Rops

5/17/2014

You (I am addressing Skip) to mention that Rops was a prolific 19th century pornographer. That's where I have heard his name before, the context was a small porn book I picked up at Bookman's when I was working there. One drawing was of the naked woman  being crucified on Christ cross; the other the Prussian soldier leading a woman away with iron collar around her neck. There is hundreds more images on the internet, all of them dripping with sin and horror and de Sadian fascination. I know where the cat was coming from for I have long been trapped between the naughty and the sacred.
The tendency goes way back to 'Toys in the Attic,' that is, the
 things I'd do when I was alone up there, which is of course is masturbation, the first sign
of sexual revolt against the Catholic Church. Somehow some way I got a hold of deck of cards of naked ladies--one was Diane Webber, one of the Va Va Voom girls--and I spattered a lot of seed digging those luscious females. Then on Saturday I'd confess my sins and start the cycle all over again. Hell, since some of my potency has come back--why I don't know --I've masturbated 5 days in a row, which has really cheered me up after all the fruitless wanging I have engaged in since 2004 when I went through radiation treatments. My cock has really gotten hard which is unusual and I can climax in 5 minutes if I want. Sexual rebirth at 78. Nice idea. The next step would be to see if I could reawaken Sue's Libido. I still don't experience ejaculation but the orgasms are very good. Maybe I am just a Frankenstein monster in reverse. Much better than being in a hearse.

Swiss artist H.R. Giger who I recently saw on "Jodo's Dune" doc, died on May 12 after a fall. He was 74. I did notice he did not look very good in the doc.
