Gods' or Goddessess in different cultures

In some cultures they worship graven images and they carve it in a shape of Penises. They carve it in a piece of wood and they display it in shrines? Does anyone know the significance? I know its not porn. I've also seen female breasts carved and they worship it. and offer some kind of sacrifice to it. These pagan religions are quite fascinating.

Such symbols often represent the fertility.

I think its just a wierd ritual with no real symbolism.

(actually phallic objects as symbols of fertility is pervasive to virtually every culture and religion)

The first thing wrong with that is the ""worship breasts" part.

They do not worship breasts or a penis. Usually these are just symbols associated with fertility and the like. That is they are Representative images of something larger, some larger concept, a god, etc. It is often an outdated and completely incorrect assumption that the image is itself what is being worshipped, and it has happened to most cultures at some point - including the Egyptians onwards.

"Why look at these filthy barbarians. They worship a hunk of wood shaped like a penis." When in reality it would likely be "they appear to us the symbol of a phallus as a focus of their fertility beliefs, it represents some larger concept."

Why you would tie in porn is beyond me. Is it that hard to believe that some cultures utilise parts of the anatomy for symbolic purposes and not just pornographic objects?
