Wasn't it Ayers who in his book wished he had two penises so he could experience it both ways, or was that Obama's, mentor, Frank Marshall Davis who wrote about it in his pronography books?
In a surviving portion of an autobiographical manuscript, Mr Davis confirms that he was the author of Sex Rebel: Black after a reader had noticed the similarities in style and phraseology between the pornographic work and his poetry.
I could not then truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine. In the introduction to Sex Rebel, Mr Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has changed names and identities all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences.
He stated that under certain circumstances I am bisexual and that he was a voyeur and an exhibitionist who was occasionally mildly interested in sado-masochism, adding: I have often wished I had two penises to enjoy simultaneously the double but different sensations of oral and genital copulation.

Another thing that popped into my head while reading this article was Obamas commentary on his mothers relationships with black men. It would appear that Obamas thoughts about his mother being enamored with black men due to their portrayal in the media of the time, may have instead been directly influenced by his associations with Davis. After all, Davis writes in his book, the following, as reported by The Telegraph:
He boasted that the number of white babes interested in at least one meeting with a Negro male has been far more than I can handle and wished America were as civilised as, say, Scandinavia. He concluded: I regret none of my experiences or unusual appetites; for me they are normal.
