I M Potent

Blessed be the English tongue for it empowereth the immoral as also the impotent to publicly claim, in the style of our pachyderm politicians, i m moral, i m potent. Sweet indeed, are the fruits of split words.
The MCP (you guessed right--male chauvinistic pigs) have hijacked potency as a masculine trait, forcing the celebrated Websters International Dictionary to declare potency as "the ability to copulate--usually used of the male". The logical question is what do you say of the feminine capacity to copulate? Why not free potency of the gender bias and make it unreservedly bisexual! Let potency, hereafter be defined as the ability to derive, for oneself, sexual pleasure, ecstasy, and orgasm, hoping at the same time, that the copulatory partner travels the same way. This definition is not only bisexual, but has the merit of being applicable to homosexuals and lesbians. Potency is, then, the successful exercise of your sight and capacity of sexual pleasure.
And there, dear reader, is the waterloo for the supposedly stronger and virile male-of-the-species. Soritbures and scientists have averred that the human female outshines the male in potency by a factor of, maybe, 100. Cleopatra could take 100 lovers in one night. No such accounts exist in the case of Mark Antony or Julius Caesar. Andrey watched a lioness being courted by two lions. One would mount, get tired, the other would mount. The two lions mounted 187 times, got exhausted, and went away, leaving behind the lioness who had the best of both and was still prepared for more. The worlds oldest professional could never have been a male, useless as he is for entertaining any clients. The slur of being a prostitute, on the human female, is a result of inherent masculine impotency. The French call male orgasm "petit de mort" or the small death. Man is potent for a while, impotent the next moment. A woman does not suffer from such potential limitations. Vive le human female!.
Eric Berne, the famed psychiatrist, has an interesting story--Jane and John, post-marriage, wanted to decide who will dominate. John gave some thought and suggested that whoever can pee the farthest should be declared the winner. "Ladies first" said he. Janes stream went a few centimetres. John said "Ill beat you" and saying this he got up to perform. Jane said: "Like me, dont use your hands," Jane literally won hands down!.
A sexologist (female of course) answers questions in the Los Angeles Times. Someone asked if females were largely frigid. The Biblesque reply: "Many are cold, but few are frozen". By a rough estimate, the matters are much worse with the human male. His sexual powers fail more often and it is he who keeps the whole profession of sexology and sex therapy going. The sexologist in turn enjoys a distinct professional advantage. Their male clients rarely, if ever, let others know that the therapy or the tricks suggested by their sexologist are not working nor worth the dimes by their sexologist are not working nor worth the dimes they have had to cough up.
Desmond Morris has described penile erection as an engineering miracle. In fact, our ancestors felt that penile erection, human or animal, was the mysterious manifestation of the VAMAN becoming VIRAT. Hence the phallic worship in India that really boggled the mind of Arthur Koestler. And the Hindu phallic worship in Shiva Temples ardently imitated by Muslims, Christians and Jews, by inventing the ritual of circumcision that laid bare the Linga in every male. Rightly, it has been said that imitation is the best praise.
The human male has sought many a simple or weird measure to attain and sustain potency. Hence the lure for the rhinos horn and the tigers (bony) phallus. Men never got potent but these magnificent animals became extinct. There is the much venerated and profitable chyavanprasa avaleh which is but a distortion of Yauvanprayas avaleh. Keep trying son, and let Zandu and the like harvest handsome profit. Modern sex therapy offers two magical measures: One is the papaverine injections that the person is trained to inject into his own dorsal vein of penis, to enjoy erectional delights up to two hours. The mother often declared -- "Papa-very-in". The other is silastic implant--a state-of-the-art permanent phallic rigidity, mistaken and sold as potency.
In America, it is suggested that males, while dancing with buxom females, should push a pin into the inviting breast to determine if they are dealing with falsies. ( A technical way of making a synthetic mountain of a mammary mole hill). Soon women will have to greet a phallus the same way to realize if they are dealing with pseudo-erection. The females can enjoy the male will have to pretend!.
