Sex and death

I've never been able to get the connection between sex and death. I once met an academic at a conference who was heavily into it, but in a visceral rather than a cerebral way, so it seemed. That there's a whole psychopathology here is not in doubt. It's passed me by, leaving me feeling emotionally gormless. Ah, well.

What about you? Test your lower nature, as time goes by, on the Jans in these two calendars, the first from Italian coffin maker Cofanifunebri (dig the groovy little sneaking skeleton), the second from Polish coffin maker Lindner (don't miss the fab vid on the home page).

Mmmm. Seems to me that death and sex DON'T go together.

Are these calendars on display in the funeral homes' chapels of rest, or what? Who are they for? Not the buying public, presumably. So who does get off on them? Not me.

It takes little more than an amateur psychologist to invent a connection between assertive procreation and devastating death, but it hardly sticks. This isn't procreation. It hardly merits the name of sex. It's male lust, that's all.
