A MIS LECTORAS... y al resto

“Amigos lectores que leerán este libro blog, | despójense de toda pasión | y no se escandalicen al leerlo |
no contiene mal ni corrupción; | es verdad que no encontrarán nada de perfección |
salvo en materia de reír; |
mi corazón no puede elegir otro sujeto | a la vista de la pena que los mina y los consume. |
Vale mejor tratar de reír que derramar lágrimas, | porque la risa es lo propio y noble del alma. Sean felices!

Un giornalista italiano (Emilio Fede), uno indu' ed uno mussulmano per un guasto all'auto si fermano in una fattoria dove chiedono aiuto. Il contadino pero' non ha il telefono e puo' solo dare ospitalita' per la notte, ma aggiunge: "Il problema e' che ho solo due letti.
Se uno di voi puo' accomodarsi nella stalla, potremmo starci tutti".
A quel punto l'indu' interviene: "Non ci sono problemi, datemi una coperta e io dormiro' nella stalla".
Cosi' si organizzano.
Dopo un po' pero' si sente bussare alla porta.
E' l'indu' con la coperta in spalla: "Scusate, ma nella stalla c'e' una mucca e la mia religione mi impedisce di dormire insieme ad essa e quindi...".
Allora il mussulmano dice: "Vi cedo volentieri il mio letto.
Datemi la coperta e nella stalla dormiro' io".
Tornano tutti nei rispettivi letti, quando, dopo un po', si risente bussare alla porta.
E' ovviamente il mussulmano, con la sua copertina in spalla: "Scusate, non sapevo, ma nella stalla c'e' anche un maiale, e, capirete, la mia religione...". "Insomma, basta - sbotta Emilio Fede - vado io nella stalla, e cosi' si potra' dormire in pace!".
L'indu' ed il mussulmano si accomodano nei letti, Fede nella stalla e tutti sembrano felici.
Dopo qualche minuto, pero', si sente di nuovo bussare alla porta.
E' il MAIALE ...

Me pregunto para qué las fotos de los papis modelo, si queremos ver la cara y el cuerpo del muchacho. Nadie le da gusto a uno. Este sensacionalismo equivocado.
Raabenmutter [mamá cuervo] se denomina a aquella madre que no cumple como buena madre dedicada a sus hijos, pero ésta debe ser algo especial.
Mamá zopilote, mamá sucha, mamá carcaña, mamá buitre?
No tengo ave para encajarle a su actuar.

Washington (dpa) - Grausame Kindesmisshandlung in den USA: Ein 14-jähriger Junge im US-Bundesstaat Oklahoma beschuldigt seine Mutter, ihn über vier Jahre lang in einem Schrank eingesperrt zu haben. Der Junge sei unterernährt, schmutzig und habe zahlreiche Narben an seinem Körper, berichtet die Polizei.Ihm sei es am vergangen Freitag gelungen, sich aus dem Schrank zu befreien und in die Arme der Nationalgarde zu flüchten, berichteten US-Medien am Montag. Die Polizei habe die 37 Jahre alte Mutter sowie ihren Lebensgefährten festgenommen. Sie wirft ihnen Kindesmisshandlung sowie schwere Vernachlässigung vor.Wie die Polizei weiter berichtete, habe der Junge an seinem Körper auch Brandwunden. Seine Peiniger hätten Alkohol über seinen Körper gegossen und angezündet. Der Junge war nach eigenen Worten zumeist gefesselt gewesen. Während der ganzen Jahre seiner Qual habe er nicht zur Schule gehen können und habe die meiste Zeit in der Dunkelheit des Schranks verbracht. «Er hat an seinem gesamten Körper Narben», schilderte ein Polizist, «praktisch von Kopf bis Fuß».

La memoria olfativa infalible o basta la vista

IChe dice un cieco quando passa davanti a una pescheria?:
--"Ma quante belle femmine oggi!”
"Salve ragazze, fa caldo d'estate!".

Il ladro dei polli
Un contadino si accorge che di notte viene derubato delle galline per cui decide di chiudere il recinto dei polli con un lucchetto.
Il giorno dopo va a controllare e vede che il lucchetto e' stato scassinato.
Allora mette 2 lucchetti, ma il giorno dopo i 2 lucchetti sono saltati.
Grande decisione: si apposta vicino al cancello nascosto nella paglia.
Verso le tre di notte sente dei passi furtivi, poi qualcuno che armeggia con i lucchetti.
Allora allunga un braccio e tenta di afferrare il ladro e lo prende per i coglioni e stringe.
Il ladro si agita.
"Dimmi chi sei o stringo di piu'!" urla il contadino. Il ladro... niente.
Stringe le palle a due mani.
Una forza incredibile... "Dimmelo! Bastardo! Dimmi chi sei!".
Niente.
"Dimmi chi sei!!".
E il ladro, con voce flebile:
"Ugo... il Muto...".

Cieco e sordo alla festa dell'ultimo dell'anno.
Fuochi artificiali.
Il cieco dice: "Bum bim bam".
Il sordo: "Verde! Giallo! Rosso!".

Un muto dice ad un sordo: "Guarda, c'e' un cieco che ci sta spiando!".
E il paralitico: "Scappiamo!".

"Come va?" chiese il cieco allo zoppo.
"Come vede..." rispose lo zoppo al cieco.

Ero in un bar a farmi un bicchierino quando il tizio accanto a me cade dalla sedia.
Lo tiro su e lo rimetto al suo posto, ma ricade. Questa volta lo tiro su e gli dico: "Dove abiti?".
Lo caccio in macchina e lo porto a casa.
Quando lo faccio scendere, prima di arrivare alla porta di casa cade tre volte! Suono, esce la moglie e le dico: "Salve! Le ho riportato a casa suo marito...".
Lei mi squadra e dice: "E dove e' la sua sedia a rotelle?".

Tre donne arrivano in Paradiso e San Pietro dice loro: "Quante di voi hanno tradito il marito? Chi l'ha tradito alzi la mano".
Allora due donne alzano la mano.
San Pietro dice: "Tutte e tre in purgatorio, anche la sorda!".

A volte a Lourdes i film muti si mettono a parlare. (Romano Bertola).

Un anziano accompagnatore turistico si incontra con un collega: "Dove vai domenica?".
"Mah, devo andare ad Assisi... con dei sordomuti.
Capirai, non l'ho mai fatto e sono preoccupato".
"Ma no! Se i sordomuti alzano due dita, vuol dire che devono andare in bagno.
Se mettono la mano di taglio sullo stomaco, vuol dire che hanno fame. Tutto qui.
E' semplice".
Arriva domenica e il gruppo parte.
Dopo un po' di strada, l'accompagnatore vede che tutti alzano due dita.
Fa fermare l'autista alla prima stazione di servizio e tutti scendono diretti verso la toilette.
Dopo un paio d'ore di viaggio, l'accompagnatore vede che tutti fanno segno con la mano sullo stomaco. Fa fermare l'autista al primo ristorante e tutti scendono per mangiare.
L'accompagnatore, oramai rilassato, fa ripartire la corriera.
A un certo punto vede che sono tutti con la bocca aperta e il naso in aria.
Non sapendo che fare, chiama col telefonino il collega anziano che gli chiede coma vada: "Ah guarda, fin qui tutto bene: hanno alzato le dita, e li ho portati in bagno; hanno messo la mano sullo stomaco, e li ho portati al ristorante; adesso, pero', sono tutti con il naso in su e la bocca aperta: non staranno male?".
"Ma no, stanno CANTANDO!".

Beethoven era talmente sordo che per tutta la vita ha creduto di essere un pittore. (Cavanna).

Se sei muto ridi con gli occhi, se sei cieco ridi con la bocca.
Se sei muto e cieco c'e' poco da ridere. (Freak Antoni).

Una volta un muto molto saggio scrisse: "Io non parlo con gli idioti".

"Basta la vista" come disse un sordomuto spagnolo.

Cien peinadas luego de follar

Fuente
Melissa P. Yo, pecadora
LIBRO ESCÁNDALO . Controvertido y superventas, «Las cien cepilladas...» cuenta el brutal despertar sexual de una menor de edad narrado con pelos y señales por ella misma.
Su novela Los cien golpes se publica el 8 de marzo 2004


HISTORIA DE M. Se llama Melissa Panarello, es siciliana y el 3 de diciembre de 2003 alcanzó la mayoría de edad. Antes de esa fecha, era conocida en medio mundo como Melissa P. (había que mantener el anonimato de una menor), la autora del escandaloso libro Los cien golpes (editado por Poliedro, en las librerías a partir del 8 de marzo), que en su Italia natal ha batido records de ventas, alcanzando los 650.000 ejemplares –para hacerse una idea de lo que esta cifra supone, cualquier libro que en Italia llegue a los 20.000 se considera un best séller.
El argumento de la novela, escrita a modo de diario, es muy simple: con todo lujo de detalles, Melissa describe un año de su vida, de los 15 a los 16, y su paulatino descubrimiento del sexo y todas sus variantes. Masturbación, sexo oral, voyeurismo, lesbianismo, sadomasoquismo, orgías, intercambio de parejas… nada es ajeno a la joven, cuyo único sueño en la vida es encontrar a un príncipe azul que la cuide y proteja, sin necesidad de pasar primero por su cama (o por el asiento trasero de su coche). Casi todo, basado en experiencias personales.

Pregunta: ¿Cuánto hay de autobiográfico y cuánto de ficción en el libro?
Respuesta: Digamos que el 90% es auténtico y el 10% restante, inventado. Pero también la realidad ha sufrido ciertas modificaciones debidas a la fantasía y a la narración.

Cuentos de alcoba , lujuria y desenfreno

Fuente:
Los cuentos eróticos, picantes o calientes, son aquellos que nos hablan de los sentimientos más íntimos, de las relaciones humanas más intensas. Hoy toda revista para publico adulto incluye al menos un cuento que nos pones verde de vergüenza de que sepan que los leemos; pero en privado, rojos de rubor nos ponemos al leer sus líneas, al imaginar sus escenas, al pensar en sus imágenes, al soñar que somos nosotros los protagonistas de aquellas palabras impresas.
Pese a este resquemor de leer historias de este tipo en publico, sus orígenes están en antiguas cohortes orientales, en medio de esposas, amantes y concubinas, o en la compañía de geishas y prostitutas; donde reyes, emperadores, sultanes, califas, maharajás y shogunes se deleitaban escuchando estas historias, mientras retozaban con sus amantes. Igual en medio de bacanales y orgías, también en occidente, griegos y romanos escuchaban esos cuentos de las mujeres de la vida. Surgirán de la petición de esos reyes orientales las primeras obras que describen el mundo intimo de la pareja, serían los primeros manuales del sexo.

Invention of sex

"I'd like to meet the person who invented sex and see what they're working on now."

Barbie: fat and menstruation

One of the most common criticisms of Barbie is that she promotes an unrealistic idea of body image for a young woman, leading to a risk that girls who attempt to emulate her will become anorexic. A standard Barbie doll is 11.5 inches tall, giving a height of 5 feet 9 inches at 1/6 scale. Barbie's vital statistics have been estimated at
36 inches (chest), 18 inches (waist) and 33 inches (hips).
According to research by the University Central Hospital in Helsinki, Finland, she would lack the 17 to 22 percent body fat required for a woman to menstruate.

Una de las más comunes críticas a Barbie es que ella promueva una idea irreal de una imagen corporal para una mujer joven, llevando al riesgo que las jovencitas que intenten emularla acaben anoréxicas.
Las medidas muñecales de Barbie han sido estimadas

91,4 (busto), 45,7 (cintura) y 83,8 cm (cul-o lo que se llame)
[90-60-90 son las medidas
prenupciales típicas de magníficas cambalandesas y comunes en los cuentos de hadas y princesas, donde el amor ideal dura más que la cintura ideal.]
De acuerdo a investigaciones del Hospital de la Universidad Central en Helsinki, Finlandia, ella no dispondría de los [17-22]% de grasa corporal requerido por una mujer para menstruar.
Barbie's waist has been widened in more recent versions of the doll

The Way of a Man with a Maid

[El modo de un hombre con una doncella]
wikipedia.org/The Way...

The underlying assumptions which Jack takes for granted, and which form the basis for the book's plot, are:
  • A man has the right to have sex with any woman he wants, at any time he wants, with or without her consent;
  • A woman rejecting a man's advances has committed a sin for which she deserves to be punished by being raped and subjected to particularly humiliating sexual acts
  • All women "want to be raped". However strong and persistent their protest and resistance, should the rapist ignore these protests and go on with his acts, they would (typically, on the moment of penetration) come to enjoy the sexual act enforced upon them. Afterwards, they would likely "come back for more".

The book has been described as having "a quirky sense of humour" and can be considered to be irreverent of the British class system prevailing at the time of writing - all women, be they servants or great ladies, are "equal" in having to submit to the narrator's every sexual whim.

The book's title is derived from the Bible's Book of Proverbs, where the wise King Solomon mentions "The Way of a Man with a Maid" as one of the "things which are too wonderful for me, yea, which I know not" [1]. The ancient king's wonderment is manifestly not shared by the arrogantly self-assured Victorian narrator.

The Miller test

The Miller test is the United States Supreme Court's test for determining whether speech or expression can be labeled obscene, in which case it is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and can be prohibited.

History and details
The Miller test was developed in the 1973 case Miller v. California.[1] It has three parts:

  • Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,
  • Whether the work depicts/describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions[2] specifically defined by applicable state law,
  • Whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. (This is also known as the (S)LAPS test- [Serious] Literary, Artistic, Political, Scientific.)
The work is considered obscene only if all three conditions are satisfied.

Dictionary of Japan Sex

The (Almost) Complete Japanzine

By Jon Wilks

A – Abe, Sada

Few women could erotically asphyxiate their lover, remove his genitals with a household tool, walk “beaming with happiness” through the streets of Tokyo clutching said cock’n'balls in hand and still garner the sympathy of her compatriots. Yet that’s exactly what Sada Abe (阿部定) managed on May 18th 1936. Although convicted, Abe was later pardoned during the celebrations marking the anniversary of Emperor Jimmu’s ascension to the throne. Last seen playing herself in erotically charged bio-pics. The phrase “only in Japan” was coined for occasions such as this.

B – Bukkake

Here’s one for those who believe Japan has given the world nothing. Taken from the verb bukkakeru (打っ掛ける, to dash or splash), this merry little activity was considered a punishment at one time, though we can’t imagine why. Involving a protagonist, several supporting players and a whole lotta treating one’s body like a circus.

C – Chikan

Not to be confused with the delicate Indian embroidery of the same name, chikan (痴漢) are so central to society that in some cities they’ve even inspired their own train. Not that they’re allowed to ride in it, of course. This group of social daredevils get their kicks groping innocents in crowded environments, thriving on the sardine-tight subways of Japan’s larger metropolises.

D – Dekapai

…or “big tits” to you and I, dekapai (デカパイ) are the stuff of otaku dreams. While anime has transformed them into a proud art form, scientifically impossible breasts aren’t merely the stuff of fantasy. Leading dekapai idols include the otherwise miniscule Megumi and the no-holes-barred Anna Ohura, both of whom will retire comfortably on their “natural” assets.

E – Enjo Kousai

The P.C. term for enjo kousai (援助交際) is “assisted dating”, which makes it sound like a recovery program for the romantically challenged. Reportedly on the decline, the phenomenon once provided relief for two subsections of society – Japan’s sexually depressed CEOs and the financially impoverished kogaru, desperate to keep up with expensive trends and transient fashions. Child prostitution or comfort for the elderly? The jury’s still out.

F – Fashion Health

Another oddly misleading phrase that has little to do with its subject. A Fashion Health Massage (ファッションヘルスマッサージ) takes place in a brothel, rather than a gym, and involves everything the male mind could wish for, short of actual intercourse. Apparently.

G – Gokkun

The onomatopoeic cousin of bukkake, gokkun (ゴックン) is the sound of someone swallowing. One human vessel and several eager donors required. ‘Nuff said.

H – “H”

“H” is the first letter of the word hentai (変態) and is therefore afforded supreme status in our little wordbook, for without hentai and its associated pictorial success the world would know little of Japan’s outlandish sexual practices. Suitably perverse, the locals pronounce it ecchi (エッチ). the first word most foreigners learn after watashi wa…

I – Iijima, Ai

Ai Iijima (飯島愛) was gang-raped as a schoolgirl, left home shortly after and made a living doing many of the things we’ve written about here. One of Japan’s most successful porn stars, Iijima retired from the business at the grand old age of 20. Her bestseller biography, Platonic Sex, saw success as a TV series and mainstream movie, and she now earns her keep admiring udon along with the other nonentities on the variety TV circuit. There’s artistic progress for you.

J – Japasen

Sorry, dudes, you’ve been rumbled. For those believing that all you have to do is flex and they’ll come running, japasen (ジャパセン) is the reviled trough into which you have fallen. A code word for foreign men who prey on Japanese flesh, memorizing it may save you several months of bewildered celibacy. Thank God for Japanzine!

K – Kabukicho

Named after a Kabuki theater that never was, Kabukicho (歌舞伎町) is synonymous with all things grimy. Think seedy cinemas, think yazuka, think Kabukicho. For further info, see the article Floating World on page …

L – Love Dolls

It’s unsurprising that the Japanese, along with the Germans, were first to develop the sturdier big sister to the blow-up doll, but few could have foreseen the levels this study in perversion would attain. Manufacturers fight to better each other with new and sinister features, such as the Sayaka Deep Kiss model, now complete with removable, washable vagina and head.

M – Mizuage

As seen in Memoirs of a Geisha (100% accurate), the mizuage (水揚げ) ceremony is the ceremonial deflowering of a maiko to the highest bidder. And curse the blighters who suggest the geisha world is related to prostitution.

N – No-Pan-Kissa

In the mid 80s, No-Pan Kissa (ノーパン喫茶) were the discerning salaryman’s retreat of choice. Involving waitresses, short skirts, no underwear and a lot of mirrored flooring; the phenomenon went into a predictable decline once the no-touching rule was broken. All innocence lost, the establishments moved into seedier surrounds and slowly drifted into the past. Expect the same fate for maid cafes.

O – Onsen Geisha

Again, not quite the thriving workforce they once were, Onsen Geisha (温泉芸者) preceded soapland workers by a few decades, performing services that few governments would shop as a tourist attraction.

P – Prostitution

The Anti-Prostitution Law of 1956 brought the glory years to an end, though various loopholes have been adequately exploited since. Essentially, it’s just coitus that is illegal in Japan, so if you’ve been indulging in anything else, you’re absolutely onside. Go you!

R – Roshutsu

Apparently common practice in the adult film industry, roshutsu (露出) involves the revealing of the body outdoors, often in public places. Not a craze that seems to have spread to everyday society. More’s the pity.

S – San-P

San P (3P) is the involvement of three practitioners in one practice. In other words, a threesome. Can’t imagine Dr. Johnson had this much fun researching his dictionary.

T – Tentacle Rape

A sci-fi fetish that seems to have origins in Shinto and a more playful approach to sexuality. Since woodblock artist Hokusai’s renowned piece The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife, the depiction of women impaled on tentacles has found its way into numerous hentai manga. Yet another cultural asset to be proud of.

U – Uno, Sosuke

In August 1989, Prime Minister Sosuke Uno (宇野宗佑) incensed the nation by not supporting his geisha sufficiently, and subsequently resigned. The fact that he had a wife was neither here nor there.

Y – Yoshiwara

The yoshiwara (吉原) was the area of Edo designated for prostitution in the 1700s. Records suggest that up to 1700 women were put to work at the height of its popularity, escorted once a year to view the cherry blossoms, for which you can assume they were damned grateful.

Catullus XVI

Gaius Valerius Catullus (ca. 84 BC – ca. 54 BC) was a Roman poet of the 1st century BC. His surviving works are still read widely, and continue to influence poetry and other forms of art. Catullus invented the "angry love poem."
Catullus 16 is famous among Catullus's Carmina because it is so sexually explicit that a full English translation was not openly published until the late twentieth century
The poem is famous among classicists as a benchmark of classical obscenity and invective.
Catullus addresses the poem to two unknown men, Furius and Aurelius, who are perhaps competing poets, perhaps mere constructs, since invective poetry was popular at the time. Modern Catullus scholarship speculates that they are likely the same people referred to in Catullus 11 and other poems.[4][5][6] Apparently, Furius and Aurelius find Catullus's verses to be mollici (soft, perhaps "wussy" in modern slang). Catullus responds with intense abuse and invective.

The following adaptation attempts to convey the attitude of this poem:

I'm gonna fuck you guys up the ass and shove my cock down your throats,
yes, you, Aurelius--you fucking cocksucker--and you too, Furius, you faggot!
Just because my verses are tender doesn't mean
that I've gone all soft. Sure, a poet should focus
on writing poetry and not on sex; but does that
mean they can't write about sex? If a poem is
in good taste, well-written and erotic,
it can give massive boners to hairy old men,
not just to horny teenagers. You think I'm a sissy
just because I write about thousands of kisses?
I'm gonna fuck you guys up the ass and shove my cock down your throats!

Latin text English translation
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo, I will bugger you and face-fuck you,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi, Cock-sucker Aurelius and catamite Furius,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis, You who think, because my verses
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum. Are delicate, that I am a sissy.
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam For it's right for the devoted poet to be chaste
ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest(necesse est); Himself, but it's not necessary for his verses to be so.
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem, Verses which then have taste and charm,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici If they are delicate and sexy,
et quod pruriat incitare possunt, And can incite an itch,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis And I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos. Who can't get their flaccid dicks up.
Vos, quod milia multa basiorum You, because you have read of my thousand kisses,
legistis, male me marem putatis? You think I'm a sissy?
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. I will bugger you and face-fuck you.

Anal sex in Shia Islam is not entirely prohibited, and is controversial among Islamic scholars. Disputes over anal sex also appear in pre-modern sources [1] such as the hadith of Sahih Bukhari [2] and Usul al-Kafi. It is practiced by some Muslims as a means of family planning on the authority of above cites sources.[3] It is currently overwhelmingly considered taboo however.

Peccatum contra naturam

[Pecado contra la naturaleza] Source
La hipocresía cristiana y el sexo anal
Print, Paul Avril

Christianism
Historically in European countries it has often been referred to euphemistically as the peccatum contra naturam (the sin against nature, after Thomas Aquinas) or Sodomitica luxuria (sodomitical lusts, in one of Charlemagne's ordinances), or peccatum illud horribile, inter christianos non nominandum (that horrible sin that among Christians is not to be named). Christian religions disapprove of anal sex, although the degree of disapprobation varies greatly between denominations.
Ancient and non-Western cultures
The term "Greek love" has long been used to refer to the practice, and in modern times, "doing it the Greek way" is sometimes used as slang for anal sex. However, homosexual anal sex was far from a universally accepted practice in Ancient Greece. It was the target of jokes in surviving comedies; Aristophanes mockingly alludes to the practice, claiming that "Most citizens are europroktoi (wide-arsed) now."[45] While pedagogic pederasty was an essential element in the education of male youths, these relationships, at least in Athens and Sparta, were expected to steer clear of penetrative sex of any kind. There are very few works of pottery or other art that display anal sex between older men and boys, let alone with adult men. Most such works depict fondling or intercrural sex, which was not condemned for violating and feminizing the boys. Other sources make it clear that the practice was criticized as shameful,[46] and seen as a form of hubris.

In later Roman age Greek poetry, anal sex became a common topos, represented as taking place with "eligible" youths: those who had attained the proper age but had not yet become adults. Seducing children into the practice was considered very shameful for the adult, and having such relations with a male who was no longer adolescent was considered more shameful for the young male than for the one mounting him.
Greek courtesans, or hetaerae, are said to have frequently practiced heterosexual anal intercourse as a means of preventing pregnancy.[48] The acceptability of anal sex thus varied with the time-period and the location, as Ancient Greece spanned a long time and stretched over three continents and two major seas.
For a male citizen to take the passive (or receptive) role in anal intercourse was condemned in Rome as an act of impudicitia (immodesty or unchastity). Free men, however, frequently took the active role with a young slave, known as a catamite or puer delicatus. In fact the Romans thought of anal sex as something specifically "Greek," although Roman men often availed themselves of their own slaves or others in this way.[49]

In Japan, records (including detailed shunga) show that at least some men in relationships with other men did engage in penetrative anal intercourse.

Evidence suggestive of widespread heterosexual anal intercourse in a pre-modern culture can be found in the erotic vases, or stirrup-spout pots, made by the Moche people of Peru; in a survey[50] of a collection of these pots, it was found that 31 percent of them depicted heterosexual anal intercourse, more by far than any other sex act. Moche pottery of this type belonged to the world of the dead, which was believed to be a reversal of life. Thus the reverse of common practices was often portrayed. The Larco Museum houses an Erotic Gallery in which this pottery is showcased. The 19th century anthropologist Richard Francis Burton has theorized that there is a geographical Sotadic zone wherein penetrative intercourse between men is particularly prevalent and accepted; moreover he was one of the first writers to advance the premise that such an orientation is biologically determined.

Preeclampsia & fellatio

Wikipedia.org (excerpt)
It has been suggested that fellatio may, through "immune modulation", have a beneficial role in preventing dangerous complications during pregnancy. Specifically, several research groups[19] have reported that preeclampsia, a life threatening complication that sometimes arises in pregnancy, is much less frequent in couples who have practiced oral sex, and even more rare in couples where fellatio regularly ended with a woman's swallowing of her partner's semen.
The results were statistically significant and are consistent with the fact that semen contains several agents that have important roles in the prevention of preeclampsia, which may arise out of an immunological condition.[18][20][21] According to that view, preeclampsia is caused by a failure of the mother to accept the fetus and placenta, which both contain "foreign" proteins from the father's genes.
Regular exposure to the father's semen helps cause her immune system to gradually "grow accustomed" to their proteins. Other studies also found that, while any exposure to the partner's sperm during sex appears to decrease the chances of various disorders, women in couples who have practiced "sex acts other than intercourse" are less than half as likely to suffer preeclampsia.
The studies noted that it would be impossible to assume conclusively the likely protective effect of the "other sex acts" including oral sex, or that the correlation between these sexual practices was due to the presence of collinearity induced by some other protective factor not noted in the studies: for example, greater overall frequency of sex.[18] The standard way to resolve such confounding questions in medical science would be through a randomized trial, but there are unique challenges to research in sexual health.[22]

El pícaro en Sevilla o en Santa Cruz de la Tierra

La Sevilla de Rinconete y Cortadillo
Sevilla era en esta época el principal puerto de España. Los galeones reales llegaban a esta ciudad procedentes de América con cargamentos de oro y otras riquezas. El comercio exterior estaba también centralizado en el puerto sevillano, donde se encontraba la Inspección Central de Impuestos. Allí se hallaban establecidos comerciantes de muchos países. Debido a todo ello, esta ciudad andaluza era posiblemente en ese momento la más rica de España, de ahí que resultara sumamente apropiada para el hampa. El hervidero de gente que debía ser Sevilla ofrecía muchas posibilidades al pícaro, lo que la convertía en una ciudad atractiva.
...

Sevilla era una ciudad cosmopolita por su carácter comercial y -como toda ciudad cosmopolita- caótica en cierto modo. En ella el hampa se podía mover con cierta facilidad. Otro aspecto de esta Sevilla era la religiosidad, a la que también se alude en la novela que nos ocupa. La doctrina de la Inmaculada Concepción fue acogida en ella con mucho fervor. Así, sabemos que Pedro de Castro, Arzobispo de Sevilla, afectado de este fervor y adoración mariana, ordenaba en 1610 el cierre de los burdeles sevillanos en los días consagrados a la Virgen, al tiempo que recomendaba a las muchachas llamadas María que no trabajasen en ellos. Si bien es cierto que esto ocurría años después de la composición de Rinconete y Cortadillo, no es menos cierto que el ambiente fervoroso ya existía allí, y así lo demuestra un diálogo entre los truhanes en el que uno de ellos manifiesta que "...ni tenemos conversación con mujer que se llame María el día del sábado". Por otra parte hay testimonios de la existencia en Sevilla, ya en aquel tiempo, de cofradías que realizaban procesiones o sacaban pasos con motivo de festividades religiosas. Este fervor sevillano por la Virgen y las procesiones ha sido tan fuerte que se ha prolongado hasta nuestros días.
Los personajes y la sociedad

En cuanto a los personajes y comenzando por los dos centrales, Rinconete y Cortadillo, hay que señalar que no son sino una repetición del mismo tipo.
Ambos han salido de su casa por amor al dinero, pero también vagan con ansias de libertad e independencia. Éstas parecen ser las causas de que abandonen el hogar, en el que, a excepción de Cortadillo, no hay muchos problemas. La miseria, pues, no aparece aquí como la causa de su vagar.
No se descarta la existencia de auténticas cofradías del hampa en aquella época; una especie de "mafia" del siglo XVII. En cualquier caso, es patente que se cometían robos, asesinatos y venganzas por encargo y, muy posiblemente, ello fuera producto de ese amor al dinero característico del momento. El hampa estaba organizada, y no sólo organizada y con santo patrón, sino que, además, tenía hasta su propio lenguaje: las germanías, jerga utilizada por los rufianes de aquel tiempo.
Cabe destacar el fuerte espíritu religioso de la época del que, no sabemos si con ironía, Cervantes hace partícipes a sus personajes. El sentimiento religioso en España estaba muy acentuado: hay que tener en cuenta que se vivía la Contrarreforma. Tal espíritu se da también en los personajes del hampa de la obra; así, vemos como éstos cumplen "piadosamente" con los preceptos religiosos: rezan el rosario, no roban (es decir, "guardan") los viernes, sienten devoción por las imágenes, dan misas por los difuntos... Esta piedad que muestran los hampones puede que no sea sino un recurso utilizado por Cervantes para satirizar a la alta sociedad, muy preocupada por su imagen exterior pero, en realidad, carente de escrúpulos; un mundo dónde tiene más valor la apariencia que la propia realidad. Posiblemente nos encontremos ante una crítica del autor a las fórmulas y ceremonias vacías que con tanta profusión se daba en aquel tiempo, tal vez como consecuencia de las influencias erasmistas que pueden advertirse en Cervantes.
La sociedad que forman los malhechores es una imagen deformada de la sociedad "respetable"; tiene sus leyes, su código de honor, etc., lo que viene a confirmar que sólo se vivía de acuerdo con la forma externa, máxime si tenemos en cuenta que son las clases más elevadas las que encargan al hampa los trabajos sucios.
Valga como ejemplo el caballero que paga a la cofradía por una puñalada de "catorce puntos" a dar a la persona por él señalada.
No menos significativo para demostrar la degeneración y corrupción de la época es el caso del alguacil, funcionario de la justicia que a cambio de dinero hace la vista gorda a las actividades de los delincuentes.

En conclusión, podemos afirmar que el pícaro es un personaje que encuentra un caldo de cultivo muy apropiado para su proliferación en la España de fines del siglo XVI y todo el XVII, en los que la decadencia moral y económica, unida al espíritu contrarreformista, producen una sociedad muy preocupada por la forma exterior y el espiritualismo pero que en la práctica muestra un crudo materialismo.
La ejemplaridad de la novela, por otra parte tan puesta en duda, podría encontrarse en este sentido, y se resumiría en el famoso refrán de "a Dios rogando y con el mazo dando".

Los pícaros del Siglo de Oro

Rinconete y Cortadillo es un retrato picaresco de la actividad delictiva en la época de Cervantes, forma parte de Novelas ejemplares, obras de madurez de Miguel de Cervantes. Sin embargo, la de Cervantes no es propiamente una novela picaresca, pues trasciende los presupuestos que ese género literario poseía, y proyecta a sus personajes hacia una profundidad muy característica, distante por mucho de otras creaciones parecidas, como el Buscón o el Lazarillo de Tormes.
Rinconete y Cortadillo (F. Coullaut-Valera, 1960). Detalle del monumento a Cervantes en la Plaza de España de Madrid.

La literatura picaresca surge en una situación histórica y social concreta como es la que se da en la España de los siglos XVI y XVII. Literariamente el pícaro NO es un producto de esta época puesto que como elemento social lo podemos encontrar en otras sociedades y otros tiempos.
La novedad está en que en esos siglos se produce una proliferación de tales personajes por la confluencia de factores económicos, sociales, políticos y espirituales. Es cierto que la decadencia económica y moral que afectaba a España en aquellos momentos, propició la multiplicación del proletario andrajoso; sobre todo cuando la riqueza que seguía recibiendo España no repercutía en las clases bajas, ni tampoco en la prosperidad general del país, al contrario de otros estados europeos.
De la riqueza de las colonias sólo se beneficiaba una clase social cuya ostentación y lujo producían un fuerte contraste con la miseria de los bajos estratos sociales. Consecuencia directa de la crisis económica fue la aparición de multitud de pícaros, ladrones y pedigüeños.
España quedó rezagada del resto de naciones europeas en las que se fue imponiendo el avance técnico y la vida burguesa.
El desinterés de España hacia estos modelos fue producto de los ideales del Imperio (religión, patriotismo, valor y honor), reforzados por la reacción contrarreformista. Este desdén se manifiesta fundamentalmente en dos formas: la espiritualista, producto de la cual será la literatura mística, y la picaresca, que supone el rechazo de la vida burguesa.
Efectivamente, al pícaro le gusta la aventura y es básicamente "nómada", pues no es amigo de permanecer demasiado tiempo en un mismo lugar.
Ejemplo de ello encontramos en Rinconete y Cortadillo, pues ambos pícaros escapan de sus casas, uno de ellos -Cortado- porque le aburre la aldea.
En el pícaro se manifiesta también el amor al dinero, ese dinero que en grandes cantidades circulaba por España, pero del que se beneficiaban muy pocos.
En este personaje se da también un deseo de libertad e independencia que refleja, en cierto modo, el ideal individualista de la época
Angel González Palencia en su obra La España del Siglo de Oro retrata acertadamente al pícaro de esta manera:
"... es producto del orgullo nacional, en una clase de gentes no habituadas al trabajo, y que viven de ciertos servicios, y no se avergüenzan de comer la sopa de los conventos. Literariamente es el pícaro, hombre que, sin ser verdaderamente criminal, pertenece al hampa; tiene pocos o ningunos escrúpulos, particularmente en proporcionarse medios de mantenimiento; es humano, buen creyente, aunque pecador; no está habituado en modo alguno al trabajo regular y constante, sino que es perezoso y holgazán; su ocupación normal es la de servir a otro; hurta pero no roba, es astuto, ingenioso e imprevisor y simpático"
Sin duda esta detallada descripción encaja con nuestros personajes... y la de la actual mentalidad hispano-latinoamericana.
Y si lo dudan, analicen lo ocurrido durante el segundo boom de la cocaína entre los 80 y 90 del siglo pasado en esta actual República Cocalera Bolivariana de Bolivia, cuando casi todos hacían negocios con el hampa, sea vendiendo tortas para quinceañeras de 1000-5000 US$ o por lo menos pan y tortillas para los trabajadores informales de las fábricas en media selva de la antigua Cocalandia. Los millones de dólares que corrieron por sus manos... los que supieron hacer capital en esas circunstancias y no lo despilfarraron. Hoy todos lo niegan, bueno... casi todos.
Pícaros con dignidad, como se acostumbra expresar hoy día.
Y bien, si aún dudan que toda esa descripición picaresca encaja, porqué creen que más de un par de magníficas cambalandesas* han cedido al encanto de tanto pícaro cambalandés*?

*Cambalandesa: Toda fémina (alguna pícara) que vive en Cambalandia.
*Cambalandés: Todo pícaro que vive en Cambalandia
No, no me obligan a referirlo, lo hago ex pectore, jocoserio:
Érase una vez, en el siglo pasado... dos décadas de oro en un país de pícaros... Picarolandia

Five Ways to Reschool on the Internet

1. How-To and Do-It-Yourself Sites
Instructables shows you how to do just about anything that you can imagine, step by step. Darren, a man’s man who used to plan all his meals around meat, has taught himself to make yogurt and pasta from scratch using Instructables tutorials. Other topics include everything from “How to Pack a Suitcase” to “How to Make a Beanbag Chair.”
Videojug is like the video version of Instructables, with how-to videos on topics like makeup, sports, and even relationships (Check out the helpful “How to Ask a Woman On a Date” and “How to Avoid Trapped Arm Whilst Cuddling in Bed” narrated in a lovely British lilt.) About.com: Video has similar tutorials on everything, like “How to Do the Heimlich Maneuver.” 2. Free and Donation-Based Online Courses
Universities with the Best Free Online Courses lists ten universities that offer free online courses. In particular, check out MIT’s OpenCourseWare, which publishes “virtually all MIT course content” online. At first glance, “How and Why Machines Work” and “Popular Musics of the World” caught my attention. One reader commented helpfully that if you add “site:edu” to Google searches, you’ll limit your results to university websites.
Discover the .Edu Underground, a post on Lifehacker.com, compiles online educational resources by topic from universities around the world.
The Small Business Administration offers online courses in categories such as Starting a Business, E-Commerce, and Marketing and Advertising.
DailyOm features 8-16 week courses with a suggested, but not obligatory, donation in the $25-40 range. Course topics include “Way of Story Writing” and “Overcoming Self-Sabotage.” Neale Donald Walsch, who wrote the bestselling Conversations with God books, even has one called “Becoming Happier Than God.” Neale, did you learn nothing from the John Lennon “more popular than Jesus” incident?
3. Lectures and Radio Programs
Free podcasts are available through the iTunes store, like Comedy Central stand-up or How Stuff Works (e.g. the Wall Street bailout, cannibalism, and Graceland). Click “Podcast Directory” at the bottom of your iTunes screen to browse. Nerdy or not, I like to load up my iPod with This American Life or Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me when I jog or commute.
iTunesU lets users download “educational content from hundreds of top colleges, universities, and educationally focused organizations across the country.” I recommend Stanford primatologist Robert Sapolsky’s lectures on stress, especially “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” and “Stress and Coping: What Baboons Can Teach Us.”
TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design): The TED annual conference “brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).” The site showcases some of the best lectures online, free of charge. Check out my St. Vincent High School and Santa Clara University classmate Mena Trott talk about “How Blogs Are Building a Friendlier World.”
4. Skills Exchange Sites & Applications
Supercool School is a Facebook application that “allows you to coordinate and hold live and interactive online classes.” You can post a request for a class you’d like to take, or one that you can offer, and Facebook users can sign to teach or take those classes. I haven’t taken one myself, but I’ve seen users all over the world registered for classes like “Why Did the Rwanda Genocide Happen?” and “Beethoven: His Life and Music.”
TeachStreet.com “connects people who want to learn with people who teach.” Students can search for learning opportunities and find classes in those topics. Teachers can register and advertise the classes they offer. The site has a presence in cities like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco and is expanding its reach.
TeachMate.org “is a service that helps people who wish to learn things find others who wish to teach them.” Simply fill in “I can learn ___,” “I can teach ___,” and your location, and the site should match you with people in your area who can skills swap with you. Should is the operative word. I have a feeling that TeachMate will be more successful once more people subscribe. So far, I’ve done searches in San Francisco, Sonoma, and Jackson, and they haven’t yielded any results. Anyone want to teach me dance, web skills, or guitar in exchange for Spanish, writing, or cooking?
5. Topic-Specific Blogs
Personal Finance
The Simple Dollar and Get Rich Slowly both target readers with average financial knowledge and take a narrative approach to money management. The Consumerist publishes advice on topics such as how to negotiate with credit card companies and how to expedite customer service.
Productivity
Lifehacker, a site offering “Tips and downloads for getting things done,” teaches you how to “Trim Your Holiday Shopping Costs” or try out “Five Best Desktop Customization Tools.”
43 Folders is a blog with advice for productivity, and solutions to “What sucks for you today?” (your compulsive web browsing, your attention management, etc.)
I tend to get overwhelmed by just how many resources are out there, so Google Reader is a way to keep track of the websites and blogs you follow. Instead of committing to using any of them regularly, you can try out a few and revisit them when inspired. Happy self-educating!
