Really? Um, I really, really, really doubt that McCain voters want to boink McCain, and I take personal exception to the idea that I'm voting for Barack because I have a physical interest in him. Way to play into stereotypes about emotional women and gay men.

I do know at least one emotional man who's told me how attractive he finds Palin. He'd never vote for her, but there are men for whom that might be a factor.

Not only am I not voting for Obama because of physical attraction, I apparently am the only woman on earth who doesn't find him esp. sexy.

gross!!! ew, playgirl lady. get your mind outta the gutter! just because YOU think about him in that way does NOT mean we all share your sentiment. its sorta the same idea here-"all black men have giant peens"="all women/gay men want to sex up the senator." way to generalize. yeeesh.

No offense, but I can think of 30 guys I'd like to bone rather than Barack.

Uh, kind of off the spirit of the post, but can I dispute that black men DON'T have bigger dicks? Will someone please second that emotion.

@lisas: Yes. I am voting for Barack Obama. Fact. I am voting for big dicks in my life. Fact. But unrelated! But both are true!

I'll join the chorus saying that this is truly the first time I've ever considered Obama's genitalia. I'd hug him, sure, but I never thought about, you know, the horizontal mambo. He seems like a dad. Maybe an especially handsome, charismatic dad, but still, at the end of the day, a dad.

Oh, I get it! They've got him confused with Will Smith!

Everything totally makes sense now.

Well, in the sense of girth, maybe. But length? I can tell you that's not true.

I happened to get, ahem, acquainted with an African-American male, only to find out he's "short and stout."

So that stereotype can get thrown out into the garbage now.

I understand as Playgirl magazine how you would skew an article so that it pertains to your readers and magazine, but jebus rice that was too much.. Thank GOB i am not a McCain supporter or else, according to this article, i would have had to rip my eyes out from all the nasty fantasy i would be having of him if he were my candidate. ooooohhh shiat i am going to go vom.

As handsome as he is, I've never wondered about Obama's willy. And, I'm definitely not trying to free it.

But, I do think Kinsey was wrong. As much as I'd like to be objective, my personal experiences have led me to believe the stereotype.

Slightly off topic: they've also led me to believe that circumcision is overrated.

@STICKSnSCONES: From my experience, Kinsey was right. And I almost agree about the circumcision thing. My boyfriend has a half-circumcision, and it kicks ass.

I got the gist of the article: Obama's popularity is mainly fueled by his sex appeal, which derives from perceived ways in which he both defies and adheres to stereotypes of his skin color.

What a fucking load of crappity crap. This is the same old spin so many right-wingers and a few lefties have spewed, only with dick size thrown in. It's part of a sickening attempt to dehumanize Barack Obama, and devalue all his policies and stances.

I'm having a hard time with the logic. Does this mean that if people think Palin is hot, she has a big penis? Or that she's black?

@Jamie Sommers: I would say that they think that she has a tight vagina, but after popping out that many kids, I doubt people would automatically assume that she did.

I don't think Obama is sexy. I never thought Bill Clinton was sexy. I'm also not attracted to Rachel Maddow. Just thought I'd share.

In other somewhat related news (because NOTHING can make me think about Walnut's peen -lalalala-I-can't- hear-you!), Gramps is now only up by two points in his home state of AZ. Much more significant than pondering penii.

@Hamsterpants: Yay for "penii"! I am campaigning (in my head, my writing, and to my friends) to have it be an official, real word.
