What does dogging sound like to you? What image comes to your mind with this word? Shall we dance reggaeton? Or shall we go out for a walk with your pet? Perhaps playing to be like a dog? Zoophilia? Fail. Dogging is referred to sex in public places. But what does that have to do with dogs?

Although, considering it from this point of view the term sounds very vulgar and an unattractive practice, one of the theories of its name is related to the usual association with canine copulate where they get the opportunity, without shame to be seen, without fear of disapproving glances of those humans as orthodox eyes that turn away offended. Another theory, the most accepted one, is that the term arose from the custom of British voyeurism from the 70′s on the pretext of taking the dog for a walk at night at public squares to spy on couples within their cars.

Dogging consists on having sexual encounters in public places, in a casual and anonymous way and also, under a previous agreement. It usually takes place in parks, squares, beaches, forests, highway rest areas, and any place that offers privacy. Generally these cases are often agreed upon in advance through internet, and are in constant geographical shift, to avoid clashes with the law.

This practice is extended worldwide and accepts voyeurism, exhibitionism, casual sex, swinging and even group sex, depending on preferences and opportunities; you can attend the date alone, in pairs or groups. Often there are more men than women, so that when women attend it alone, they are often highly sought after, although unfortunately for many, they are usually accompanied.

There are several codes that doggers use to communicate their intentions and permissiveness, and it is important for you to know if you are interested to get started in this practice. First one: to identify a Doggers’ car and avoid misunderstandings, look at the exterior lights of the car, if they turn on and off, here they are. When the car’s interior light is on, it means that the couple inside wants to be seen. If the window is open, you can approach and touch. And if the door is open, you’re invited to take part in the party. In general, these meetings are heterosexual, although the gay community also does it; it is what is called cruising.

Curiosity did not kill the dog, so there is no need to worry: You can go out at night in one of the apartments in Paris to “take your dog for a walk” and by chance, find sex in the streets of Paris … Wow!

In 1871 he who was along with Méliès, the “Grand Wizard Film” was born

Because of his great inventiveness in the art of animation, the Pathé Frères, which was the largest production company at the moment, hired him to compete with Melies. There he filmed what will be one of his greatest masterpieces, “The  Electric  Hotel.” A funny and crazy movie where objects move on their own and come to life.

Circa 1895, Chomón feels  the uncontrollable impulse to search new horizons and leave behind the place of his birth and growth … And where better to move than to Paris, which was at the moment, the “shangri-la” of all those seeking new adventures, of those who needed a change, who crave a revolution in their lives.

While fulfilling his military obligations, his wife began working coloring films for Méliès. Chomon will join the Melies company in October  of1899. This allows him to hone his photography skills and become familiar with the process of filming techniques, trick effects, color systems and lighting. He will also understand the  film industry and how it is gaining importance in the market. All this learning takes him back to Barcelona to open a business.

In 1901, already installed in Barcelona, ??together with Albert Marro and Luis Macaya, he will form the first Spanish film production company from which we have news of Macaya and Marro (Chomón is  in charge of photography and special effects, Macaya  chooses the  scripts and Marro develops the films).

In 1903 the Chomón workshop reputation reaches the highest levels of its popularity and begins to design signs with graphic motifs for the subtitles.  On the other hand, after a trip to Paris Marro, the producer becomes the representative of Pathé in the Peninsula and like the rest of the newly born film companies, they film documentaries and  comical films. (The handsome park, 1904, Tom Thumb, 1904, Gulliver in the land of the giants, 1905).

In 1906 Pathé opened a branch in Barcelona and removed, therefore, the commercial representation by Marro Macaya. The French production company, in turn, requires the services of Chomón in Paris for “phantasmagoria” (to film ghostly movies, special effects, optical magic and transformations) and so Chomon competes with the production of Méliès, the great cinema magician

The Pathé Frères, is at this point, the world’s largest and most important movie company and will be in these French studios where Chomón films some of his masterpieces.

The little blue book: a critical analysis and political society of the Smurfs has recently been published in France, written by French author Antoine Buéno. In the book, these little people created by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culiford, or Peyo are classified as archetypes of “a totalitarian utopia with Stalinists and Nazis nuances”.

The Smurfs are little blue creatures that live in their village in the forest, a hidden secret place that only a few friends know. The smurfs were over a hundred and lived in community, playing, having fun and working together to get smurfberries. But the happiness of the community always seemed disturbed by the intervention of the Evil Gargamel and Azrael his pet cat, trying to catch the Smurfs to make magic formulas or to cook them in order to get rich.

According to what the author states in his book, the animated series is full of stereotypes that play totalitarian, racist and anti-Semitic ideas, starting with Papa Smurf, who, according to Buéno, is presented as the overbearing, unique and patriarchal boss of the community and ending with the social corporatism reflected in the blue dwarf community, all dressed in white.

Buéno displays a thorough analysis of the characters. As for the dreaded Gargamel, he says that the size of his aquiline nose “recalls an anti-Semitic caricature “, while Smurfette matches the Aryan profile for her idealized beauty, blond hair and blue eyes. To this, we must add the fact that Gargamel’s cat is called Azrael (meaning Israel). And there’s an episode in which the community is invaded by a tribe of black smurfs, which, according to Buéno, feeds the theory of racism.

The author asserts that Peyo, the inventor of the characters “was not politicized”, adding “I think his work, like many others, conveys and concentrates a number of stereotypes of a society and a certain time”. The characters would be unconscious bearers of Stalinism, anti-Semitism, and totalitarianism that the Belgian man would have absorbed during his childhood under the Nazi occupation.

Antoine Buéno admits that such theories about Smurfs were previously heard and that his book is a compilation of arguments suspected by previous public. Even in the United States some people came to believe that The Smurfs were part of a covert Communist campaign.

Other theories have been developed around the little blue cartoons: the evil theory, for example, argues that the main Smurfs characters represent the capital sins (sloth: Sleepy Smurf, anger: Grumpy Smurf, greed, Greedy Smurf, lust, Smurfette, pride; Philosopher smurf, vanity, Vanity smurf) and Papa Smurf was wearing in red as the leader of all sins: the Devil. This theory is completed with the idea that Gargamel was not wicked, but a poor priest of the Dominican order who lived in a church and his cat Azrael (The people of God) was with the goal of eradicating the disease.

Laura Aurelia

After the death of Peyo in 1992, his son Thierry Culliford was in charge of the series, bringing production to a more pedagogical, politically correct fantasy. In addition, this year, the film The Smurfs will be launched, starring Katy Perry, Neil Patrick Harries and Jayma Mays. And what better than seeing it in Paris? where the book aroused its greatest excitement and all this discussion has taken place. Perhaps you run into Antoine very good at the premiere. Rent apartments in Paris and join in the discussion of the possessed Smurfs.

Lars von Trier is a Danish screenwriter and film director. He has revolutionised cinema with his harshly critical view of the world, evident in both his writing and his filming methods.

The Dogma 95 movement was created by von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. It promoted on-location filming and the use of hand-held 35mm cameras while forbidding the use of any sound other than that recorded with the visuals. Films may not employ ‘superficial’ actions such as murders or use special effects.

Some of von Trier’s most well-known and acclaimed films are The Element of Crime, Europa, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, The Idiots, The Kingdom, Dogville and Antichrist.

His latest film is called Melancholy. It was recently premiered at Cannes, where von Trier created controversy with some statements he made regarding his sympathies for Hitler and Nazism. He later apologised and explained that his comments were not meant to be taken seriously, but this was not enough to placate the festival organisers who declared him persona non grata.

Melancholy was inspired by the therapy sessions that von Trier had attended to treat his depression. Individuals with depression have been found to react more calmly than other people when put under pressure as they expect bad things to happen to them. Von Trier developed the story as a way of analysing how the human psyche deals with disaster.

The film introduces us to two sisters who are each finding their own way of confronting the impending end of the world. Justine (Kirsten Dunst) is in a panic about the situation while Clare (Charlotte Gainsbourg), serenely accepts what is going to happen. Dunst won the best actress prize at the Cannes closing ceremony.

The movie was filmed on location in Trollahätan, Sweden and the actors improvised their performances. Melancholy makes greater use of music than von Trier’s previous films. The main title theme is Tristan and Isolda by Wagner.

Melancholy has garnered mostly favourable reviews and Dunst’s performance has been classified as exceptional, however some critics have labelled the movie old fashioned and tedious.

Paris is a city capable of inspiring a kind of melancholy in those who visit. It is not a destructive melancholy, but rather a nostalgia for all that has happened in the history of this great city. Come and experience it for yourself by renting apartments in Paris

It is true that man’s whole body can respond to erotic stimuli, but our ultimate erogenous zones are the penis and the perineal area (located between the penis and anus), we definitely encourage to stimulate it for it  generates extreme pleasure. Making a man having an orgasm is by no means a complex issue, but there are certain things we can do to enjoy  better sex and reach a better climax.

Although it is a mistake, most of us love to penetrate immediately. It is a natural tendency, a binge of sex. but it is wrong (you have to give importance to foreplay) for women need more time to lubricate and reach a high degree of excitement the longer foreplay is

Anal sex, unnatural act, or sodomy, whatever name you want to call it, we certainly love it. For many men anal sex is very pleasurable because it causes more friction on the penis and therefore creates more intense orgasms. However, not everyone is  willing to practice anal sex and the main reason is because it causes pain. The problem is that most men do know not how practice it, we do not have the patience to stimulate the anus to dilate it enough, or even take time for penetrating calmly. Patience in anal sex is obligatory and when done correctly, can be very satisfactory for both parties

Oral sex is another of our favorites. Feeling her lips or see her licking our penis, is very stimulating for men. If she knows how to give good oral sex ,it  will give us moments of maximum pleasure. In addition, oral sex is ideal for men who have trouble maintaining an erection.

Eventhough if it doesnt beat anal sex or oral sex, being masturbated by your sex partner is another thing which we enjoy a lot . And if you dare to do it in a public place, the experience will be more intense due to danger factor that is added

Another thing that men enjoy although not all dare to try, is the G-spot stimulation, which is located in the prostate and only accessible through the anus. There is still much resistance to this practice, despite the encouraging news that this will produce the most intense pleasure a man can feel. Flee from your fears and enjoy this amazing form of sexual stimulation

In the realm of the senses, men love watching us, observing for example, a sensual dance, a striptease, see his girl remove her clothes slowly , have a mirror on the ceiling or on the sides to see us during the sexual act, that encourages them a lot. We also like to hear, but especially two things turn us on: her moaning and dirty talk that show the degree of excitment.

Until September 19th  the Pompidou Center  in Paris exhibits a view of contemporary Indian society through the exhibition Paris-Delhi-Bombay, where fifty Indian and French artists have designed and created art works for the exhibition.

The exhibition, curated by Sophie Duplaix and Bousteau presents a dialogue between diverse artists to discover the political, social, sexual and daily changes that exist in modern India. In the process of this  project art historians and curators, sociologists and anthropologists of India have collaborated  to give a complete conceptual look at the performing arts. So, that through the art works it becomes fascinating discovering  a whole range of changes in a society that today is still  considered conservative, but keeps amazing surprises inside.

Modern India has been  forged by  the union of different cultures, customs, traditions and religions brought by the Islamic, Persian, Arabic, Turkish invasions and British colonialism, which has led the society to be tolerant with multicultural diversity

However, there is still a caste society and discrimination against women, which is affecting the patterns of birth, because many women choose having an abortion before having a child that will be  doomed  to poverty, for social prestige the family is only true if the newborn is male. This has meant that woman have no value, not even before the law system, increasing therefore women murders

A product of this injustice is a political activism movement focused on combating discrimination against women. Thanks to this movement interesting books on research have been written  and has  involved  artists, writers and professionals to fight at the Parliament to not eliminate the 15% of reserved seats in education for lower castes which are in its majority formed by women

However, many women now triumph in film, science, computer science and architecture, to the point that companies are valued by headhunters to link Indian women to large corporations, for they are the world’s top professionals.

Many other aspects of these contradictions are exposed in the works on display. To add more content, the museum offers visitors a guide to contemporary Indian society, which includes data, history and introduction to a more thorough test, where there are photographs, audiovisual documents and files. Then there is the catalog that brings an interesting perspective on the modernity and globalization written by art historians.

The exhibition which started a project to watch the flow of transmission of culture in a globalizing world, opened a huge window to watch how this process is transforming the lives and expectations of the people of India

Since 1926, located in Grasse, the company not only produces just liquid scents, but all that has to do with scent, like perfumes, soaps, creams or room scents that are usually wrapped in good looking, very colorful packaging. The Fragonard, with elaborately staged stores and factories and a museum, reconstructs a historical backdrop in the history of perfumery. And the visitor can stroll between cases with old perfume bottles, historical advertising signs, furniture and costumes of the time.

The house in which the Fragonard Perfume Museum is located, was built in the 17th Century  outside the city walls, because the growing population of the city, brought with it less and less space for residents and the unhealthy urban air. This museum was set up in a mansion, which was built in 1860 in the style of Napoleon III. The architect was a student from Charles Garnier, the architect of the Opéra Garnier, which is directly across the street and whose construction began in 1861.

The wealthy and educated businessman Alexandre Maubert bought this house in the 18th Century and used the space to exhibit the paintings of his cousin Jean-Honore Fragonard. In addition to the drawings and original paintings by the artist, one finds an amazing perspective painted backdrop by Alexandre-Evariste Fragonard, nephew and godson Fragonard, which he has created in the age of 13 and is located in the stairwell.

Elegant rooms with 5,000 years of history of perfume could be discovered here. This museum has a rich collection of the wonderful bottles from many eras and historical equipment for the manufacture of perfume to the beginning of the 20th Century. You can traces here the history and evolution of the fragrances and perfumes that are most varied over the centuries in the form of products like colognes and perfumes, essential care and cosmetics, soaps and candles. This museum still has an extension, only a few steps further, housed in a former theater where  historical development of perfumery like older copper stills are shown.

In this museum you can learn about the art of fragrances and their preparation. And visiting the museum is not enough, you can even buy exotic perfumes from the Fragonard Perfume Factory located on the ground floor. The rare Fragonard fragrances like “Juste un Baiser” (“just a kiss”), “Honeymoon” or “Island of Love” being sold at factory prices.

Everybody includes a bottle of perfume as a piece of memory in the baggage which means an extended vacation at home.

The Chinese literature has plenty of rare books. One of the most special books appeared in Beijing in 1922 under the title The story of the mad knight. Signed by writter and scholar of the Confucian classics Lin Shu, it was the first Chinese translation of the famous book by Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote de la Mancha, which sought legitimacy doubly contrasted to the conditions of Spanish literature at the beginning of the modern novel in the West. It turns out that the text of Lin Shu immediately became one of the major events in the history of literary translation in China.

It wasn’t the first translation of a classic of European literature by Lin Shu, who was a great literature innovator and the responsible for stopping the neglecting judgment as minor trivial and insignificant literary genre that novels were having in China. Indeed, Lin Shu was also the author, among others, of the Chinese versions of David Copperfield (the famous English sinologist and member of the Bloomsbury circle of Arthur Waley, who was responsible for the best pages of Dickens written in Chinese by Lin Shu), Robinson Crusoe Defoe, Gulliver’s Travels, Montesquieu’s Persian Letters or Study in Scarlet by Conan Doyle.

All the above, perhaps could help us to understand better the meaning of the word author and the scope of Waley’s words, by paying due attention to the working method of Lin Shu, e.g. in his translation of Don Quixote, even though he never learnt any foreign language.

Chen Jialin, his assistant, every afternoon came to Shu´s house and told him one of the episodes of the book. Once gone, Shu Lin sat to write his own version of the book. The Argentinean writer Ricardo Piglia suggested that a translation of this text would make it difficult to appreciate the beauty of Shu Lin´s idea.

As unique working method began with the Lady of the Camellias, book that he bounced back to life. For a long time after the death of his wife, Lin Shu fell into the deepest depression. That terrible and desperate state of disrepair only became better when his friend Shouchang Wang arrived from France and told him about the novel by Dumas. The story fascinated him so much that he asked Shouchang to tell him the whole story. After that Lin felt the need to translate it into Chinese.

This is how the story of Alexandre Dumas, son of Marguerite Gautier, not only saved the life of Lin Shu, but also in an indirect way radically changed forever the history of the Chinese literature.

After 10 years of struggle, the xxx web domain has finally been created as a place to host pornography on the internet. The Internet Corporation for Assigning Names and Numbers (ICANN) gave permission after a long period of debate. Much of the discussion was regarding the type of applications that will be featured, and it was concluded that if pornography in the real world was restricted to a red light district, then it should also be so in the World Wide Web.

According to supporters of the xxx domain, by creating an alternative to dot com addresses, inappropriate and irregular content can be filtered and underage internet users can be better protected. However, other pornography fans complain that this will be detrimental to pornography, reducing the quantity and variety available online. There are also fears that freedom of expression will be affected as internet providers, or even governments, will be able to block entry to sites with this address.

On the other hand, religious groups and conservative groups also took part in the discussion, saying that to give pornography its own domain was to legitimise immoral behaviour. Permission for the domain to go ahead was initially given in 2005, but was soon revoked after protests. The ICANN have stated that debate on this subject “has generated more controversy than any other in the history of the company”.

The function of ICANN is to regulate the address system so that they comply with the rules and needs of a defined community. But it is not within their remit to check or monitor content. The International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR) will establish the conditions for companies wishing to register their xxx domain.

The internet registry company, ICM has claimed that over 300 thousand xxx addresses have already been reserved. The xxx domain, sponsored by ICM will become operational during 2011.

On July 14, 1789, the people of Paris, tired of the absolutist power of the French monarchy and its injustices, took up arms and took the ancient royal fortress known as the Bastille, which had become the prison of victims of the arbitrariness of the King. After bloody clashes, the mob stormed the Bastille and released the prisoners held there, an event of historical importance to what would be the French Revolution. Thanks to the storming of the Bastille, the French people realized that power was not really in the hands of the king, and that the people, if remained united, were able to take power for themselves.

On the morning of the public holiday, several celebrations are held on the famous Avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris. One of the highlights is the impressive military parade with the cadets from military schools, La Royale (French Navy), the Legion Etrangere elite (the French Foreign Legion) and the Armée de l’Air (French Air Force) in an organized march full of color and patriotism. The French president makes ??the opening of the show with an impassioned speech to the troops and thousands of attendees at the celebration, which ends with the parade of the Paris Fire Brigade, while military aircrafts fly the route of the celebration.

While some prefer to be part of the military parade, others prefer to enjoy the musical and theatrical performances and gastronomic exhibitions present in the city and which highlight the vast cultural wealth of France.

Of course, the party continues all day and when night falls, thousands of people gather in the Champ-de-Mars and Trocadero to witness the spectacle of fireworks from the Eiffel Tower. Besides this, the bars and nightclubs in the city offer attractive proposals to continue the party.

The tricolor French national flag and the Eiffel Tower are the most important symbols of this celebration. French national flag has three vertical bands of equal width in blue, white and red, colors that flood the city in many ways on the Bastille Day. Eiffel Tower on the other hand, is the most characteristic icon of the country and is especially important as it is the world’s most visited monument, which is particularly evident on this day.

Apart from France, countries like Belgium, Hungary, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the US also celebrate the Bastille Day.

So you know! You have a rendezvous in Paris to celebrate the triumph of the united people who fought for their dream to be free!

Hans

Let Paris delight you with the pleasures that only the French capital has to offer, rent apartments in Paris and be sure you celebrate freedom!
