Lascivious
Function: adjective.
Text: 1 depicting or referring to sexual matters in a way that is unacceptable in polite society— see obscene 1.
2 having a strong sexual desire— see lustful.
I was browsing through the usual late-night cable crap, when I happened upon The History Channel. The program listed was, "The History of Sex."
Suffice it to say, it peaked my interest.
I was unable to cath the entire program, but what I did see of it was fascinating.
...There are some things you should know about me, this being my first entry and all.
First of all, to give you a better idea of some significant background, my Mother is a professional Dominatrix. She is associated with a sort of "clan", if you will, called Serpentarium House. The people that make up this "clan" are the closest thing I have to family. Hell, they ARE family.
I have been raised in a very open setting, and have never been ignorant in the Sex Ed. department.
So, that being said, it peaked my interest. I'm usually attracted to the perverse and macabre to see if there's anything I don't know about it. I consider myself well versed in the realm of sex and fetishism because I have grown up around it. So. Bring it on, History Channel. Tell me something I DON'T know. Impress me.
Well, needless to say, I was not disappointed.
I came in around the time they were discussing the reprocussions the Victorian Era had on our sexual knowledge, identity, and standards of today. You know, for people so outrightedly prudish, they were a bunch of filthy kinky pervs! I found the subject very stimulating (no pun intended.).
I took particular interest in the topic of Victorian Age Erotica. Now, from a literary stand-point, there seems to be a lot left unexplored in this category! I had my laptop at hand while tuning in, so I was immediatly Wiki-ing things of interest that came up. One such search topic was a work of Erotic Literature from the age known as "The Sheik". Apparently, a popular erotic theme in this button-up, high-collared, long-skirted society was the forecful deflowering of innocent virgins.
This theme was common throughout erotica of the time, both in the fields of art and literature. The Sheik is a story of a young girl who gets kidnapped by, well, a Sheik. He forces her into marriage and takes her into his Harem to add to his exstensive collection of wives. He tries unsuccessfully to woo her, and once denied one too many times, finally ravages her. However, the prevailing theme is not the rape, but the epiphany it causes the young victim to have; the girl, after being ravaged, realizes that she loves sex! She adopts an entirely different sexual persona, completely opposing the standards for women at the time. Apparently, men have always been complete closeted hypocrits.
I must say, I am curious as to what more delving into on the subject would result in. I'll surely let you know once my curiosity takes over.
Nice first blog?
Yes, I think it'll have to do.
