Your clitoris is the reason I'm in jail --- Now that I have your attention... !

So I went to the local library the other day to find a pleasure read (pun completely intended). I wanted something challenging and wordy with a sexual undertone.
Enter Federico Andahazi. Hey Sarah! Read my book! It's all old worldly and sexual!
Okay!

So I picked up The Anatomist with the picture of a naked woman and grapes over her vagina in the cover. Winner.

This book was intense. Intense is the right word. Trust me.
Now, I am going to review this literature from a sexpert POV as much as possible.

The novel is essentially a parallel between the protagonist Mateo Colombo and Christopher Columbus. Each discovered something. Columbus, of course, discovered America. Colombo, however, discovered the clitoris. SERIOUSLY?! YES! YES ANDAHAZI!

So this guy gets the hots for a prostitute and he all tries to pursue her and she's all pshhh.... So he meets this other woman who he thinks has a penis. So he touches it and she goes crazy and he's like GASSSSSP. THE CLIT!

Anyway, long story short... this book was a little strange and kind of hard to, pin down if you will. I enjoyed it. The writing is beautiful and the story line is pretty fluent.
So in the end, everyone's all "WITCHCRAFT" and they want to sentence Colombo to death because of his WITCHCRAFT and essentially, I *think* the moral of the story is that the clitoris is both amazing and evil in the same breath.

Applause.

I kind of agree. Putting this to a sex educator's POV, the clit is awesome because it has been created for the sole purpose of pleasure (I love you God), and yet, when one touches it, it could promote other touchings of other areas, potentially without a condom? Thus, STD? Thus, baby? I don't know. It's a stretch, but it's possible.

I see what Colombo is saying, but it's hilarrrrrrrrrious to me. It just further proves that sex equated with pleasure is a taboo issue. Sex does not always equal unwanted pregnancy. It also equals an amount of pleasure. We cannot deny it, and kids know this. Why not give them all the facts.

So I know this didn't have a lot to do with sex ed, but this book had an amaaaaazing quote from it that I had to share:

What would happen if the daughters of Eve were to discover that, between their legs, they carried the keys to both Heaven and Hell?

How coooooooooool is that quote? It's chilling, isn't it? It really makes me think about my vagina and how it's a metaphor for everything. Humans = complex.

Food for thought:

Vagina > Penis

?

HAH! Philosophy. It's a beauty.
