From a review:

With so much history and religious -cultural reasoning underlying phallic symbolism and worship, I’m personally amazed, as the author appears to be, that Western civilization, for the most part, considers this such a forbidden subject. In the introduction, the Author extends the amazement with the following caveat:
“Contempt for this sacred emblem, as well as degradation and debasement of it, pushes man from the divine reality. It provokes the anger of the gods and leads to the decline of the species. The man who scorns the very symbol of the life principle abandons his kind to the powers of death.”
