Re: [TANGO-L] Tango - gender - sexroles

[John Ward <jmward @BUN.COM>]

Yes - in discussions of tango it seems to be all about art and intellect.
Only once have I ever seen anyone mention sex. It is in N.A. Numminen's
"Tango is my Passion":

"I myself feel passion while walking with my cheek against my partner's
cheek. Passion sometimes reaches excessive levels. My penis rises and
interferes with the dance. Then, especially in the countryside, I hasten
immediately after the dance into the woods, break off a little birch branch
and punish my penis with many sharp little blows. The chastisement makes it
calm down, and I can then go and invite a new girl onto the floor. In the
town I have to hasten into the toilet, take a special penis whip from my
back pocket, and lash the stiff organ with vigorous strokes. This makes it
calm down."


So ladies, if you have ever wondered why your partner dashes off immediately
the tanda has ended, now you know exactly what he is doing.
