The vibrator, now the undisputed king of sex toys, was born not as an object of pleasure but as a “massager of internal organs”, a medical-treatment to heal women from the annoying “hysteria”.

In the nineteenth century, doctors used the term to indicate intense neurotic disorders that affected middle-class women. The term hysteria comes from the greek “womb” and was thought to be due to a shift of the uterus in the female body. read more & leave a comment

The maid, an old job, decent and respectable, has often given rise to erotic imagery and plots.

Fantasies and stories that you can rarely find outside the world of cinema.

“The housemaid, ” Korean films in competition at the Cannes Festival in 2010, won the award for best actress (Jeon Do-Youn).

Jeon Do-Youn plays Euny, a young waitress engaged in the service of a wealthy family. With her carefree spirit the young woman soon conquers the hearts of everyone but especially the attention of the owner of the house, who decides to exercise over her a far greater power than that of a simple employer.

A morbid and intriguing erotic story…when curiosity becomes desire …

Domaine, di Patric Chiha, Francia/Austria 2009

From April 19 to 21 in Rome there is a film festival organized by the Queer in Action association.

“Beyond”is an erotic film festival that focuses on queer themes.

In the selection of the festival the term queer is applied in its most proper and large meaning; in fact, queer in English means “strange “, “unusual” and not simply “homosexual. ”

The exhibition “Beyond” in this sense tells and explores stories of a contemporary humanity that furiously researches its identity by passing through sensual and erotic tension.

The protagonists of the screened films are creatures in search of themselves and of human warmth, as in “J’ai reve sous l’eau” (France/USA, 2008). In the chaos of relationships the only thing that appears clear is that nobody knows what the object of desire is, and everyone is motivated by strong drives without a clear goal.

Characters that intertwine and destroy loving relationships, eros and thanatos drawing chaotic lives that only in some cases finish with the simple truth of the encounter with the other (and therefore with oneself) as in “Plan B” (Argentina, 2009).

Each film is about real and possible stories, fragments of queer life that belong to everyone as inhabitants of an era and a world.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Is one of the most famous novels of Philip K. Dick that in 1968 investigated the relationship and differences between humans and androids.

From the book was then taken the film Blade Runner, in which we see humanized androids with emotions wondering about the mysteries of life.

In the film, Rick Deckard, the human protagonist, ends up without his knowledge falling in love with Rachel, an android.

Today we could say, poetry aside, that he was suffering from androidism.

Androidism is the passion you feel for dolls or robots with human features. A passion much more common than you might imagine: it seems that the android Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation was, among the cast members, the one that has received more letters from female fans.

We can give a number of reasons: the charm of the icy mechanical force, the desire for someone who will love us and serve us indisputably for all the time we want, or the passion for the interpenetration between man and machine, like in the movie Crash by David Cronenberg.

Whatever the reason for androidism, stay assured that only few are immune.

Just think of all the times you felt excitement chatting with a mysterious intelligence beyond the screen. We are all robots with androidism.
