Where Has All The Horniness Gone?



From my earliest years growing up, I've heard the myth/rumor/urban legend that anti-Mormons claimed that Mormons had horns. Now, Mormons aren't exactly the first religion to have a claim on horny appendages to the forehead. Jews have long been accused of having horns, given their close proximity to Lucifer and his horned-headed hosts of demons. Satanists, too, have been accused of sprouting bovine brows. Michelangelo even sculpted Moses (pre-Charlton Heston) with horns. The reasons vary as to why Moses would have horns. The apologists say Michelangelo misinterpreted
Exodus 34:29-35 in which "rays of light" were translated into "horns". The Jews claim that Michelangelo was just catering to the whims of the day in portraying Moses, the uber-Jew, as horned. Or maybe it was an ironic commentary on the Ten Commandments.

Mormons in their bid to copy everything from other religions, especially the Jews, probably adopted the horned Jew myth as part of their new and improved persecution/Exodus mythology. Brigham was our Moses -- the American Moses, I recall reading in some history book in 4th Grade. We don't have locust, we have crickets. Pharoah is replaced by Governor Boggs and the Extermination Order. The Red Sea doesn't part, the Mississippi freezes over. It seemed very important that we copy everything, right down to Moses' horns. I'm surprised that Utah lake wasn't named Galilee and the Great Salt Lake as the Really Dead Sea. The river got named Jordan though.

Or I could be just completely wrong and the whole Mormon/Horns thing came out of the early days of polygamy when the Mormon's neighbors were saying how horny those Mormons were.


Now, Jews, Moses and Mormons aren't the only creatures to be bestowed with horns. The succubus, the female devil that takes human form, fucks human males to the point of exhaustion or death -- i.e. every guys fantasy. Being a demon, she is usually portrayed with horns sprouting out of her head. Now most guys won't admit this, but real women (sans horns) are pretty fucking scary when it comes to fucking. Women have this demonic power to keep coming and coming. They can go until we are limp and still be wanting action. Viagra sells, not because men don't think they can't get it up, but because they know when faced with female sexuality in all its force, they can't keep up.

I found this one picture below of a succubus at work. Not only does she appear to be fucking this guy until he shrivels, she's doing it while in the splits. (I have no idea about the creepy kid in the upper right corner.)

So what is the point of all this horniness? Well, first an apology because I let real life get in the way of my blogging -- damn bills, damn job. Second, I was thinking of my own appendage and what pleasure it brings when it is in its horned state. This cultural Mormon wants his mercurial horn to be in excellent working order. Third, I was thinking of all the potential double entendre with "horn." Feel free to add to them in the comments if you can think of more:

On the horns of a dilemma is how I feel when my horn is deciding whether to enter or not.
Moroni has that horn in his mouth, a clarion call to the other horn-suckers of Mormon-dom?
Horn-icopia of pleasure.
Toot my horn. Blow my horn. Toot my own horn (need to do more yoga, it looks like).
Take the bull by its horns.
Green horns (new missionaries, shortened to "greenies" in most Mormon vernacular.)
You can get to first base, second base, third base and home -- even when you strike out by taking the ball around the horn.

Oh, and why do cuckold's get horns? Indication that someone else has horned in on his territory, possibly? As a result of the cuckold/horn connection, the verb "to horn" means to get it on with someone else's spouse.
And then when those rams ram their horns together --
And finally --
I suppose we all know the reason all girls like unicorns -- the mythical, ever erect, solitary horn.

T- you had me smiling throughout the whole post, but you got me laughing with the unicorn thing. Gluby asked me what I was laughing about.

Great post, as always. I never really did realize that erotica could be so intellectually thought provoking. As well as provoking in other ways. :)

A thoroughly entrtaining look at horniness. I'll certainly be back to this blog.

ROTLF!!!

I would come up with an insightful response to this, but I'm too busy laughing!! :D

Not to horn in on your point, but horns are actually and originally (as you are probably aware) attributed to the Horned God of the old Celtic pagan religions. He was horned to show his fertility (horn o' plenty). When the Christians entered the scene, they bastardized him (among many things)and morphed him into the devil--Satan--complete with horns, cloved feet and a pitchfork (why does the devil have a pitchfork? Why not, like, a machete or something cool?)

Does that make you hooooorney? LOL

I'm having a little trouble connecting my car horn to your theme - unless it sounds like a screaming orgasm, or you press a button and it yelps. :-)

Why is the only thing I can think up to add is the name FOGHORN LEGHORN???

Great post, TW.

Forget the horn - where's Wanker? I need a good Wanker fix.

Gluby said...

I'm with Sid, where's T? I hope everything is going ok and that you'll be back soon!

JulieAnn said...

I happen to know, oh, fans of T., that he is doing well, but has been very busy. I miss him too, so let's all hang in there and hope he comes back to Bloggerland soon!

Lemon Blossom said...

I hope all is well. Miss your posts and hope to see you back soon!

Sister Mary Lisa said...

OK, TW. Enough. Hiatus is overrated. Come back! (I even used the word 'come', see?)

:) Hope all is well...

JulieAnn said...

Okay, T. Enough. Do I have to literally get on you to get you blogging again?

Just one of many said...

Talk about coitus interruptous!!
Cum back!! Hehe!

Lemon Blossom said...

Just wanted to stop by and harass you and say that I miss you as well!

Dude, you are one sick MOTHERFUCKER!! I can see how degenerate people become when the light of the gospel is abesnt from their lives.

MORMON EROTICA

The blog is devoted to exploring sexual issues arising out of American and Mormon culture. While the prurient may occasionally surface and while the tone may be sarcastic or sacreligious, the discussion is serious. I want to get deep.
