"When photographer Robert Mapplethorpe was asked about his amazing pictures of flowers, he admitted they were actually images of reproductive organs. Indeed, that stamen in the calla lily is mightily erect. Ravarour's work, as boldly up front as it appears to be, is also beyond the obvious or oblivious.

The penis: a dong in a thong or freely hangin'. A missile or an epistle. "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" A prized package or somebody else's junk. A joint. A rutting jut. A prick or a dick. That temple of "male mysteries." Whatever you call it, a cock is like nothing else, especially to its bearer."
