The late Dr. Mary Ruth Wright, who was an associate clinical professor of psychology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, spent years analyzing the psychological power of the nose. She concluded that the nose is as important as the sexual organs to an individual’s self- or body image.
Dr. Wright posited that, like the vagina, the nose is an orifice that can emit mucus and occasionally bleed. Like the penis, a nose has growth spurts in adolescence, contains erectile tissue, and protrudes from the body.
This, Dr. Ellis opines in his book “About Face,” could be a key to understanding why men can be so outraged by the result of their nose manipulation.
While men are famously sensitive about protecting their assets, some psychologists maintain that we all have subconscious fears about extended parts of the human body, including fingers, toes, arms, legs and breasts.
