Castration anxiety is an idea put forth by Sigmund Freud in his writings on the Oedipus complex; it posits a deep-seated fear or anxiety in boys and men said to originate during the genital stage of sexual development. It asserts that boys, when seeing a girl's genitalia, will falsely assume that the girl had her penis removed, probably as punishment for some misbehavior. The boy then becomes anxious lest the same happen to him. It is worth noting that in some cultures, notably 19th century Europe, it was not unheard of for par ...

Crass released their third album Penis Envy in 1981. This marked a departure from the somewhat testosterone-driven 'hardcore punk' image that Feeding of the 5000 and its follow up Stations of the Crass had to some extent given the group. It featured more complex musical arrangements and exclusively female vocals provided by Eve Libertine and Joy De Vivre (although Steve Ignorant re ...

Technological escalation describes the fact that whenever two parties are in competition, each side tends to employ continuing technological improvements to defeat the other. Technology is defined here as a creative invention, be it an object or a method of using an object. This is a natural result of mankind's use of our brains, and the nature of science and technology that understanding and innovations build on each other. Escalation is usually a negative term, meaning to make bigger in a bad way. However, if two companies ar ...

Small penis humiliation as a form of sex-play is generally consensual, whereby both the partners enjoy the activity. However, some humiliating experiences regarding penis size may not be consensual, and the effect on the male can be traumatic. Some men who are born with small or very small genitalia suffer from chronic self-esteem problems, exacerbated by the media and popular humor. Some psychologists view pre-occupation with penis size as a symptom of general feelings of inadequacy. This view is confirmed by findings that many men w ...

Small penis humiliation scenarios typically involve an unsatisfied male or female who complains about the size of the partner's penis. In point of fact, many doctors dispute the claim that penis size significantly affects male or female pleasure, citing the lack of nerves deep within the rectum or vagina. A male or female who genuinely and strongly prefers large-sized penises is sometimes termed a size queen. Some practitioners of SPH ac ...

Penis - Etymology. The word is derived from the Latin word for tail, also used to describe the organ, "penis". The Latin word "phallus" (from the Greek "phallos") is sometimes used to describe the penis, though the word originally was used to describe images, pictoral or carved, of the penis [1]. Some derive the Latin word penis from earlier *pesnis, and the Greek word peos = "penis" from earlier *pesos. Penis - Synonyms. For a far more exhaustive and multi-lingual th ...

Most marsupials, except for the two largest species of kangaroos, have a bifurcated penis. That is, it separates into two columns, and so the penis has two ends. The barnacle has the longest penis for its own length: up to twenty times the length of the animal. Urban legend alleges that the dolphin has prehensile control over his penis. In the realm of absolute size, the smallest penis belongs to the common shrew (5 mm or 0.2 inches). The largest penis belongs to the blue whale estimated at over 2 m (about 6 feet).

Technological escalation has been one of the most often-cited factors for the dominance of one civilization over another: those with flint, all else being equal, will defeat those with softer or duller stone spear heads, those with the bow defeat those with only the sling, those with the gun defeat those with the bow. This view was dominant during the Enlightenment where science and technology began to be seen as the only way to approach natural law, subordinating views of mastery by social, moral, spiritual or other means. It ...

Crass' first release was The Feeding Of The 5000, an 18 track 12" 45 rpm EP on the Small Wonder label in 1978. Workers at the pressing plant initially refused to handle it due to the allegedly blasphemous content of the song "Reality Asylum." The record was eventually released with this track removed and replaced by two minutes of silence, ironically titled "The Sound Of Free Speech". This incident also prompted Crass to set up their own record label, Crass Records, in order to retain full editorial control over their material, and "R ...

Crass formed in 1977, based around Dial House, an 'open house community' near Epping, Essex, in England. Whereas the Sex Pistols' anarchism seemed to be a self-consciously nihilistic prank, Crass's stance was more directly linked to the libertarian socialist or communalistic varieties of 20th century political thought. Taking literally the punk manifesto of "Do It Yourself", Crass combined the use of song, film, sound collage, graphics and subversion to launch a sustained and innovative critical broadside against all that they ...

From their earliest days of spraying stencilled graffiti around the London Underground network [4], the band had always been involved in direct action as well as musical activities. In 1983 and 1984 they were part of the Stop the City actions that can be seen as fore-runners of the early 21st century anti-globalisation protests. Explicit support for such activities was given in the lyrics of the band's final single release "You're Already Dead", which also saw Crass abandoning their long time commitment to pacifism. This led to further intro ...

Crass all but retired from the public eye after becoming a particularly irritating thorn in the side of Margaret Thatcher's government following the Falklands War. Questions in Parliament and an attempted prosecution under the UK's Obscene Publications Act led to a round of court battles and what the band describe as harassment that finally took its toll. On July 7th 1984 the band played their final gig at Aberdare in Wales, a benefit for striking miners, before retreating to Dial House to ...
