Spiritual arousal at revivals, however, was not always limited to
God and the individual worshiper. In 1873 D.J. Davis recorded
his experience of old-time American camp meetings: “Those
who think that a camp-meeting is no place for love-making
are very much mistaken. When passions were aroused and
moral restraints gave way for miles around the camp hundreds
of couples could be seen prowling around in search of
some cozy spot.” (History of the City of Memphis, p 173, as
quoted in Sex and Race by J.A. Rogers.) Rogers con tinued
with this explanation: “Since the camp-meeting
was a primitive affair, those human beings who
were nearest to original Nature, were the leaders,
thus the chief stirrers of the sexio-religious emotions of the
whites were Negroes, most of whom could neither read nor
write. Surcharged with primordial feeling, these totally illiterate
blacks would whip their white audiences to the heights of
frenzy” (p 331). In small towns, lacking more sophisticated
meeting places, the back rows of tent revivals were popular
cruising spots for both gay men and heterosexual prostitutes
during the 1950s and 1960s.
Trial attorneys are another group of speakers who seem to
project sexual chemistry. These people have to deliver intense
emo tional pleas in defense of clients. This responsibility
and strong emotional display sometimes induces erection
in male attor neys. They are often warned by their pro fessors
not to fixate on a female juror because she can pick up on the
sexual energy and feel uncomfortable.
Kokigami
Kokigami (koki: a cloth worn around the waist by Japanese
actors and used as a prop; gami: paper) is the art of wrapping
the penis in a paper costume. The eighth-century Japanese
aristocrats prac ticed the art of Tsutsumi, or packaging. A man
would wrap his organ with silk and ribbons in complex and
intricate designs, and upon entering the bed chamber, offer it
as a gift to his lover. He then enjoyed the physical sensations
as she care fully unwrapped her prize.
Today, the authors Busch and Silver have invented a similar
Coitus à unda refers to sex in water.
form of art. However, instead of ribbons, paper is used as a
disguise or cos tume. The lovers then act out their roles based
on the type of figure selected. There are geese, fish, squid,
and dragons. Busch and Silver, in their book of Kokigami cutouts,
suggest the following dialogue and play for the latter:
“The crafty Dragon likes to breathe his fire into the dark jeweled
cave. Ravaging, vengeful, sly.... ‘Where are my precious
jewels? My treasures? My trophies? Are they hidden there in
your dark cave?’ The Reply: ‘Come on, hot stuff! Careful the
iron gates don’t snap shut and sever your burning tongue!’...
With arms outstretched and fingers curled like claws, move
forward warily with the knees bent. The hips may be flicked
about spasmodically accompanied by the low seductive roar
of a raging furnace.” (Kokigami: The Intimate Art of the Little
Paper Costume by Heather Busch and Burton Silver, p 18.)
The ability to emotionally or sexually arouse an audience appears
to be necessary; without it an audience will not respond
to the desires of the speaker, whether this is to purchase an
object, convert, volunteer, or change their position on an issue.
Speeches that are about sex do not have to condone it. Often
the guilt associated with a minister’s admonitions against this
“vile” act can create greater arousal than a lecture discussing
its merits.
Kabazzah
(Pompoir; Kegel exercises; Snapping pussy.) Kabazzah is
translated as “holder” and refers to the Eastern technique
where the male partner is passive and the female uses only
abdominal and vaginal muscle contractions to “milk” the penis.
Both partners simply relax and enjoy the sensations of the
union while she moves her muscles. Women train for years
before becoming proficient. It is a form of Tantra designed to
increase and enhance time spent with a loved one. There are
still some Eastern prostitutes who have this expertise.
The Japanese also used samurai face masks over the groin
region with a dildo protruding as the nose. Those not interested
in artificial phalli cut out the nose and put their own
penis through it.
Nasophilia
Nasophilia (naso: nose; philia: attachment to) refers to arousal
from the sight, touch, or act of licking or sucking a partner’s
nose. The reasons people are enamored with this activity
varies. Eskimos rub noses when greeting others, and Sioux
Indians traditionally rub noses to express affection; they do
this just as other cultures kiss on the lips.
Magnus Hirschfeld related the case of a young writer who
made wax noses and put them over his own, admired himself
in the mirror, and with a “slight manual manipula tion he
brought about an ejaculation.” Another would hire a gay prostitute,
take him home, and, having placed a wooden clip on
his nose, have the prostitute pull on an attached string while
saying, “I hope this nose is going to be so big that everybody
will be surprised at it.” This was necessary to induce orgasm.
