On The Phallus

We shall enquire, in the course of this treatise, from what the effects that bring about the phallus, take their origin. And what causes issue forth from the said member.

It appears to me, that man’s part, functions in such and such a way according to the manner in which the four phallic qualities are mixed.

There are, however, a considerable number of not undistinguished men- philosophers and physicians- who refer action to the principle of phallic energy. Aristotle, in fact, was the first who attempted to bring back the causes of the various special activities to this principle, and he was followed later by the school of Bacchus.

The ancients however; Aristotle and the school of Bacchus, have not been considered to have held a viable account of the origin of the phallus for almost three thousand years. Phallic causation then is the theory which I here posit. 

Phallic Causation

The effects of phallic causation, then, while the animal is still being formed in the reproductive limb, issue from all the different parts of its body (that is genesis); and after it has been born, an effect in which all parts share is the progress of the phallus to its full size (that is growth), and thereafter its participation in the reproductive act (coitus).

The activities corresponding to the three effects mentioned are necessarily three- one to each- namely, Genesis, Growth, and X

Genesis, results from alteration together with shaping. The seed having been cast into the womb or into the earth (for there is no difference), then, after a certain definite period, a great number of parts become constituted in the substance which is being generated; namely phallus.

Growth is an increase and expansion in length, breadth, and thickness of the reproductive member.

Now Nature constructs phallus from bone, cartilage, nerve, membrane, ligament, vein, and so forth, at the first stage of the animal's genesis, employing at this task a faculty which is, in general terms, generative and alterative.

Passing now to the faculty of Growth, the property of the faculty of growth is to extend in every direction that which has already come into existence- that is to say, to extend the solid parts of the phallus, the arteries, veins, nerves, bones, cartilages, membranes, ligaments etc, etc.

I shall say little of X other than it takes issue from an imbalance of spirit in the liver of the possessor of said phallus. When a woman takes the phallus of a gentleman, fills it with air, and then rubs it on ashes near the fire, so as to warm, but not to injure it, it shall become well distended. This shall allow the henious act of reproduction to proceed without obstruction.
