La 'sodomita secta' i el valencians, en la 'Crònica o dietari del capellà d’Alfons el Magnànim' (1400s)
València devia ser el centre d’una tela d’aranya homoeròtica, més o menys soterrada.

Identity is not a fixed origin to which we are attached by the harness of tradition,

Poetry.
Sex.
There’s a kind of sex that is less about power than about the unpredictability—and the flexibility—with which that power gets divided between and among the parties involved.

The humility of a leatherman is not bestowed but learned. It is acquired through an understanding of human limits:
