Today, with the Internet and hashtags, we can study the preferences of each. It is surprising to see just how much each country has its own brand of pornography-in their own image, perhaps. Encrypted pornographic film and detail of a phallic Christ. It left space for a perhaps weak, but entirely real, imagination.
Every child of my generation would watch these blurred films in which more was guessed than seen. I grew up in France with the birth of the encrypted channel, Canal+. This gives way to fascination (from fascinus, which in Latin describes a man’s erect penis, the phallos in Greek). Later on, as the book “La Chair et le Sacré” by Alexandre Leupin showed, the representation of Christ often conceals an erect penis. Kore (which means maiden), had been abducted by Hades to become the goddess of the underworld. Cast your mind back to mythology: only Baubo, by showing her genitals disguised as a face, succeeds in calming the anger of Demeter, whose daughter Persephone, a.k.a. Pornography has no other aim than to reduce divine urges to the principles of flesh and lowly humanity. Ancient Greece then, in turn, consecrated the concept of erotic scenes, whose sole justification was the pleasure of observing fellow human beings giving themselves pleasure. She nevertheless retains signs specific to fertility, despite the obscenity of the sexual parts. We can, of course, date the first pornographic representations back to the Venus of Hohle Fels-in other words, 35,000 before the present day. Fashion photography cut diagonally by Caravaggio.
