She lets him abuse her whether it be verbal or physical because she knows it’s what he needs. In some sick, twisted way he thrives off of her pain for satisfaction.

With the repetition of these verses the song comes to a crescendo. The tension builds and builds until finally reaching a loud and agonizing climax which represents the type of immoral, raunchy sex Damien is having. He sounds so tortured (and of course horny) that it almost hurts.

A continuation of the metaphor above. God gave him a penis for a reason and that reason was to fuck as many women as possible so again he can’t really be blamed for his infidelity. And as stated before this is not a celebration. There is no smugness or bravado. This is more of a lamentation.

His “rod” is a phallic symbol which he uses to pick up women. Following suit with the self loathing/horny theme of this song, it’s nothing to brag about. He’s not celebrating his male pride, he’s ashamed of it and sees it as a curse. He sounds angry with God for giving him this tool between his legs, implying that he feels there’s nothing he can do to control his sexual desire. He’s going to continue to be unfaithful and that is God’s fault for giving him a penis.

He’s comparing himself to an animal that can’t control its impulses and urges. He takes out this anger sexually yet his sexual desire is the very thing he’s angry about. He may be confused about his masculinity or the machismo masking his insecurity. He’s enraged and horny and this song is the culmination of what that would sound like.
Also track 5 of this album is called Dogs.
Doggystyle is also a very impersonal sexual position where the woman is getting penetrated from behind and neither partner is facing the other.
