Beyond the sea of mountains religion and myth are one. They love each other night and day paid tribute to the deities by pounding away. myth said "don't be shy my love. ease yourself inside of me. Show me how you aim to please". Religion said "there’s no heaven quite like you dearest. My weapon, blessed in heaven i will pleasure wield. Invite it in and let it stay awhile".

mesopotamian fruit fly

2009-04-27T21:03:00.000-07:00

The Mesopotamian Fruit fly is one of the rare insects that uses its mouth both for eating and as a sexual organ. After mating, the maggots stay in the mouth and feeds with its mother. Its primary food source are fruits and flower petals. They are the only known species of insects that mate for sexual pleasure, even if they have the maggots lurking in thier sexual organ. After mating, the maggots eat the eggs that the male leaves in the female's mouth until they mature and leave the nest that is thier mother.

Although this strange insect has long been extinct. We can se from pyramid hieroglyphics that pharaohs have adapted oral sex from studying this insect.

o fairy wind fly me to thee,

take me to where your thighs surrond

my aching back

stroke my will 'o wispy pee,

with your tendrils of flight

and let our bodies sore

as we bore

to our blood's delight

-love ballad of the will 'o the wisp to the fairy wind

Behind Closed Doors I

2009-03-16T23:46:00.000-07:00

Voyeurism, a compulsion innate in human beings, is being described as spying on sexual activities from a secret location.

What happens behind closed doors has always been a source of interest not only amongst voyeurs, but also the curious. For this is where the sordid and the sensational happens.

Behind Closed Doors is a peep through that carnal being in each of us, that the darkness seeks to hide when the lights are off, but art endlessly sees. A magnified look at “sex”, “pagtatalik”, “kayat” or “iyot”. It involves all the colors, positions, preferences: man to woman, woman to woman, man to man, and everything in between.

It also includes many different forms of confessions that involve the language felt by many, spoken by so few. And so, we express it through our chosen media. This art exhibit does not aim to solely show what the artists think, feel and perceive, but it also aims to awaken. It aims to celebrate sexuality, openly. It is an exposition that calls for sexual exploration, self-satisfaction and the liberating outcome of coitus that most of us fail to recognize and appreciate.

Through our exhibit, we are inviting you to join us in a visual thrill ride of breaking norms, and going beyond taboo to behold sexual forms in a different perspective. If you won’t call it art, then we’ll call it our own perversions. And discover that even the moist little finger that moves in and out of you or the furry little creature that brings you to climax, can be a thing of beauty.

Let us celebrate the human spirit through the pleasures of the flesh particularly, the sexual pleasures or gratifications in different forms.

Behind Closed Doors is viewing sex as an art form, from a not-so-secret vantage point.
