While statues are now found mostly in museums and art galleries, sculpture has played an important role in artistic history. Ancient Greek or Roman gods and goddesses probably come to mind but statues are popular in many cultures. Despite its traditionally conservative beliefs, the Catholic church incidentally commissioned not one but two stunning statues of the devil. Their reason for the second one? The first was “too sublime” and would distract churchgoers. 

Context

Whether he goes by the devil, satan or Lucifer, the majority of Christian faiths agree that he was quite the looker. Described as ‘the fallen angel,’ the devil’s good looks were part of his devious charm. He represented the ultimate sinful indulgence; cunning, manipulative and, well, hot as hell!

Rock Hard

St. Paul’s Cathedral in Belgium first commissioned Joseph Geefs in 1837 to create a statue depicting a downtrodden Lucifer having lost to the goodness of the church. Upon receiving the statue, the church declared that “this devil is too sublime.” With his near-complete nudity, boyish handsomeness and lean abs, it violated the sanctity of their space. Fearing it would distract young women from their religious obligations, the church deemed it unacceptable for display. They soon sought a replacement from Joseph’s older brother, Guillaume.

Chiselled, Literally

While no one can attest to Guillaume’s intentions at the time, his response to the commission gives many historians a chuckle. The statue he produced in 1848 to replace his brothers is widely considered far more “sublime” than the original. With his roguishly handsome face, thick hair and yes, literally chiselled abs, Guillaume’s Lucifer wouldn’t look out of place in a Sexy Sinners Calander. 

The Irony

By removing the seductive stone statue, the church inadvertently conceded that their words were no match for a good-looking marble man. Despite the church’s goal to minimise distraction, they reinforced the power of physical attractiveness as a sinful temptation.

While these two charming sinners may not have altered the course of history, they are still phenomenal works of art that tell a story. The original statue by Joseph now resides with the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. Guillaume’s rendition has remained at St. Paul’s Cathedral. The (not so) subtle sexuality that underpins both pieces speaks volumes about the pertinence of attraction in art, religion and life. Overall, however, we are just grateful the church gave us two drool-worthy devils to think about next time we’re feeling naughty.

While the XXX magazine industry blossomed in the 1960s and boomed over the ’70s and ’80s, it soon gave way to DVD and late-night Gone Wild commercials. Now, the overwhelming majority of explicit material is available online and most young men have never known the panic of hurriedly stashing their centrefold under the bed. Despite the cultural waves of celebrating or repressing sexually explicit media, every culture has had some form of erotic media.

The Kama Sutra

Perhaps the most renowned piece of erotic literature is the Kama Sutra. Believed to have been written by Vatsyayana Mallanaga, the Kama Sutra takes a holistic approach to human sexuality and fulfilment. It is divided into seven parts. Those parts discuss everything from the basics of loving someone to the ethical implications of having an affair.

Sexual Union

The second instalment, titled Sexual Union, is usually what comes to mind when someone mentions the Kama Sutra. It features explicit positions and techniques in bed, many of which are familiar to the modern reader. However, there are plenty of variations that can help spice things up!

Consider the Bull Position or ‘Virsha’ which takes reverse cowgirl to a whole new level. Men get to lay back and enjoy the view, while the receiving partner leans forward to grab their partner’s shins or ankles for more control when riding.

If you feel like getting literally tangled in the sheets, try out the Lotus or ‘Padmasana’ position. Sit cross-legged and have the receiving partner sit in your lap facing you, their legs wrapping around your lower back. Then, explore the range of rocking, grinding and gyrating motions available to you in this intimate entanglement.

The Kama Sutra has inspired countless drawings, paintings and sculptures, often in places of worship and art galleries. Many modern reprints of the Kama Sutra come with their own interpretations and illustrations of the poses. 

Insightful & Culturally Intriguing

When it isn’t serving as a how-to for up-and-coming porn stars, the Kama Sutra is among the most culturally significant texts, especially given the insight it offers into the cultural and philosophical attitudes of the time. It discusses key pillars of attraction and compatibility and examines in detail the role of courtesans and wifely duties. The Kama Sutra offers a unique perspective on the most desirable attributes at that time. It’s interesting to see how our understanding of relationships and sex has changed over time.

While many of the beliefs in the Kama Sutra don’t align with modern views, the historical value of the text is undeniable. History often focuses on trade, war and religion so understanding how ancient cultures viewed sex and relationships is important too. Aside from earning a place in museums and galleries, it’s a pretty interesting read to spice up your repertoire.

Whether you’re a literal pro in the bedroom or are new to exploring the world of sexual pleasures, there’s no harm in brushing up on a few tips and tricks. While every partner is unique, if you are getting down & dirty with men, there are a few things you might want to know.

Enthusiasm

It can be nice to sit back and enjoy being a pillow princess, but guys want to be able to lay back and enjoy the attention too. Try adding a little enthusiasm to your sex life, whether it’s initiating the intimacy to start with or playing a more active part in it.

Additionally, while things like deepthroat are on nearly every man’s sexual bucket list, you don’t have to overcome your gag reflex to make him happy! An enthusiastic, messy, sloppy bj will definitely have him feeling like a porn star.

Dirty Talk

It doesn’t have to be crazy kinky but there are plenty of ways to use your words in the bedroom! If he’s doing something right, “yes, like that” or any other positive reinforcement will make him feel good and keep him on track to making you feel good too.

When he could be doing something better, take the opportunity to lock eyes and whisper “I want it like this,” and show him how you like it.

If there’s even a subtle power dynamic at play, putting on a pout and asking for things with a “please” is sure to make his heart skip a beat.

Of course, there is an infinite selection of phrases & pet names that can intensify things further and you can ask your partner what they want to hear in bed!

Kinks

There is an infinite number of kinks and fetishes, and across the years you are likely to hear plenty of unexpected ones! If a partner trusts you enough to disclose an unconventional bedroom request, then do your best to respect their honesty. If it’s something you aren’t open to, then let him know but thank him for his honesty. Communication doesn’t always result in compromise, but it’s important to make sure that everyone is comfortable talking about things. 

At the end of the day, asking your partner directly is the easiest way to figure out what they are after. Don’t be afraid to make the first move or to let your wild side show, most guys love seeing you enjoy yourself. If you have your own kinky fantasies, you should tell him and be prepared to hear about his too! So next time things are getting steamy, go all in and show him how much you enjoy him, I promise he will appreciate it.

Fetishes are sexual interests or preferences that are outside of what is considered ‘normal’. Here at Harlots, we LOVE spicing up time in the bedroom, and there are plenty of reasons why you should too!

Enhanced Arousal

For individuals with fetishes, engaging in their preferred activities or objects can lead to heightened arousal and sexual excitement. We want to maximise every moment of pleasure too!

Novelty and Variety

Fetishes bring that much-needed spice to your sex life. Say goodbye to boring routines and hello to wild and exciting adventures.

Creative Exploration

Exploring fetishes means diving into the world of imagination and creativity. It’s all about trying out new things and having fun with it.

Embrace Your Preferences

Fetishes can be pretty unique, but that’s the beauty of it. Embracing your quirks and fantasies can make you feel more comfortable in your skin.

Compatibility

It can be tricky to find someone who is into the same things as you, but you can come in whenever we are open and discuss things with the ladies available.

Self-Discovery

Finding out what turns you on can be an enlightening journey of self-discovery. You might learn things about yourself you never knew.

It’s all about consent, communication, and being comfortable with your partner. As long as you’re both having a good time and respecting each other’s boundaries, fetishes can add some serious fun to your sex life.

The effects of consuming pornography on an individual’s sex life can vary widely and are influenced by various factors, including the frequency and intensity of use, type of media, personal values, relationship dynamics, and individual differences. It’s important to note that research on this topic can be complex and sometimes contradictory, and different people may have different reactions. Here are some potential effects, both positive and negative, that have been discussed in the literature:

Potential Positive Effects

Increased Sexual Knowledge: Some argue that exposure to a variety of sexual behaviours in pornography can increase sexual knowledge and awareness. Despite this, pornography often depicts extreme, aggressive or risky behaviours.

Solo Sexual Satisfaction: For some individuals, pornography can be a source of sexual pleasure when consumed privately. Porn can also be a good icebreaker when getting intimate with someone new.

Fantasy and Imagination: Pornography may contribute to an individual’s sexual fantasies and imagination, providing inspiration for future scenes.

Potential Negative Effects

Unrealistic Expectations: One obvious concern about pornography is its contribution to unrealistic expectations about sexual performance, body image, and relationships. This can be due to exaggerated reactions, lack of protection or the cosmetic alterations people (particularly women) undergo before filming. Remember that the scenes and bodies you are watching aren’t representative of all sex scenes or bodies.

Decreased Relationship Satisfaction: For some, pornography may lead to dissatisfaction in real-life relationships, particularly if it creates unrealistic expectations. Consider talking to your partner about their pornographic preferences and how the differences may impact your sex life. It is also worth considering the content of the porn you choose to consume. Most pornography focuses on male pleasure, which means it often neglects pleasing the woman or exaggerates her responses for the viewer’s satisfaction. Consider checking out porn with a female lens, created by women for women.

Potential Addiction: In some cases, excessive consumption of pornography can lead to addictive behaviours. This is where individuals may struggle to control their use and may prioritize it over other aspects of life.

Impact on Sexual Functioning: Some evidence suggests that pornography has links with sexual dysfunction. This can be the inability to achieve or maintain an erection or premature ejaculation.

Desensitization: Some studies show that porn consumption might lead to desensitization, where individuals require increasingly extreme or novel stimuli. This may normalise violent or aggressive behaviours which can upset or hurt real-life sexual partners. 

Production: While plenty of pornography platforms promote individual, autonomous content creators, there is the possibility of inadvertently supporting porn that was not made ethically. This may come down to privacy violations, coercion or non-consent or substance use on set. While it won’t affect you directly, supporting these videos can fund further unethical practices. 

Conclusion

It’s important to remember that these effects can vary widely among individuals, and not everyone who consumes pornography will experience these issues. If pornography is having an impact on your sex life or relationships, consider seeking help from a mental health professional. Otherwise, go forth and enjoy the wonders of ethically produced, true-to-life pornography!

Brothels, strip clubs, gentleman’s bars and bordellos can be found practically everywhere. However, there is a tendency for adult establishments to cluster together and form what is known as a ‘Red Light District,’ though nowadays actual red lights are far less common. Take a wander through the historic and current Red Light Districts of Australia…

Sydney: Kings Cross

Kings Cross, located in the heart of Sydney, is among Australia’s most well-known Red Light Districts. In the past, it was infamous for rowdy nightlife & adult entertainment. Recently, the district has undergone significant gentrification and regulation changes, reducing its prominence as a Red Light District.

Melbourne: St. Kilda

St. Kilda, a beachside suburb of Melbourne, has a long history of being associated with the sex industry. While regulations are in place limiting the presence of street-based sex work, St. Kilda is still home to adult venues. The district also shows off a vibrant music and arts scene, making it a unique blend of cultures and lifestyles.

Brisbane: Fortitude Valley

Fortitude Valley, or “The Valley” for short, is Brisbane’s answer to Red Light Districts. It has a colourful history of nightlife and adult entertainment venues, making it a popular destination for partygoers and tourists alike. However, like Kings Cross in Sydney, The Valley has also seen efforts to clean up its image, leading to changes in the types of establishments present in the area. If you are further north in the Sunshine State, consider stopping by Harlots Mackay!

Perth: Northbridge

Northbridge, located in the heart of Perth, boasts a bustling nightlife and numerous entertainment options, including various adult-oriented establishments. Just across the bridge in Burswood is Langtrees Perth; a long-standing, highly regarded gentleman’s club. Northbridge has a vibrant atmosphere, with bars, nightclubs, and strip clubs attracting both locals and tourists.

Adelaide: Hindley Street

Hindley Street in Adelaide has been historically associated with adult entertainment venues, such as strip clubs and brothels. While there have been efforts to rejuvenate this area and reduce its association with the sex industry, it remains a notable location for those seeking adult entertainment options in South Australia.

Darwin: Mitchell Street

Darwin’s Mitchell Street, in the city’s central business district, has a reputation for its nightlife and adult entertainment offerings. This area caters to a mix of locals and visitors, offering various bars, nightclubs, and other adult-oriented venues. It’s worth noting that the dynamics of the sex industry in the Northern Territory differ from other states in Australia.

Canberra: Fyshwick

Fyshwick, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), has several adult entertainment businesses, including brothels and adult shops, mixed among industrial businesses as well. The ACT has unique laws regulating the sex industry, and Fyshwick has been a focal point for these activities in the region. Of course, it is the home of Harlots Canberra, so do come say hello!

Many men face erectile dysfunction (ED) and Viagra has long been the go-to solution. Recently, Kamagra has emerged as a more affordable alternative. Both medications aim to address ED, but they differ in several aspects, including composition, accessibility, and regulatory status. 

Defining Erectile Dysfunction

Before delving into the specifics of Kamagra and Viagra, let’s establish what erectile dysfunction (ED) entails. ED is a medical condition characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can result from various factors, including physical, psychological, or lifestyle-related issues.

Viagra: The Pioneer

Viagra, also known by its generic name Sildenafil, was the first oral treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ED. After Pfizer released Viagra in 1998, it has been the go-to treatment for erectile dysfunction. Viagra functions by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating erections when sexual arousal occurs.

Key Aspects of Viagra

Composition: Sildenafil citrate is the active ingredient in Viagra.

Legality: Viagra is a prescription-only medication, which means it is only available under medical supervision.

Effectiveness: Viagra is extensively studied and highly effective.

Safety: When used as prescribed, Viagra poses no major risks.

Brand Recognition: Viagra is a well-known brand, synonymous with ED treatment.

Kamagra: The Generic Alternative

Kamagra is a generic medication that provides a more cost-effective option compared to Viagra. It is manufactured by Ajanta Pharma, an Indian pharmaceutical company. Kamagra also contains Sildenafil citrate as its active ingredient, making it functionally similar to Viagra.

Key Aspects of Kamagra

Composition: Like Viagra, Kamagra contains Sildenafil citrate.

Legality: Kamagra’s legality varies depending on the region. It is available over-the-counter in some areas but may be considered illegal in others due to patent-related issues.

Effectiveness: Kamagra’s effectiveness is generally comparable to Viagra since both contain the same active ingredient.

Safety: Quality and safety standards for Kamagra can vary depending on where it is produced and purchased.

Affordability: Kamagra is often more budget-friendly than Viagra due to its generic status.

Key Considerations

Legal and Regulatory Status: Viagra is a regulated prescription medication, ensuring medical oversight. Kamagra’s legal status varies, and it may not be subject to the same stringent regulations as Viagra in some regions.

Accessibility and Cost: Kamagra may be more accessible and affordable for some individuals, particularly in regions where prescription medications are expensive or challenging to obtain.

Conclusion

In summary, both Kamagra and Viagra are effective medications for treating erectile dysfunction. They share the same active ingredient, Sildenafil citrate, and work by improving blood flow to the penis.

While both options pose minimal risks, if you experience ED it can be beneficial to talk to your GP about it. They can help you make an informed decision about which option aligns with your individual circumstances. Ultimately, the objective is to choose a treatment that is both safe and effective for your specific needs.

A threesome with two stunning babes is one of the most popular fantasies, and for good reason! There are plenty of reasons why booking two escorts is more than double the fun!

Voyeurism & Exhibitionism

These two fetishes are the perfect pair for a threesome. Voyeurism is the pleasure you feel when watching others engage in sexual activity, and exhibitionism is deriving pleasure from being watched. Regardless of which takes your fancy, booking a double is the perfect way to promise a good show!

For Nervous Clients

While it may seem overwhelming at first, spending company with two babes can actually help relieve any awkwardness; it gives you a chance to sit back and catch your breath while the babes can entertain each other. When a one-on-one intimate moment seems too self-centred take pleasure in knowing that the escorts will gladly share their attention with each other and yourself however you like.

For Thrill-Seekers

If you are growing bored of your usual routine, a double can definitely help spice things up! The opportunities, extras and positions made available by adding a second escort can intensify an otherwise vanilla booking.

Regardless of why you choose to book a double, Harlots escorts guarantee a fantastic time! There are plenty of poses, acts, kinks and fetishes that are made possible with a third person, and even more if you choose to add another!
