Here's hoping that Balinese males, deprived of this traditional symbol of Machismo, do not turn to cars for expression. The 'my cock's better than yours' could well turn into 'my car's faster than your', which leads to such carnage on Western roads.
You could well imagine the men of Tenganan, instead of sitting stroking their coloured cocks all day, might become addicted to decking out their wheels in Mags and having overhead foxtails plus go-fast stripes, as they burn down the road with loud exhausta burbling.
What a thought!
