Just saw maybe an hour and a half of "The History of Sex" on the History channel. Interesting..... I have to say, the Chinese stick out to me as the sickest. I'm sorry, but I think we can all agree that the binding feet thing was really fuckin sick. They liked their women crippled. Sick bastards! I have admiration for the Japanese geisha. I just think it was a really good way of trying to make the best out of a life in society in which all men are pigs. The thought of the way men were in those times makes me enraged and sick to my stomach. It's a miracle that decent men exist at all. They have so much potential to be such a filthy and despicable creature. My personal favorite so far is the Kama Sutra, but the courtship ruins it for me. Whisking a pre-teenage girl away from her family....just not right. It's strange, I'm really mixed on the concept of arranged marriage. I think it works in special cases. I mean, my parents were sort of like an arranged marriage. From what I've heard, my mom cried a lot in the beginning, but she grew into it and they were together for 25 years which seems to be a lot longer than most people these days. But if it were me, I'd rather die! I like the freedom of choosing the one whom I consider worthy instead of the possibility of being stuck with some sappy loser. There are lots of factors that weigh in for me: humor, musical talent, work ethic, stability, and a certain level of intelligence being the main ones. Eye candy is bonus (wink) I wouldn't have trusted my parents to make that decision for me. And then the show mentioned the tantric stuff: massive secret orgies in cemeteries. I was like ok, that is DEFINITELY the line. That's pretty much the point where it begins to seem like you should just banish the freaks to their own secluded sex orgy island and just let em exhaust themselves. mmmmmm yeah, I kinda like the monogamous relationship. I don't feel a need to have a different sex partner for all my multiple moods and desires. I'd rather have the whole package in one. Oh yeah! What really tickled me was the Chinese thinking that men can attain immortality by never ejaculating. HA! Good one! And alas, my ultimate favorite: the Hindus believed that if a man had sex with a menstruating women, he would go blind and deaf. LLLLLOVE IT!
