Dictionary of Perversions: Penetrating passive pages Printer Friendly Page  Send this Story to a Friend
by Gert Hekma, in Columns & Opinions

Pages are men who submit to women. Their perversion is called pageism. For a woman submitting to a man there is no expression since this is supposed to be natural. For men submitting to another man, for money, lust or power, there are many expressions: slave, slut, captive, whoreboy, she-male, masochist. But in gay circles I never heard anybody using the word page. It just sounds too tame, too dull.

When I smell perfume, I`m gone. It`s banned from sex parties and leather bars and rightfully so. Yet some perverts` eyes get veiled and their organ rises smelling scents. For some these are perfumes or sweet soaps, for others sweat, sperm, shit, piss, cheese.
Passivism stands for submission and also for the desire to be penetrated in the mouth or anus. In the works of De Sade a perfect penetration is the cleaving of the sphincter muscle. No pacifism in such passivism. Penetration itself doesn`t really belong to the perversions, whether it concerns the mouth or ass, or is done with a dick, dildo, vibrator, finger or fist.
The Romans knew of anal penetration as a punishment for cowardly soldiers. In the prisons in the US almost every minute a boy, young man or queer is victim to often violent rape. To queers outside the prison walls this may sound exciting, but to be a victim yourself is quite another story. The sexual abuse of "punks" and "queens" is part of the sexual power games of prisoners amongst each other who encourage the guards while this adds some color and excitement to their job. Funny enough this way authorities encourage behaviour which is punishable in half the US. Logic in matters sexual isn`t one of the strongest aspects of US authorities though.

Pederasty

Pederasty is Greek for the passion (eros) for a boy (pais). We also call it boy love, nepio- or pedophilia. In the age of sodomy, roughly between 1000 and 1800 A.D., it also was another word for sodomy mainly indicating anal sex between men. Greek principles is yet another expression for pederasty. Some issues ago Mattias Duyves discussed the wondeful and well-informed thesis of Charles Huppert "Eros Dikaios" in which there`s more about pederasty than most queers wanna know. The old Greeks knew what to do when it came to boys. They didn`t have any qualms about the innocence or future of the boys they had sex with. These boys weren`t that innocent and the sexual acts they were involved in were in no way traumatic. In modern psycho-babble these old Greeks would be child rapists.
It looks more like these psycho-babblers themselves are ruining a child`s happiness by barring its way to sexual pleasures. A funny word is pediophilia or doll sex. These days there are life-like dolls on the market you can share your bed with, including holes for sexual contact. Psychologists use comparable "anatomically correct" dolls to help children confess sexual abuse. We never hear whether these chilren are stimulated sexually by such dolls. According to these psychologists this is impossible because to them adults are offenders and children victims. Unfortunately the world is a bit more complex and some children are sexually active beings as we will see in the next issue about pedophilia. The opposite of grandism or the love of horsemen is petitism, the love of small genitalia. A size-queen prefers big, but the English language doesn`t have an expression for the lover of "petit". For grandists it must be strange the old Greeks depicted genitalia that small on their pottery. There are many possible reasons for this. The simplest one being the old Greeks simply preferred small cocks and were petitists. Maybe they figured "Rather a small upper than a big downer", or being true esthetes considered small more beautiful than big.

Picto, podo, poly

Pictophilia is the love of pictures and films. Maybe pornophilia would be a better word. We`ll come back to pornography shortly. Piss sex we alrady discussed under the g of golden shower. Podophilia is the love of feet. These days it`s more popular to love shoes (Nikes!) better than feet. Foot sex comes in many guises. Some people like to kiss feet or lick the dirt between toes, others want to be satisfied with the foot of their beloved on their dick or with their cock between his feet and some want to feel a foot with or without a boot on their neck. Feet have toes which you can put in all kinds of holes. The love of feet offers inexhaustible possibilities.
Polyiterophilia is a weird word with an interesting meaning. Some people climax only after a number of partners. The French writer André Gide knew this problem well. To him satisfaction meant half a dozen ejaculations in a row with two or three boys. He wasn`t interested in penetration or mutual masturbation; for him it was enough to put his hand on the boys` shoulders. He explained his orgasmic preference as follows. In his youth he`d been forbidden to masturbate. He dealt with this problem every time by getting a hard on without cumming. As a grown up he kept to this rhythm but didn`t stop himself from ejaculating anymore. A more familiar kind in darkrooms and saunas are the men cumming only after having satisfied a number of sex partners with their mouth or their ass. What is a better expression for this polygamist interest: polypartnersex, plurivirism?

Cute butts

Finally another three heavy ones. Psychrocism (psychros being Greek for cold or cool) is a sexual preference for cold or ice. Putting your dick on an ice cube, having sex while it`s freezing or in a snow storm. Braving the cold in scanty apparel or totally naked. Once I was walking through a snowstorm all dressed in satin and to my surprise it felt real good. I couldn`t figure out what was so erotic about it. I did not repeat the experiment and haven`t turned into an ice lover. In the sumptuous Bilderteil of Magnus Hirschfeld`s "Geschlechtskunde" (1930) are several sex dream pictures of cold fetishists, depicting people in scanty clothes in a chilling wind.
Pygophilia is the love of buttocks. Once I stuck a burning candle in the bum of a friend of mine. His gorgeous round buns glowed in even greater beauty. Jean-Luc Hennig wrote a "Brève historie des fesses" (1995), translated that same year as "The Rear View. A Brief and Elegant History of Bottoms Through the Ages". Only one chapter though is devoted to the male behind. The most well known but certainly not the most beautiful one is made of stone: the behind of Michelangelo`s David in Florence. For many a queer this is thé place for a buns love pilgrimage. Complete schools are gathering around David so the pygophilist can compare his marble behind with cute freshmen`s butts.
Change the g of the last perversion into an r and you`ve got pyrophilia, the reverse of psychrocism, the love of fire. At times it concerns pyromaniacs turned on by fires. Notorious example was the Roman emperor Nero who got all excited by Christians dying in the fire. Some people do it to themselves and get turned on by the singeing of their skin or hair. Branding is one step further. The natural kind is the love for the fire of passion - but no one of sound mind will call that pyrophilia.

Next time: pedophilia
