Tom and I are on the same page when it comes to the taboo topic of penises. In other countries the Schlong, dick, pole, or what ever odd name it has is praised as the symbol of life. Well here in the states Tom Ford wants you to look at the penises as an art form. Good ol’ Tom wrote an essay on the subject of male nudity in the spring/summer issue of Britain’s GQ Style:
But, Tom, what if we lived in a world where penises were breasts?
“Imagine … if our suits were entirely designed to show off our penises. Imagine if contemporary fashion demanded that you left your cock hanging outside your trousers, with perhaps just the head trussed up in a tiny pouch like a dick bra. Everyone would see our cocks all the time, in the same way that fashion features women’s breasts.”
American fashion magazines don’t show breasts like European ones do. Do you think nude phobia is a uniquely American problem?
“In Sweden or Japan, or other places … casual nakedness at the sauna or the bath house is part of daily life, but in the places that I call home, the fear factor around nudity seems to be rising. I have always found it ridiculous that, in America, if I wanted to run an ad of a woman with bare breasts I had to retouch her nipples. Now why would a woman’s bare breasts, created as nature intended, be more shocking than a bizarre pair of breasts with absolutely no nipples? What could be more perverse?”
He makes a lot of valid points about the peen in the interview. I bet you anything he’s packing a nice one, its only obvious that when your comfortable about penises your comfortable with your own.
