Asexuality and the Future
by Anders Porter

But the marketing people have discovered (after lengthy meetings in conference rooms with huge oak tables and cigar smoke in the air) that the people would rather see a little leg than a CT Scan of a colon before and after Special K. Go figure.

Socrates, Plutarch, Plato (or Xenophon) were some of the most well-known. After courtship, each boy would choose his ‘courter,’ and spend a period of a few years in his mentor’s house. Through intellectual and physical exercises, the boy was taught to appreciate spiritual and physical beauty. In addition, they were taught how to be good lovers.


SexLife by a.a. Clifford
A Book Review
The body basically turns into a mass of seething and puss filled sores, and dead flesh. In addition, this disease has killed sexual gratification. The brain has lost its ability to feel pleasure during sex.

It's Been Rumored That
PART 1
by Serban Brebenel
• Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia in the 18th century, had a particular attraction for the livestock populating her barnyard. Indeed, at one time, a story passed around that she had actually found her death while attempting intercourse with one of her…horses. Rumors said that she was crushed in the act. While there is no proof for or against her ‘zoophil’ attractions, the latter story has been proved to be incorrect: Catherine the Great died of natural causes, actually of a cerebral hemorrhage, in 1796. There is no doubt that she has had a very active sexual life: one of her former lovers, Grigori, would procure young men for her from all ranks, although she actually preferred soldiers from her personal guard.

• John Dillinger, the notorious bank robber, was endowed with an exceptionally large penis. Even more than this, it is supposed to be in the possession of one of the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C. How was this rumor brought about? Especially seeing that there is no documentary proof that his penis actually had a large size. The rumor goes back to a picture taken on the autopsy table after his death. One of his arms is raised below the covering cloth and it looks like an erect penis. How could John Dillinger have been shot with an erection?…Well, it seems nobody has pondered on this question…

• Adolf Hitler was actually gay! This is quite a recent theory that was put forward as the missing link between the man’s disastrous personal and political legacy. Lothar Matchan sustains this in his recent book, “The Hidden Hitler”. Together with other researchers, he shows that one of the explanations for Hitler’s persecution of homosexuals during the 2nd World War was the need to hide his own past. More evidence in this sense is given by the killing of the openly homosexual storm trooper chief, Ernst Rohm, on the “Night of the Long Knives”, in 1934. Supposedly, Rohm had evidence about Hitler’s own homosexuality and, in order to hide he traces of his past, Hitler had him killed. Some authors give other ridiculous explanations, for example, of the Jewish genocide: supposedly, Hitler had contracted syphilis from a Jewish prostitute during his stay in Vienna. This seems to be, however, rather far fetched. But that is what some rumors actually are…
