		<description>@Tina

I&#039;d categorize this more as a natural curiousity than an obsession.  I am quite confident that if you were to see a dead male sperm whale lying on the beach with its proud genitals prominently displayed, that you wouldd find your eyes and thoughts unavoidably drawn to it.

I do not think that the attention paid the prodigious organ, here or even in Melville&#039;s masterpiece(1 page out of 500), amounts to much more than innocent gawking.  That said I think it would stand to reason that male human should be somewhat more interested in this appendage that more than any other sets it apart from the female.</description>

		<description>I agree with Tina K, this is definitely a male fascination.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, my feelings toward the human version of this appendage are pretty friendly, but I can&#039;t really imagine even feigning an interest in another species&#039; organ for any purpose other than that of pure scientific inquiry.  So I think  the perspective of this entry is perfect, then--it&#039;s not the size that counts, it&#039;s our fascination with it.</description>

		<description>I would argue that only men would be obsessed with whale penises. A women knows  &quot;hung like a whale&quot; would be too dang large.</description>
