The Burros of Northern Colombia & The Men Who Love Them
[ 3 Comments ]Posted on December 27, 2009 by admin in Lifestyle & Culture
Sunday, December 27th, 2009It’s rare that a short film on man and donkey love is informative rather than gratuitous. No butts about it though, these fellows aren’t horsing around. They love their donkeys. Probably too much.
 Well, she IS kind of cute. |
I have a friend who’s getting on in years and occasionally uses the charming expression “I’m so hungry I could eat the north end of a southbound mule“. After learning about the unusual traditions involving donkeys that are practiced in Northern Colombia, I’m wondering if there’s a variation of this expression in Spanish. If you’re easily offended – scratch that – if you don’t like hearing about cultural traditions that involve sex with donkeys, or more importantly seeing such things occurring, stop reading. NOW. But if you can stomach it, VBS.TV – an online network headed up by Spike Jonze – has a feature called Asses of the Caribbean. Which – while it features sex with donkeys – is oddly not exploitive or gratuitous. It just happens to be about locals in Cartegena, Colombia who have a tradition of having sex with donkeys. It’s worth watching, if only to see and hear things like a local cab driver matter-of-factly saying “on Sundays we went into the hills to have sex with donkeys“, and to hear other locals – including the women – explain how it’s just a part of growing up around Cartegena. I would’ve thought that this was a gag of some sort, but in the clip they consult an actual sex expert (Hani Miletski, author of Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia
Google Autocomplete: Sex, Infidelity, Body Parts

Thursday, June 4th, 2009Google helps us ask the important questions, like…why do men have nipples?
Google’s autocomplete function can provide some interesting insights into human thought and interpersonal relations. Below are just a few examples. Have any odd ones of your own to share? I had no idea that the most pressing “Why Do” question in the world was “Why do men have nipples”. And likewise, I’m surprised that neither gender seems to know if the other likes pubic hair. I’m even more surprised that this the number one suggestion for both. I’ve also always thought kissing was a nice simple thing. But no, it’s rife with suspicions of adultery and safety concerns. And c’mon guys. Why so much harsher than the women?
“That Wild Spontaneous Sex We Had The Other Night?”

Friday, October 24th, 2008Our love was tainted…
“Well, I’m sorry to say we shared the gift that keeps on giving”. Personally, I’m eternally grateful that in spite of being an incredible slut over the years (c’mon, I’m a product of the 80′s, we were all a little wreckless) I tested negative across the board for STD’s after the last time I had sex. Which, for the record, was about 7 billion years ago at last count. Anyway, having experienced the anxiety around this topic, I really wonder about the effectiveness of a site like inspot.org, which lets you send an e-card (or an EEE-YU!card) to people you’ve recently had sex with should you discover you had an STD at the time. While I applaud (notice I didn’t say “clap”) the idea behind it, I just can’t imagine a person sitting in a dumbfounded state after discovering they have syphilis or something, saying to themselves “I should really let that one-night-stand know about this”. The site has suggestions for how to tell someone, like: “Try role-playing with a trusted friend…”. Right. You’re gonna tell your friends about your secret place, and everything that’s going on there. Or: “Remain calm. If you’re upset, a partner might think it’s worse than it is.” Like anything could be worse than saying “You know that night we spent together, when you didn’t even have an orgasm? Well now you’ve got the clap too!” Seriously, if the concept works, kudos to them. If nothing else, the site gives you an idea of which towns seem active enough for this to be a concern, so you could either avoid them, or, like me, ponder moving there…
Unprotected Sex Means I Love You

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008No, really baby, I mean it.
In the NPR piece Sex Without Condoms is the New Engagement Ring, you’ll hear brilliant statements like “It’s an engagement more practical than spending money on a piece of jewelry, or a marriage that might not pass the test of time”. Man, if my friends and I had thought up a spin like this as teenagers, how different life would be. Sex without condoms? Well, it feels good, but I’m sure if we’d pursued this path in our youth, we’d have exponentially more fatherless children, friends dead from HIV-related symptoms, and a general pandemic of STD’s. NPR listeners had some thoughts on the topic too. I’m inclined to liken sex without condoms to riding a motorcycle without a helmet. While it shows a passion for the sport, the consequences can be disasterous.
A REALLY Bad Idea

Friday, July 4th, 2008There are some things you just don’t want to use after someone else has.
If you’re easily offended by the topic of recreational sex, stop reading. Also stop reading if you’re even moderately rational. I just want to be on record as saying that I think a dildo rental service is a BAD IDEA. A bad, bad, bad idea. However, the site is well designed; their FAQ page immediately addresses important questions like “Do you include batteries?” and “What about lube?” And boy, am I ever glad I clicked the “NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS” link. How else would I have found out that on September 27, 2005 they stopped lending anal sex toys to customers. On the bright side, if you had one of these types of rental toys at the time, you were invited to keep it without charge as a “courtesy accommodation”. Yech. So, one last thing. Can someone please tell me what a “rabbit vibrator” is?
