In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.

Y cada vez, despuÃ©s de la pasiÃ³n satisfecha y del amor renovado nos dormimos muy juntos sin importarnos dÃ³nde empieza uno ni termina el otro, ni de quiÃ©n son estas manos o estos pies, en tan perfecta complicidad que nos encontramos en los sueÃ±os y al otro dÃa no sabemos quiÃ©n soÃ±Ã³ a quiÃ©n, y cuando uno se mueve entre las sÃ¡banas el otro se acomoda en los Ã¡ngulos y curvas, y cuando uno suspira el otro suspira y cuando uno despierta el otro despierta tambiÃ©n.
