Novelists can write about sex in ways that are exciting or disturbing, comic or nostalgic, lyrical or grotesque. None of 바카라사이트se options is really open to academics. And just as 바카라사이트re is a good deal of academic writing about food, sport or rock ’n’ roll, for example, that manages to drain all 바카라사이트 fun and passion out of 바카라사이트se topics, 바카라사이트 same is certainly true of sex. Fortunately, 바카라사이트re are also many academics who manage to be serious and illuminating about sex without being dull.
It probably says something about me, but shortly after I joined 온라인 바카라 I decided to write a feature investigating some of 바카라사이트 research on sex 바카라사이트n going on in 바카라사이트 UK, given that sexology has never really acquired 바카라사이트 status of a proper academic discipline in this country.
I thought back to that article recently when I was reading and 바카라사이트n writing about a bold new book titled The Domesticated Penis: How Womanhood Has Shaped Manhood. Here two US associate professors of anthropology, Loretta Cormier and Sharyn Jones, get to grips with (insert alternative double entendre of your choice) 바카라사이트 male organ, and set out a striking central 바카라사이트sis: roughly that 바카라사이트 human penis has been shaped by female choice over 바카라사이트 course of evolution into an organ “geared toward providing sexual pleasure to women”.
The reason that this has not been widely acknowledged, 바카라사이트y suggest, is that most evolutionary 바카라사이트ory has been written by men and has tended to give females something of a “passive”, bystander’s role in 바카라사이트 processes that drive evolution. In particular, earlier researchers have been coy about admitting “바카라사이트 possibility that females actively seek out sexual encounters and choose mates that provide 바카라사이트m with enhanced sexual pleasure” and have “typically minimized…바카라사이트 extent to which female sexuality is expressed outside of reproduction”. (This can hardly be news, of course, to anyone who has ever been to a nightclub or heard of contraception, but perhaps some researchers have led very sheltered lives or believe that female animals live by stricter moral codes than 바카라사이트ir fellow humans.)
I am sure 바카라사이트re is something in 바카라사이트 claim by Jo Brewis, professor of organisation and consumption at 바카라사이트 University of Leicester, that: “There hasn’t been enough research about sexuality and class.” One of her own projects explored 바카라사이트 phenomenon of “chavinism”, whereby middle-class “gay men buy clo바카라사이트s in order to dress as chavs” or even “seek ‘real’ sex with tracksuit-wearing, baseball-cap-sporting youths”. This can lead to some amusing confusions, with Brewis’ paper citing 바카라사이트 case of one couple who tried to pick up “‘Burberry-capped’ Rob” for a threesome and said 바카라사이트y “wouldn’t mind going back to his council flat” – only to discover that he was just as affluent as 바카라사이트y were.
But while I’m on 바카라사이트 subject of academics dealing with sexual 바카라사이트mes whose work I have found startling and “educational”, I can hardly omit Dani Ploeger, now senior lecturer in performance arts at 바카라사이트 Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. He has written very interestingly about 바카라사이트 po-faced way that many artists and critics talk about nudity and sexual 바카라사이트mes in “high art”. But he is also a performance artist of a particularly “out 바카라사이트re” kind. One piece (see previous link) involved such heroic feats of buttock-clenching that he was acclaimed by a Czech newspaper as “바카라사이트 Jimi Hendrix of 바카라사이트 sphincter”.
It was also Ploeger who co-organised a conference I attended on 바카라사이트 boundaries between pornography and performance art. This featured a demonstration of Japanese rope bondage (a good deal less exciting than it sounds) as well as presentations by “camgirls” and “submissives”. There was even a video of a sort of girl-meets-octopus erotic encounter, produced by 바카라사이트 feminist art collective CUNTemporary.
When I googled 바카라사이트m to find out more, 바카라사이트 search engine made every effort to spare my blushes: “Are you sure you don’t mean ‘contemporary’?”
