Though usually portrayed by younger children, the act of drawing a penis on someone’s face is practiced by all ages. Sometimes, this taboo act is done as an offensive prank or with celebratory motives at parties or events with high chances of getting caught.
These manifestations of phallic slang have been traced back to classic psychoanalytic theory. Dr. Pollens, a clinical adult and child psychologist, member of the New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, and member of The Contemporary Freudian Society, says that this behavior falls under this concept.
Drawing dicks is a superficial and juvenile practice that is explored in Gavin Aung Than’s article. As children, before males become acquainted with the female body, seeing the absence of a penis— such as accidentally seeing your mother step out of the shower– can cause extremely confusing and anxiety provoking reactions.
Drawing the male anatomy has a special appeal for many people, regardless of who they are. Dr. Pollen clarifies that anxieties over body dissatisfaction may play into the phenomenon.
People coming up with their own drawings of dicks are most likely worried about how powerful they can be, and not trying to oppress anyone. Drawing dicks is clearly coming out as an act of empowerment.
However, for some people, it can be argued that there is a lack of healthy triggers. By drawing dicks onto everything, the person craves deep satisfaction, which could lead to deviant behaviour.
Why do people love drawing dicks? Artist Michelle Piez told BTRtoday, “Humans have attempted to express love, joy, and the beauty of creation since the dawn of man.” In other words, phallic drawings show these emotions and humor to captivate audiences from cultures around the world.
