Even in pre-history, men were somehow convinced that what women really wanted was: bigger dicks. Bigger dicks than human men could possibly offer.

It's such a weird preoccupation, and it seems like it's got to be deeper than just a cultural thing.

I wouldn't call 600BC prehistoric.

Depends on who your authority is

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago

Well obviously there’s a biological and psychological component, which would transcend cultures. Probably goes back to times in our evolution before we were even considered human.

Listen, not every author is good with hiding their kinks.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Kind of like that part in Genesis where Abraham his wife and presumably God all show that they have a cuckolding fetish while they engage in multiple cuckolding/blackmail games?

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Quentin Tarantino making characters that say the N word over and over or are involved in erotic foot fetish scenarios and then casting himself to play those characters.

"Nigger". Americans refuse to use more standard terminology like "negroid race" or "negros" and prefer just call them just "blacks". Some local racist shit, understandable only to American racists.

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 5 points 6 hours ago

JFC none of those are ok to call black human beings wtf

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Tarintino shows the US as it is/was. N-word is a part of that history

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

And it's just a weird coincidence that it was the character he wrote for himself.

probably just a pragmatic way to save time/$, need a pasty white guy to say N-word...Tarintino about as pasty white as it gets

every time someone whips out a proverb, I just reply with this one.

It's funny seeing them looking it up

[–] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Especially good when you explain that Oholibah is Jerusalem and it's a metaphor for how the Israelites whored themselves out against G-d and continually disregard the Lord's commands. Ezekial is saying, in the most baller ass way, "Israel, y'all a bunch of ho bags, and the Lord has/will let y'all get decimated by the Babylonians and Chaldeans. So, stop being bad" It's a really interesting prophetical book to read.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)
[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Those prophetical books tend to have been rewritten to make them prophetical in retrospect, so it does have that element.

I believe it was King Josiah, ~600BCE, who compiled the books and had them lightly edited into a History of the Kingdom kinda deal. The whole theme of the Kingdom of Judea being the Rightful Leader Of The Tribes really gives it away. There's a lot of convenient propaganda.

[–] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The books that were "rewritten" were the kings of Israel were ranked according to adherence to Deuteronomy Law. The prophetical books remained untouched, I believe. At a quick glance at my books, I don't see anything about rewriting prophecy. Would you mind sharing your knowledge?

[–] waddle_dee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

correct, that is how you refer to these books in religious studies

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

In this metaphor, what does the donkey dick and horse cum represent?

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

For whatever reason I took "emissions like a horse" as someone who farts like a horse. I have to say horse cum makes way more sense.

[–] timeghost@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There's a whole chapter about cum in the bible. Rules about what to do when you cum on your neighbor's goat, what to do if you someone cums on you. Basically the whole thing is part of the tabernacle racket. Pretty much any time someone cums they have to bring birds to the tabernacle to cut in half and set fire to. Probably written by a bird seller if we're being honest with ourselves here.

I…. Don’t believe you. Lmao. Either that or sky daddy’s book is way more wild than I’ve ever considered

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

You really need to read the Song of Soloman. It's basically a dirty love poem.

"Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins."

"This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes."

" I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour."

Genesis 38:9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother's wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

yeah but it’s parable. so like… ?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Horse emissions that different than donkeys? Couldn't just pick a single animal here for reference?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Not if you're a true connoisseur of equine reproduction apparatus like our boy Zeke here.

Zoo keeper! Zoo keeper!

Those two monkeys are killing each other.

(whispers) They're having sex.

Oh.

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

And also, what women thinks, "the best part of sex for me is the mess at the end! The more I have to clean up after, the better, especially in this time of no running water!"

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

Bu-katholics?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

How does this witch know about running water from the future that hasn’t been invented yet?

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 4 points 7 hours ago

Romans had aqueducts at the time this was written

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Streams and rivers?

[–] trslim@pawb.social 7 points 11 hours ago
[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 6 points 11 hours ago

Ah, I guess the donkey dragon romance makes sense

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 6 points 11 hours ago
