.... I am totally endorsing that!I have to say, all these wonderful exhibits and artifacts would be excellent décor for the luxurious sex club I’m going to build!

@MrsNaughtyCat your thread is a cultural delight. Here's to it's hopeful rise to popularity. Lit should be a little more cultured, and you're definitely championing that.

Indeed: lupanaria were full of these images; there still are stylized cock drawings on the street pavements indicating the direction to the neareast onePompeii also?
Have you been?

I was just reading about Pompeii and their clever ways of showing the way to the nearest brothel:
Just follow the penis
But no, I have mostly been in Tuscany and Sardegna.
I should do something about that!!

That is the temple for Dionysus, right?
Also.. it is for the theatre, right? (And not bacchanalia)

Yes... I read that the phallus is the symbol for Dionysus... nowadays, being referred to as a "dick" is somehow insulting!

Ancient as of yesterday..
Marquis De Sade is much more than welcome!!
To have a whole sexual kink, or tendency? Named after himself.
He is on the VIP list... With all the others

So.. we have elegantly been scratching the surface of the Japanese appreciation of sex and art.
The almost tactile sensation we get when watching the various ukiyo-e paintings..
I want to take us to the present, this festival (o-matsuri) began in 1969.
Kanamara O-Matsuri
The next festival will be the 2nd April

"Dick" is a nick name for Dionysus.Yes... I read that the phallus is the symbol for Dionysus... nowadays, being referred to as a "dick" is somehow insulting!
It's a well known fact.

Ah ha! Found ONE print of my engraving after Hans Bellmer's, "Le Tablouret"
Not in one of the LARGE flat files (though there could be another in there somewhere. I did not look extensively). It was in a small wooden flat file UPstairs.
Original (from the web)
Mine
done free hand with an engraving burin in zinc plate.
Not as subtle, though inking and wiping can make a huge difference.
One can see the flaws in mine, but it's not "too bad" for a 1st engraving.
Sorry, not "ancient", barely "old" and not really "kinky" either.

Thank you.Wow!!

Not steady enough! It is an odd skill to learn — super sharp burin (pushed with the wooden ball in your palm), slicing out a wee sliver of metal, with the plate on a bean bag, so you can turn IT.
You will be, and better! You are well on your way.
There are treasures (to me) galore!

Makes me think of this scene from A Clockwork Orange.So.. we have elegantly been scratching the surface of the Japanese appreciation of sex and art.
