The Tiki-with-schlong was part of the "daring" rumpus room humor among adults in the 50s and 60s, and thus integral to the Tiki allure, sort of a white collar rebellious/subversive behaviour. But I have never seen Tikis with erect ones, maybe with unrealistically long ones. New Guinea carvings might have used them to portray the penis sheeths common in some tribes, but the "erect" part in these reports is either due to urban legend or to journalistic sensationalism. And yes Tikis ARE phallic symbols. As my motto goes, "Less virtual reality, more ritual virility!" [ Edited by: bigbrotiki on 2004-10-20 23:29 ]
