Ok, my mistake. Please accept my apologies.

my reference to Jesus was not intended to be even slightly “jocosa”… what I was trying to do was contrast the mentality of a culture that had as one of its central images a god masturbating, with another culture that had there the image of a man being crucified – a blood sacrifice…

Apesar de concordar com a sua opinião sobre a estupidez em reservar para “experts” este tipo de artesanato, frescos, entre outros, não gostei da referencia jocosa a Jesus Cristo. Sendo ou não praticante temos de respeitar as crenças uns dos outros.

*grin* a porn analysis of history…

As far as I am concerned, erotic art is about the first art that has been produced. The moment people thought about creating images, some artist was creating the first porn. Those ancient Venus statues (Willenburg), often described as ‘fertility symbol’ is more likely ancient porn: the artist couldn’t be bothered giving her more than one eye, but took extraordinary care with her privates.
There’s this urge of scientists to describe all old toys and art things as “ceremonial”, while -as you know- the truth is much closer to modern day man. Why did Betamax fail as vcr system? Because it didn’t have porn. Why did the Internet become so popular? No, not for exchange of scientific information, but for swapping porn. Why were painters in past centuries so interested in mythology? Because it allowed them to paint naked ladies. Why were there so many biblical epics made in early movies? Because they could stick naked ladies in (until, that is, the Hayes office put the censorship foot down).
