Sexy geography

by Tasha D. Arreza, Kristina Amanda A. Cruz, and Cathy N. Dellosa

The world may not revolve around it, but sex has surely gotten everyone putting in their two cents on how it should (or shouldn't) be.

From Greece to India, different cultures have their own tales, practices and fetishes. Talk about diversity at its kinkiest.

Electric erotica

The Body Electric school in San Diego caters to men who want to enhance and maximize their erotic potentials and relationships through Tantra, rituals, anal touching, and spiritual healing.

Classes are offered at beginner and intermediate levels, while others are made for gay couples. One of the classes is called "Celebrating the Body Erotic 2," where participants attend a two-day clothes-off session.

Scholarships are also awarded to those who can't afford the tuition, which reaches $14,500.

A long, long time ago in Greek mythology

The very first idea of the condom came from early Greek mythology. King Minos of Cretan minotaur fame was known for his notorious sexual affairs with many women. His wife, Pasiphae, cursed him so that whenever he would ejaculate, he would release beasts like scorpions, serpents, and centipede instead of semen. Procris, one of King Minos' mistresses, then fashioned the very first "condom": she inserted a goat's bladder into a woman's genitals to catch the king's ejaculation and spare the life of the woman having intercourse with King Minos.

And just so you know, condoms today can hold up to two liters of liquid.

Snuff pornography

It is a genre of sexually-explicit films originating from South America. As it name suggests, snuff pornography features the killing or torturing of women as its climax, as if to "snuff" or extinguish a candle.

Japanese sex museums

Sex museums like the "Beppu Hihokan" in Oita-ken, Kyushu and "Hokkaido Hihokan" near Sapporo are commonplace in Japan. The term Hihokan is the euphemism used to call these museums, and is translated as "house of hidden treasure."

The first Hihokan in Beppu was opened in the 1980's by a collector of sexual artifacts who wanted to share his hobby to the public, at the same time making it into a business.

Today, not just in cyberworld

Recent trends have revealed a high demand for sex dolls: eerily life-like dolls made out of synthetic (rubber) and real material (real hair) designed for simulated fornication. While most of its buyers see the dolls as a means for advanced masturbation, quite a number have actually developed a real "relationship" with the sex dolls. Enough for Ryan Gosling (star of The Notebook) to star in Lars and the Real Girl, a movie about a man who falls in love with his sex doll, Bianca.

Official gender

In India, hijra (eunuchs) are a recognized third gender composed of hermaphroditic impotent men who undergo ritualized surgical emasculation in which genitals are removed. The hijra community attracts different kinds of persons with a wide range of cross-gender characteristics.
