A culture lesson: Increasing your opera knowledge!

This 1814 painting by the artist Hokusai, "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife," is an example of Japanese "tentacle erotica," which apparently is a 'thing' over there. It was also, according to Wikipedia, the inspiration for the second-act soprano aria "Un di ero piccina" (When I was a little girl) from the obscure opera "Iris" by Pietro Mascagni. An innocent young woman, Iris, has been kidnapped, and she recalls in terror an image she saw in a Buddhist temple when she was a child. (You can find the text and traslation of this aria at the bottom of Page 28 at this link: https://tools.bard.edu/tools/pr-transfers/files/IRIS%20libretto-edited%20%5bMH%5d%20Updated%207.21.pdf
You can also hear the actual piece, sung by the late Mirella Freni, here: https://youtu.be/QcAEsp-0FoQ. The spectacular ending will make the hairs on your arm stand up.

OMG talk about cartoon porn. Cunnilingus by an octopus?

This is hardly the place for that image. I didn't not know what is.

SciFi horror is not new... if indeed it is horror... perhaps the fisherman husband was a cold as one his fish and she fantisizes being ravished by many searching hands and the capable mouth of the octopus. Whatever the interpretation, this print hanging on a man's wall will open interesting fantasies and conversations with a woman guest.

Is this the place for this interesting intellectual venture, I think so. It is not the typical fantasy photo that breastfed men enjoy... me, a bottle baby, I enjoy the diversity and beauty of the main goal of the boudoir which for me is not the woman's breasts. That part is oddly off limits... even the use of the L word would be considered in poor taste by many.

Humm, sex and water animals is not just women's fantasy, this is a story I heard on NPR decades ago, the story about a love affair between a college student and a bottlenose dolphin that was read in installments.

The author... "Malcolm J. Brenner (born 9 May 1951) is an American author from New Jersey, journalist, and zoophile;[1] He is best known for his controversial novel Wet Goddess (2009), about a love affair between a college student and a bottlenose dolphin in the 1970s."

I'm the same age and had the same thought. We're still alive.

One of Hokusai famous. Not his Most famous. That would be his print, "The Wave"....

Bestiality is a no-no in the general US it is true, but only as photographic images. Drawings and paintings, well that is just fine. You can find cartoons and drawings/paintings of such content on locations like DeviantArt.

As historic/art reference, May Ray had a large Exabition of this style work at the Museum of Modern Art is San Fransico around 1960. This site would take exception to a post of Man Ray's The Four Seasons, but you can see it published in art books about Man Ray.

The British exiled the Puritans and they are still here in the USA. Movie censorship accidentally allowed the multi-sexual positions sculptured background wall to be shown in the fight at the top of the temple in the movie Gunga Din. Sorry, I could not find a reference photo.
