restrained or harnessed, its movement
relative to the glans is inhibited. The Oxford dictionary says an
inhibition is a "restraint on the direct expression of an instinct." What could be a more direct inhibition of the male sexual instinct,
than on the phallus itself . To inhibit: hinder, restrain [Latin - hibit - hinder] - Foreskin conditions consitute an anatomical
inhibition
Anyone with any sort of inhibition does not experiment as freely
in that area. With a boy whose phallus is inhibited this is also true.
With this anatomical inhibition, he does not experiment, he does not
discover, he does not know, and he is simply not as aware of his phallus,
as he would be potentially, (or not as aware of it in the same way
as he would be potentially) if he had no inhibition.
If he's not as aware of, he does not admire, or have as much interest
in his phallus (as he would have potentially ... if he had no inhibition).
When the physical essence of his maleness, what defines him as a
man, is inhibited, the individual cannot real-ise what a man can be
and do anatomically. If a boy with these conditions does identify with
his phallus, any visual or tactile recognition of his sexual identity
would be at most one dimensional, one sided and limited. With the foreskin
retracted the phallus is more interesting simply because of the great
diversity of shape and skin types. In addition the possibility of being
able to move the foreskin to cover and uncover the glans is considerable,
this could be compared to the difference between a snap shot and a
movie.
This is the physical inhibition of an instinct. These conditions
are implicitly sexually inhibiting, and sex is a social activity, thus
they constitute social inhibitions.
AN ILLUSION
The Oxford dictionary says an illusion is a "False impression or
belief . . state of being deceived by appearances". Though a sense
of belief in himself as man - it would essentialy be founded on the
appearance of the foreskin being held forward, it would be correct
to understand this as based on an illusion. - (ie. not a delusion:
false impression or belief, as a symptom or form of mental disorder.)
His perception of his own manhood, and his self image as a man.
. any recognition of or belief he establishes in his sexual identity,
would be based on a misinterpretation of his full potential, it would
be based on the misconception that the foreskin is designed to remain
forward or cause difficulty, tension or pain
Though a sense of belief in his maleness may develop it can never
be founded on facts, it would be based on an illusion
His perception of his own manhood, his self image as a man and any
belief he establishes in his sexual identity would be based on the
misconception that the foreskin is designed to remain forward or cause
difficulty tension or pain. This is a misinterpretation of his potential
as male, an illusion.
This is the physical inhibition of an instinct. These conditions
are implicitly sexually inhibiting, and sex is a social activity. They
inhibit the potential development and the full participation in life
as a man.
I can already hear the voices saying "but that`s not all it takes
to be a man" and yes I agree - and Im only describing one aspect of
the human male.
