🏺The original kink: Art, Artifacts & Pleasure 🏺

[Cat]

Thank you.
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!

Mhmm.. judging from the way that you need to hold the burin, my concern would be: how to hold it steady and tight enough, so that I can slice out the metal.. While trying to draw a motif...

Yeah.. an odd skill!!!

And yay!! Thaaaaaaaaank you!! I have cleared my desk.. actually moved a bit around in my room, so that it is much easier to draw.
Just.. practice, practice.. practice... But better.. you flatter me!!!

Treasures to you.. That usually means good treasures!!

Makes me think of this scene from A Clockwork Orange.

Seems that Mike Meyers modeled his character, Austin Powers after Roddy's.

I'd be happy to show you how to hold my burin. (cheesy!)

Well... Except the hyper violence and overall unhinged madness..

It is actually rather fitting!!!!

Good to see you, dear Bogey

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.

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.

I want to see more of your drawings!

Heaps on my gallery thread

In a couple years, my work can be in an ancient erotica thread! LOL

He does. I haven't been practicing drawing in decades, but that would be good even in pencil.

Looks like someone walked in on them too!

It DOES look that way, though from another vantage there could be a curved "bench" behind them...

From the Brooklyn Museum site:
Despite the overtly sexual imagery, this composition has important religious content. The procreative union recalls the birth of Horus after the murdered Osiris posthumously impregnated his wife Isis. This legend, one of ancient Egypt’s most important myths, was associated with fertility and resurrection. The six small figures probably represent priests. The bound oryx held by the two attendants at the right signifies the destruction of evil and reinforces Osiris’s triumph.

 

[THROBBS]

Ah ha!

MORE COCKS Penises!

 

[Cat]

Ah ha!

This is bloody brilliant!!!

I need to dive into the Egyptian art I see!!!

Back to our regularly scheduled program.
Portable COCKS Penises ie Dildos

A collection of instruments with phallic forms performed on antler, bone, or stone have been recovered in the context of habitation from different excavations, most of them in France, that have survived to the present (Fig. 5). … Some believe they constitute dildos or domestic masturbating devices, but they could also have been used in rituals.

The only real meaning of these devices is that erection was important enough in these people's minds to merit perpetuation.

Can't talk now, I'm busy.



hmmm...
been there, drawn that too!


Licking and/or sucking one's own cock penis — fun!

Being critical of the source of information
- double check if possible!

So, I have been thinking about something rather important.
- being critical of the source of information, just because it looks like a legit source of information, it truly does not have to be so!

Therefore, to enhance our joy and the thrill of finding some new and exciting artefacts or artwork, I will present this as an example of just how difficult it can be, to be critical of the source:

Discussion of the Hohle Fels phallus



(Possible the world's oldest dildo.. or hammer )

The interpretation of the use of this object is speculative and derived largely from comments made by Nicholas Conard, the primary investigator of the archaeological site, to the media in 2005. Here's how the BBC made that connection in 2005:

"In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints," explained Professor Nicholas Conard, from the department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, at Tübingen University....
Researchers believe the object's distinctive form and etched rings around one end mean there can be little doubt as to its symbolic nature. "It's highly polished; it's clearly recognisable," said Professor Conard

But.. Then there is this article as well:

The scientific paper describing the find is a bit more muted when it comes to asserting the phallus was actually used as a dildo (translated from German using Google):

The position of the assembled fragments of the stone phallus from the Hohle Fels … supports its function as a striking stone and retoucher for the production of flint tools. … Whether the stone artifact had functions related to its masculine symbolism is difficult to answer.


Soooo... Maybe it is an almost 30.000 year old, highly polished dildo..
- Or it is a striking stone, used in the production of flint tools
