[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kembu: [b] Phallic symbolism is also not alien to indigenous African culture. This is especially true during circumcision rites or religious ceremonies. I do agree with you that much of the sexually explicit representation in Greek art is rather symbolic. At the same time, they depicted human sexuality with greater frankness than most other ancient societies. Victorian England would be repulsed by any reference to anything sexual in the first place. But that does not conclusively prove there were no sexual (both heterosexual and homosexual) activities taking place in Victorian England. It has been the same throughout much of Africa, past and present. [/b][/QUOTE] True, phallic representation in Africa is not new but on the contrary very ancient and very common, however the phallus was seen as a procreative and complentary to the vagina, while the Greeks used it to represent agression, dominance, and pure power.
