The administrators have removed one of my images, showing an erect penis. I'm not angry as I understand the consensual nature of deviantART, but I can't cease to be mystified by this general urge to erase an erect penis from public space and artistic representation. Not only one of the oldest human symbols of fertility and power, an erect penis is simply an object of beauty, like any other part of the human body. Such cultural censorship only means the erect penis must be confined to the shameful ghetto of "pornography." What a shame.
