A quirky musing on male sexuality in its dumber, more dangerous forms. The militaristic figure on the left, replete with condom headgear, is shooting out both the skewed 8-ball (pool being a rather erotic game if you think about it) and his fiery representative is making unwanted advances to the bird-masked woman. She rests on a bed that is a colorful fish, representing the subtler aspects of eroticism. To the right the water-bearing baby with moon eye watches warily, perhaps as his adult self gets lost in the need for sexual domination and power tripping. A spiral galaxy in negative floats at the bottom, just as a reminder of the vast universe beyond our self absorption.
