PBH / colombia (travelguide, pictures) / post |
Colombia, as we know, has a hyper-sexualised popular culture: The womanising; the rampant marital infidelity; the huge amount of cosmetic surgery; the casual access to prostitution; the constant media images of almost inaccessible female beauty.
My question is: Was it always that way? If not, is it of recent provenance? A product of a post-60s/70s cultural sea-change, whereby the traditional hold of Catholicism and conservative family values has been loosened. Or was it always a place where sex was in the fabric and only lightly concealed by the veneer of 'respectability'?
To extend the debate: Is the rise of the various evangelical faiths, in part, a reaction to the prevailing body-culture? A reassertion (to put it crudely) of the 'spiritual' in the face of the 'earthly'?
Or, in fact, is the sexualisation of Colombian society largely a product of the media and the wishful (or jaundiced) thinking of a few thousand seedy gringo minds? And, in reality, is no different to anywhere else on the globe when it comes to such matters.

elmodefoque says on Mar 1, 2007, 05:21: Sex is rampant all over Colombia. If you can’t get it for free, then a few pesos will solve that problem. My only dissatisfaction with Colombian women when it comes to sex, they don’t know how to give good head. Gringas should come down and give them a few lessons. any colombianita willing to date me, IS UP TO NO GOOD 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

elmodefoque says on Mar 1, 2007, 05:38: Colombia was a very die hard super duper catholic nation. Sexual feelings were suppressed for many generations. Poor kids in the Colombian coast resorted to having sex with burras while the rich kids had sex with their maids. Things began to change in the 70’s and the sexual revolution that America was enjoying since the 60’s had now reach Colombian soil. any colombianita willing to date me, IS UP TO NO GOOD 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

treedoc says on Mar 1, 2007, 10:02: sex experimentation No place like Brazil! Brazil is the sexual epicenter of the universe. Colombia is a distant 2.....But the Colombians are very nice and I am very smitten with them. Looking for the next Colombiana gf as a matter of fact. My spanish is wayy better than my portuguese......

andresote says on Mar 1, 2007, 16:20: Gotta disagree too - the Colombianas I have met were all a lot better and lot more keen at oral than girls from Australia and other countries, and not squeamish about 'cleaning the machinery after use'. But I haven't been with any chicks from the USA and maybe they're real filthy co at ksuckers... I think one difference is that Colombianas generally aren't 'easy' - you gotta put the work in or have the paisa gift of the gab to get round all the bases, whereas you just have to get gringas drunk... el mundo da vueltas y lo que haces puede recaer en ti mas tarde... todo en la vida se paga 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

juanalejo says on Mar 1, 2007, 17:35: Music Traditional music in Colombia no matter the region has a high sexual content in its roots. I think that says a lot. Obviously the sexual openess began in the 70´s but sex as an evident part of society and not a hidden part has been seen since pre-columbian times.

elmodefoque says on Mar 2, 2007, 05:46: hey feliz, don’t worry, your novia is cachaca, chances are she don’t listen much to Diomedes. If she were costeña and heard you say that about Diomedes, I suggest you best not fall asleep, she will cut your throat in the middle of the night.

elmodefoque says on Mar 2, 2007, 06:07: I have a strong connection to Diomedes; we are both from la Guajira of very strong Injun blood. They call him el Cacique (chief) and I’m called el modefoque (el HP) almost the same. We enjoy only low life stuff. He did time in jail and I visited prisons all over the northeast. He’s accused of being a notorious coke/perico head; I’ve been accused of that too. I never touch that stuff. any colombianita willing to date me, IS UP TO NO GOOD 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

elmodefoque says on Mar 2, 2007, 08:03: I totally agree, is just like anywhere in the western hemisphere except in Colombia many gringos, including myself, no longer get the quality of females here in USA as we do in Colombia. Whether they see us as walking ATM machines or el Principe Azul coming to their rescue, the girls available to us are of much better quality in Colombia, mint condition with much lower mileage. any colombianita willing to date me, IS UP TO NO GOOD 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

gringolondinense says on Mar 2, 2007, 08:25: Mr Foque you have to implement your own BOG-CARD system. Each toilet user has to "swipe in" before they use the toilet. The smart card will also contain details of the holder, including diet, weight etc. The toilet will then adjust to the user. You could also introduce a sensor system - anyone weeing on the floor or cubicle will automatically get a ban.

Man Tequila says on Mar 2, 2007, 13:37: This thread IS pretty traumatizing. I was traumatized by the red shirt in the second vallenato video. Not so much the locker room sex discussion. My poop undergoes enough natural variation (e.g. post aguardiente binge) that having a constant supply of water might lead to disaster. Que pena. Aunque no me creas/ si me lo propongo/ lograre olvidarte/ porque a fin de cuentas/ no soy tan cobarde./ Y termino todo una de estas tardes/ no sera dificil buscar algún sitio donde refugiarme/ donde nunca mas vuelvas a encontrarme.
