Could you live without you Penis?

 A question and utter nightmare for all men....Could you live without your penis?

Of course we aren't talking Lorena Bobbit outright but pertinent to the subject, men take great pride in their penis and it can be theorized and observed that a man's penis drives most younger males entire behavior towards the opposite sex. But does the removal of a man's penis really determine his course of life or his actions?

Feminists and Psychologists alike would argue that a man who loses his penis (and decides to live) would more than likely become more enlightened to women, if in fact one chooses to date him without that very appendage. The argument that a man's entire persona could change from a penis removal can be equated to a woman who has suffered a Clitoridectomy (a vile, cultural practice still being seen throughout the third world which entails a young girl's clitoris being removed). A woman's sensuality isn't centered around her genitalia, but is a man's? And another question, biologically speaking, does a man have any use without his reproductive organ?

We see more often than not in the animal and insect world that the role of the male is to primarily reproduce...not defend or gather food but to reproduce and die. The bee, the Praying Mantis, the Black Widow (and other various spiders), the Rodentia, etc. But there are exceptions to biology, as in the Starfish, where after the offspring is born, the male is obligated to defend and nurture the young, the Oyster, which some species have the ability to change gender at will and those that reproduce asexually. But in regards to the human male, instincts aren't our primary function and what lies in the way of providing, of protecting offspring, is the ego, the male without his ability to reproduce is like a woman who has undergone a hysterectomy.

The very medical breakthroughs of Penis transplants can be said to be in direct response to the human male ego, to re-establish his unvarying pursuit of his own potency regardless of other factors that illustrates life itself, the thing in itself. ABC news has released an article on the upcoming penis transplant schedule to take place, which would without a doubt, be hope for the men who have tragically loss their symbol of masculinity.
