It’s My Penis

This week’s SONG TO CHEW was written by Geof Morgan.  It's known as THE PENIS SONG or IT'S MY PENIS.  I met Geof many years ago at one of the National Association of Men Against Sexism Conferences.  He's one of the main voices of the feminist men's movement.  We toured together a while through California with Kate Wolfe and Nina Gerber.  His songs are wonderful and insightful.  I do my 'sing-along' version of this song on two of my albums, "Songs On Sex & Sexuality" and "Ebenezer’s Make Over”.  The song really points out how 'loaded' with moral judgements our human sexuality is!  Our penis is as much a part of our body as our finger, but it’s so overloaded with symbolism that it doesn’t have much of a chance to just 'be'.  My version is a bit silly, but this song's concepts are profound.  Many men feel tons of pressure and alienation about our culture's 'laser-like focus' on sex and naked bodies.  We may find someone's body attractive, and we want to stare at it, but then we have to be careful that person doesn't see us staring at them!  It's worth it to bring this stuff up for conversation, because in order for men to help make the world a better place, first we have to heal ourselves!  Check out the podcast below, and I'll be back next week with another ‘Song to Chew’!~ Subscribe to my Songs To Chew podcast = https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peter-alsops-songs-to-chew/id1446179156 ~ CAMPING WITH DADS = https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1 ~ www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop ~ Youtube.com/peteralsop = videos~ Patreon.com/peteralsop = support my music & other artistic endeavors~ www.peteralsop.com/music  = CDs & downloads Get full access to Peter Alsop’s Substack at peteralsop.substack.com/subscribe
