White Dead Man's Guide to Sex

screwing Eve - never done that"
Which is just as well.
In any case, I point to this 'dead white man' burden (the dead white man's
burden) of seeing
love as *screwing*.
From all the paintings -- some of them Renaissance -- I've seen, it
seems that it's Eve *screwing* (as you say) Adam.
She has the lustige (as the Germans say) look in her eyes. She has
erect nipples and is holding the apple, and trying to provoke
Adam into some kind of degustation experiment.
She is totally naked, and with a hole in the middle that seems to
fit with the appendix that Adam has so far never used.
The serpent was possibly either gay or bisexual.
So who screw who?
Cheers,
JL
