A Perfect Sex Life
Damn this is fun! 2110 and I am approaching the peak of tonight's drunk. I began with a six-pac of (3.2) Coors Light and a pint of Canadian Mist. I have finished three of the beers and half of the pint. I began about 1600 with the beer. I must be peaking now. Things will go downhill from here pleasantly, if recent history is any guide. Back to the concept of Penis Envy.
My brother and I eventually got sprung from the Catholic prison on 120 Queen Street, but it was clear that we now lived in different worlds. Neither of us knew it at the time but my brother, as a 'circumcate,' suffered from penis envy. We grew up together in uneasy times. We hung with different crowds. We grew apart. This seemed to us at the time to be a natural thing.
My brother seemed to despise me. He seemed to surpass me. He was the first to buy a car. He excelled me in High School. He loved History whereas I thought History was crap. He connected with some priests in high school whereas I connected with none. When I eventually failed the 12th grade he was not at all sympathetic. Indeed, he seemed to delight in my failure. When I failed the 12th grade again he was ecstatic. He wrote in my yearbook, 'Bye!' (tap.)
My brother eventually went on to excel me in every conventional respect. Whereas I only made it to Staff Sargeant in the USAF he made it to Colonel.
I relate this to you in order to ask you the question: is Penis Envy a good thing? Is circumcision a good thing intellectually? My brotherly experience tends to suggest that circumcision is a good thing. On the other hand circumcision leads inevitably to penis envy which is not a good thing.
And who knows about my brother's sex life? I can tell you that my sex life could not possibly have been better. I have experienced a perfect sex life.
