Affirming, promoting, or characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people. values? Drawing heavily upon Jungian psychology to examine what makes the male mind, body, and sexual impulses tick, Potency explores at length the frustrations and challenges of being male in a former man's world, as well as viable alternatives to male-concentrated power as a way of life. Unabashed in its discussion of male sexuality hand in hand with male power, Potency reaches out to the spiritual as well as the physical aspects of maleness in its search for balance and paths to greater happiness for all human beings. Also highly recommended are the author's previous treatises, "Phallos" and "Castration castration, removal of the sex glands of an animal, i.e., testes in the male, or ovaries and often the uterus in the female. Castration of the female animal is commonly referred to as spaying. and Male Rage". John Burroughs Reviewer re·view·er n.
