An actual paragraph from the rough draft my English 101 final paper. Sorry, dudes.

The physical unattractiveness of males extends to the very essence maleness: their genitals. Sigmund Freud, when speaking of the penis, stated that we “never regard the genitals themselves…as really beautiful.” Sylvia Plath, in The Bell Jar described the male genitals as a “turkey neck and turkey gizzard.” Camille Paglia goes even farther in discussing the organ, saying it risks “ludicrousness by [its] rubbery indecisiveness.” Perhaps the greatest proof that male genitals are unattractive – particularly when compared to the female – can be found in the circulation of “adult” magazines. Playboy currently has a monthly United States circulation in excess of three million copies, while Playgirl – which features nude photographs of men – has a monthly circulation of only about two hundred thousand.

One of my favorite poems

"The Moon Versus Us Ever Sleeping Together Again" I sit here, an arch-villain of romance, thinking about you. Gee, I'm sorry I made you unhappy, but there was nothing I could do about it because I have to be free. Perhaps everything would have been different if you had stayed at the table or asked me to go out with you to look at the moon, instead of getting up and leaving me alone with her. - Richard Brautigan Posted 352 days ago | 5 comments
