@ Rethink bro,
there is a contradiction indeed because a shiva linga is worshipped only in ONE form and that image is consistent. The head of a penis penetrates the female organ not the tail, i mean unless you are a virgin. :)
The other image that the girl is looking down on, the tail is resting on the supposed female private part. So technically your position should be that the Shiva Linga is the image of a male member post penetration, thus the head is inside the female organ. The head is thus not visible. This is the consistent image of a Shiva Linga. The other image you gave us contradicts this consistent image of the Shiva Linga.
@ Patan bro,
educated people should ask other educated people in the relevant field for opinion. I was also under the impression that Linga meant penis but i found out it means "sign" or "mark". The sanskrit word for phallus is Shishna. People in south india add Lingam to their names eg Swamylingam. Hinduism is not taught in temples, people simply go there to pray. Those sadhus are not educated and simply follow rumours and traditions blindly. These misconptions started about 150 years ago due to western scholars. Brahmins learn the holy mantras but even they will be clueless as to what is the actual meaning of those chants. Look at the image of linga with a visible penis head above that Rethink bro has posted. This is exactly how the true meaning of something gets diluted. This is something new. Lingams were not represented that way initially.
