APRIL 10, 2000 - A DAY TO REMEMBER!
AFTER THREE CENTURIES OF ABSURD CENSORSHIP AND FORBIDDEN ACCESS TO ALL, THE "SECRET CABINET" OF ANCIENT "OBSCENE" ART OF NAPLES' "MUSEO ARCHEOLOGICO" IS GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
Hours: 9am-7:30pm every day. Closed on Tuesdays. Entrance: $6.00
For information call Italy: (011-390-81)544-1494

In 1738, during the first archaeological excavation in the area of Pompeii and Haercolanum (the famous Roman cities buried by the eruption of the Vesuvius in 79 CE) a huge number of explicit sex art of all kind (statues, paintings, frescoes, phallic objects, etc.) began to surface to the astonishment of the prudish historians and authorities of those times. No one had ever imagined that ancient Greeks and Romans-the forefathers of western civilization-were living literally surrounded by erotica of such explicit, carnal value! Immediately, by order of the King of Naples Charles of Bourbon, all objects and artifacts were taken in secret to a secret place little by little as they were unearthed. Consequently, they were hidden to everyone, walled into a cabinet and forgotten. In 1848 King Francis I found out about the forgotten "cabinet" and granted permits to see the obscene objects "only to mature people of recognized high morality."

During the conquest of Naples by Italian patriot, General Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1860, the Italian Red Shirts Leader named his friend and comrade of war Frenchman Alexandre Dumas (the author of the "Three Musketeers") the curator of the Archaeological Museum of Naples. Dumas discovered the secret cabinet and began classifying and cataloguing all the artifacts. Within a year Garibaldi ordered the "secret cabinet" to be open to the public under the name "Pornographic Collection." Then in 1929, when Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini betrayed the fascist revolution and made a deal (the infamous Concordate) with the Vatican, the Fascist Major of Naples (a famed womanizer) had to close the "secret cabinet" again in order to please conservative, sexophobic Christian-Catholic fanaticsow allied with the "Duce."

Incredible but true, until today, April 10, 2000, the marvelous erotic artifacts of our ancestors have been visible only for specific historical research motives, with a special permit of the Italian Department of the Arts, and only under personal supervision of a Department's official. In the 60s, since I would rather piss in the mouth of any so-called authority before asking a "permit" to visit what has been made by my (and your) ancestors, I corrupted a guard and I gained access to the "secret cabinet" with a temporary local girlfriend. As I became aroused pretty quickly by the wonderful explicit sex art openly visible under my eyes, and by imagining the great sex life of our predecessors inspired by the marvelous Gods and Goddesses of pre-Christian antiquity, I even had sex with my local girlfriend behind a column.

It is highly possible that, having Eros being officially recognized through a ceremony which was broadcast on the world-wide-web from the Dr. Susan Block Institute of Los Angeles during the last Eros Day, January 22nd, the great God of Love, Sex and Life has "inspired" the Italian Art Curators to open the "secret cabinet" despite the heavy religious pressure of the Vatican during this so-called Holy Year of the Church! Is this the beginning of the New Sex Revolution of the Years 2000s?

Well, let's touch "wood" and rub our testicles or clits, and hope for the best. Meanwhile, if you travel to Italy, do not miss this opportunity. What you're going to see will blow your minds! Long live the Sex Revolution!
