Pete talks sex
Kia ora everyone!
OK, Sex… it had to come up between us sooner or later, right? There are so many puns, so much innuendo and so many weird stories that I actually have no idea where to start. I could talk about sex with regards to gender differences: the whole ‘battle of the sexes’ thing. But honestly, it’s a bit overdone. Likewise, I’ll try to avoid too many cliché jokes, you’ve heard it all I’m sure…
I could start off by telling you about how important it is to know that “suicide girls” despite the name, don’t need the kind of saving you’d think, and have an entirely different kind of “hotline” to the norm. True story, thanks Google.
I think it’s worth moving away from your average superficial sex sub-topics (positions, toys, erotic role-play and the like) and try touching on a bit of the history of an odd microcosm of human sexuality: fetishes. You’d be surprised at 1) how old some of them are and 2) where they stem from.
Forgive me if it seems like a messed up topic but please, let me elaborate a bit:
Autoerotic asphyxiation (strangulation while “getting in touch” with your-self) is both weird and actually a treatment for erectile dysfunction (not being able to “get in touch” with anything) which dates back to the 1600s.
Apparently when watching someone (usually male) getting hanged, it wasn’t uncommon to see an erection pop up. People just put two and two together. I can just imagine the spam mail they would have been plagued with: “Can’t please your wives? Why not try almost hanging yourself in the closet?”
And no, I’m not even kidding with this – google it…or you know, don’t ...it’s not that important, you should probably study something else really. Anyway…
Sadism (when one enjoys cruelty) is the “precursor” or first cousin to Sadomasochism and was named after an odd chap, The Marquis de Sade (a somewhat infamous 18th century French writer).
But don’t make the mistake of thinking that he invented the concept. No, no, interestingly enough we’ve been involved in documented (check out the Tomb of the Floggings in Tarquinia) “S&M” five centuries before we even had the New Testament. Crazy...
Now, I’m going off on a tangent here, but another crazy thought: even a total genius can be a massive pervert. Einstein for example, was married twice (one of the wives was his cousin) and he supposedly cheated on both of them with more than 10 women.
I know what you’re thinking guys: “If only talking about unified field equations and the theory of relativity was as attractive to girls as conceiving them evidently was.” Einstein you slut… [One of the world’s most brilliant minds, and I just called him a slut – take that convention!]
Well, you’ve probably heard enough of this nonsense, so I’m gonna go ahead and leave you to it Unitec! I wish you all the best for the coming couple of weeks and I’ll see ya round!
Chur,
Pete.
