Phallus Options

i was thinking about that a male magician could use the physical phallus, in certain kind of suitable rituals, and use it instead of a wand, replace as a much stronger symbol
of chokmah the will. Would this symbolism produce a stronger effect with the huge symbolism it is associated with?
might sound a bit odd.

i didnt know this was such a dee topic. Thank you all.. you beleifs have gave my ideas to place my own morality on. Im quite half and half. I can relate to Vagrantd dreamers philosophy to quite a bit in the beliefs of the feelings to why one would practise magick naked. Thank you for the help... i guess working naked for me is ok, but replacing the phallus with the wand will always be probaly causing subtle sexual impulses, which would ultimatley get in the way of invoking higher forces.
thank you all

i am not much practiced in these ways...but if the point is to transcend the physical, why emphasize a purely masculine feature? True that it is a source of life, and a symbol of fertility...but it might only be appropriate in situations where male and female forces (in the physical realm) are being emphasized. Am i wrong? I understand that the ego often identifies with gender, but unless you are addressing a masculine deity...it may not be appropriate to use a phallus. :
