7 out of 10
I have been
exhilarated by Boccaccio https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2024/10/los-mejores-cuentos-eroticos-aka-best.html indeed, his Decameron is one of The
Top 100 Best Books of All Time, or 124th, if you consult the newer
site, The Greatest Books of All Time, which is supposed to have a powerful
algorithm
It was not
just a question of art, value, back in the communist days, for in the absence
of other, better material (from the erotica point of view) we were using The
Decameron as ‘stimulating reading’, looking for the passages that described, or
suggested intimacy, sexual acts, and sometimes even…perversions, at least for
those times
Some of the
tales there are still in my mind: take the one where this monk is visited by a
young woman – I hope she was not too young, though there were different standards
back then, and I can’t remember this detail – and tempted by Satan, presumably,
he decides to have sex with her, and lies about it, saying they will put the
devil in hell
We had a
Revolution and I took part in it http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html we got rid of Ceausescu – Trump is a
sort of Orange Ceausescu – although some say it was a ‘conspiracy theory’, and
I maintain that it was a spontaneous uprising, confiscated by neo communists,
and now we have internet porn
One of the
episodes of Boccaccio ’70 has this puritan, pretentious man opposing all
‘obscenity’, things he sees as offensive, only seeing that he is a Taliban
avant la lettre, retrograde and fanatic, we have comedy here, because he
attacks women he thinks are indecent, eventually, he wants a poster to be covered
On this
massive banner, we have the image of Anita Ekberg https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/06/la-dolce-vita-written-with-others-and.html famous for her role in La Dolce
Vita, wherein she has that iconic scene, entering the water of the Fontana di
Trevi, at least I think that was the name of the place
The segment
where she is on the poster, and this fellow wants to have her removed, or
covered by the workers – one of them makes me think of ‘a thing of beauty is a
joy forever’- because he is disturbed by the sex appeal – and now I must say
that at the gym, we had this dispute over looking at the bottoms that are
covered…
But only by
tight shorts, tights that show every curve, one can see anatomic parts, back
and front, on some or most of them, and I say ok, fashions, rules, standards
change, but I am supposed to what? Look away, even if this attracts the
attention (and it is meant to?) and I know this signal is meant for very few
males, tall, handsome, etc., but I happen to be there, and I am just looking,
or even that is not part of the game people play https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/01/games-people-play-by-eric-berne.html
