Excuse me but please look at all the Medieval and Renaissance altar pieces with Jesus masturbating or touching himself, or have the Virgin Mary/St. Anne/St. Elizabeth pointing to the baby Jesus's crotch. . .um, the humanity of Christ in the flesh, the Spirit of God in the physical form of a man. . . what's a man without his manhood. (for further info, see “The Sexuality of Chris in Renaissance Art and in Modern Oblivion by Leo Steinberg, and Caroline Bynum’s responding article)
