and they were roommates - Mander

Twas a healing massage which contained vitamin D
It’s totally normal that the masseur is not wearing pants. They always to this.
Pants weren’t even invented yet
Those were hard times
Hard times make hard men.
Hard men make sore buttholes

I believe it’s depicting a non-sexual massage

I also believe that the artist was being a cheeky little shit about it to amuse themself on the job lol

Like some of the guys that made those little goblins, that hang on churches, cathedrals and such? They loved to include their own goblins in nefarious poses. They are usually at a height, where you don’t recognize it looking as a peasant from the ground.
It always STARTS as a massage
It started off with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
and party every day
And, well maybe, just the tip.
Just because this guy has his junk pressed into the naked guy’s ass doesn’t mean gay stuff.
That’s what I keep telling my buddy but he still insists on saying no homo when I do that
Label it “woodcut of Muhammed” and start a terrorist incident lmao.

Thank you. Censorship is for the weak.

Is it censorship when you clean up the off-topic, emotionally charged comments that don’t belong in a given community? This is a science sub, why bring up religion on a completely unrelated topic? There’s a good chance it was a bot anyway, they’ve ramped up the divisive posts to maximum.

Are you censoring the wood shavings when you sweep the shop?

You’re responding to the account that wrote the original comment. Dismissing people’s opinions as “wood shavings” with some half-assed, pooh-poohing comparison feels anti-intellectual.
You brought up pooh. If I were to go on an anti-China rant now and it was deleted, I wouldn’t complain about censorship.

You could make that argument for the whole thread, though. It’s just that LGBT stuff is treated as always on topic across a lot of communities.

There were times where the atheism and LGBT subs on Reddit were practically indistinguishable.

If this were a meme about whatever liberal this or that you were talking about then that would be the case. This is a science meme about archeology and not being improper, so labeling things as something they may not be. Yes it does look like its a legitimate back massage in the image, just done in a very nontraditional way that makes it look like 2 dudes connecting on a deeper level, which is what the meme is referencing.
I’ve noticed mods on here are hair-trigger with the Islamophobia removals. Can’t we hate all organized religions equally?
Well, anti-muslim sentiment in the west unlike anti-christianity sentiments however somewhat akin to anti-jewish sentiments, has racist and social chauvinistic implications, so you know
Hey guys, is getting a massage gay??
You would think not, but when I stripped bare naked for a massage like this guy they yelled at me and told me it was against the rules

The guy who wrote that book was an Iranian Muslim living during a Muslim dynasty

I seriously doubt he was sneaking gay porn in his books my man

IDK, there’s a long history of homoeroticism in islamic art (largely poetry, here’s a write-up about that), it doesn’t seem entirely implausible that this could be some of that.
Welcome to Encyclopaedia Iranica

The Encyclopaedia Iranica is a comprehensive research tool dedicated to the study of Iranian civilization in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent

it doesn’t apply to this but i would like to refer you to “Shahed Bazi In Persian Literature” by Sirus Shamisa which covers “male on male” love in persian literature from late 9th century to early 20th century. TL;DR there’s a lot of and i mean a lot of gay stuff in persian and iranian literature in general to the point that the author says that most of the love interests in persian poems are actually male.

You’re not more well versed in my culture than me.

Shahed Bazi is HEAVILY CONDEMNED, and to this day it’s looked at with extreme disgust.

You assume they don’t have the same culture as you…
If they do, then they’d know this shit lmfao
If they do they’d know this

lmao dude chill i know but my grandpa’s generation were/are always high on opium and i don’t know anything more taboo here than drugs. it’s part of our history and literature that’s fine if you don’t like it but you can’t change it.

also that book got banned straight after it got published it’s very obscure even in iran where else do you think i can come from?

برادر من چرا اینجا راه افتادی کسشعر میگی؟ از هزار نسل قبل تا امروزه بچه بازی و شاهد بازی جزو کثافت ترین و رزل ترین چیزها محسوب شده توی تاریخ و فرهنگ ایران وحتی هیچگونه ربطی به گی بودن نداره و درواقع نوعی پدوفیلیا هستش ما لازم نیست بیایم رویزیونیسم فرهنگی راه بندازیم که جلوه بدیم آره مثلا فرهنگ گی توی ایران بوده آقا نبوده، اولین قدم برای پیشرفت قبول کاستی های نسل های قبله و شاهد بازی و بچه بازی هیچ گونه ربطی به گی بودن نداشته و نداره

بردار اقا بچه بازی شاهد بازی بده قبول بر دشمنش لعنت ولی اولا گفتم مربوط به این عکس نیست، ثانیا هرچی گی بوده روش اسم شاهد بازی میذاشتن کتاب راجب پدوفیلیا نیستش اصلا منظور بچه بازی نبود که، ثالثا فرهنگ ما فرق کرده ترک صوفی کجا ما کجا رویزیونیسم فرهنگی همین کصشر های ملی رضا شاهه که ما از زمان هخامنشیان یه چی بودیم اصلا برا خیلی از صوفیا عرفانی بوده این تجربه و از روی همجنسگرایی فلاسفه یونان بوده رابعا گفتم که مربوط به این عکس نیست فرهنگ قبلا فرق داشته

حالا من بیشتر منظورم این بود اینطور که گفته بودی مسلم و خاندان مسلمین حاکم بوده نمیتونسته باشه بگم نه اونقدرم چشم و دست پاک نبودن. حالا یه ادیت میزنم اشاره میکنم که هم شاهد بازی الان معنیش چیه هم اینکه بهتر میگم مربوط به این عکس نیست که برداشت بد نشه

پشمام اینجا جای کوچیکیه واقعا
اره عزیز واقعا سگ پر نمیزنه تنها ایرانی دیگه ای که دیدم حتی رو لمی نبود رو مستودون دیدم فدریت شده بود. بگذریم این لحظه اینترنتی هم گذشت الان اجنبی ها هم فکر میکنن اینا دارن چی میگن.
I don’t see how the snake could enter the cave like that.
Yeah all these woodcuts out here giving bottoms totally unrealistic expectations of the size and flexibility of the snakes out there smh
NSFW this please
I just opened this at work and my boss doesn’t seem upset but she has recommended me a couple of Japanese comics. Verdict:sfw
Depending on the comics she may be trying to hint at something
I don’t know much about them so your guess is as good as mine. “Thomas no Abe” and “Love Stage!!”
He’s just getting a massage tho?
omg they were rommates!
