It’s not uncommon to hear the extraordinary building of the Jewish Museum in Berlin (http://www.jmberlin.de/), the handiwork of Daniel Libeskind, described as being shaped like a beam of light – one of huge proportions, as it is after all, the biggest museum in Europe. The museum honours the aftermath of the devastating, barely comprehensible murder of six million Jews, and the ensuing profound identity crisis suffered by the human race, and loss of faith, as captured by Adorno’s comment that it was impossible to write poetry in the wake of what happened at the concentration camps.

This is why the building of the museum can be easily perceived as a representation of a wound; an enormous, complex scar which is still healing, and which still to this day, needs care and attention. And it’s not just the floor which houses the museum which gives this impression, but the entire construction (whose facade consists of various differing, irregular windows, like a continuous and abstract rip or tear) appears full of cuts and incisions – and also a light, which simultaneously cuts, wounds and cauterises. Like an inner light which is able to remedy us, and take us away from some of the horror of Nazism, and all that it represents.

Opened in 2001, the building, in any case, is one of the most famous in contemporary architecture; a place which received visitors even when it was empty, many years before it officially opened its doors to the public. Along with the sense of wounds, it’s rooms also carry an immediate feeling of the pain of loss, particularly powerful in those spaces of the building which remain empty. The asymmetrical, disorientating rooms connect via ramps, in an effort to avoid any kind of linear appearance.

Specially dedicated to the story of the German Jews of the past 2000 years, the museum opened so that the city of Berlin could once again have its own museum of Hebrew culture after over 60 years – since the moment when this kind of museum started to be closed down by the Gestapo.

Not all of the museum follows the powerfully modern style of Libeskind, however. In an interesting contrast, it connects up to an antique, baroque building built by Philipp Gerlach in 1735, which after the Second World War, was turned into the Museum of Berlin, where much of the city’s Jewish collection was held and shown.

The Jewish Museum is formed of three core sections; The Exile (which goes up to the “Garden of Exile,” also called the Garden of E.T:A. Hoffman), The Holocaust (at the end of which is erected, behind a metal door, the dark tower of the Holocaust), and the section of “Continuity” which gives access to the permanent collection.

Before even entering the internal patio of the Natural History Museum in Berlin, http://www.naturkundemuseum-berlin.de/, which seems clothed in glass like many other museums of its kind, we feel a mysterious and exciting sense of anticipation, perhaps similar to that felt by an already blind Borges, in the face of the Victoria de Samotracia without needing to physically see it. This strange, anticipatory feeling prepares us for the startling vision of the complete skeleton of a Brachiosaurus – which, with its 3-metre height, gives us the impression that any minute it will smash through the glass ceiling, and enter into the vast world of the history of humanity.

After all, dinosaurs ruled the land for millions of years, disappearing suddenly and mysteriously over a period of 60 years, all be it due to an ecological catastrophe, the result of the earth’s collision with an asteroid or some other kind phenomenon from the cosmos – or perhaps it was just a great mass suicide brought on by the boredom and monotony of the slow passing of time.

Whatever it was, we can’t help but feel that their disappearance, the remains of which can seen in all the preserved fossils in museums all round the world, puts us in danger somehow. It forces us to think, or perhaps remember, how we, just like they did, will someday disappear forever – and the main purpose of any museum is to offer us a kind of refuge from this terrifying notion.

We are therefore constantly in search of something which is constantly slipping through our fingers – the sensation of concentrated, pure time, in its true essence. Seeing dinosaurs is like seeing false memories from early life; the hundreds, if not thousands of mutations which took place before our species was finally developed; it is an almost mystic sense of how art can save us from the world. This is perhaps where Natural History museums link with the early art collections, both sharing an intense desire to transcend the eternity of imminence.

If such a feeling needed its temple, few would be more appropriate than this Berlin museum. More than 6km squared, its oldest piece is a 4600 million year old meteorite, which succeeds in the mission of hooking us in, like a religion – indeed one of the meanings of the word religion is the ineffability of the cosmos.

More than 200 years old, which is next to nothing in cosmic history, this is a remarkable institution which houses one of the most important Natural History collections in the world. Perhaps you’ll see for yourself when you rent apartments in Berlin

That girl you have wished for so long, the one you could not stop looking at every time she passed along, who starred in your wet dreams, and who refused you many times, mysteriously coincides with you in that party you attended without much enthusiasm, and, to your surprise, she is now much nicer and friendly, she laughs at your bad jokes, she asks you to get her to dance, to which you accept, pretending you don’t care much. After many drinks, laughs and shameless approaches, what you never thought that would happen, just happens.

She proposes you a furtive sexual encounter in some of the rooms. In your mind there is the thought that you are being used, but you don’t mind, your desire is so huge, you leave behind any attempt of false pride. You quietly take her to a room, lock the door, and finally, you are alone with her. You are about to unleash the passion, to make true that repressed fantasy when she suddenly stops you and asks you – Do you have condoms? Stupid! –you think- obviously, you did not come prepared. For a few seconds you analyze your situation. You look askance at the place with the illusory hope of finding condoms hidden in furniture. Impossible. You think of the possibility to go get one among those attending the party, or to run to the nearest pharmacy, but her failing eyes tell you that when you return, you will not find her there, and you will lose this opportunity forever. She looks at you impatiently waiting for your reply. What to do?

There are many reasons to dread sex, some are valid and others not so much in my opinion, but is losing that part of our life worth being there so many variables in human sexuality? I mean, not only the sexual act, but also the way we relate emotionally to another.

Petting is a term that serves to designate any kind of sex where there is no intercourse, ranging from pampering and cuddling to sex without penetration, you understand oral sex, masturbation, or any other form of sexual contact which does not involve the introduction of the male member in genital organs recipients. This word comes from the verb to pet, that refers to the fact of caressing and kissing, originally used to refer to pets, but later became popular as a term designated for foreplay sexual, erotic and / or emotional contact.

We all have surely practiced petting at some time. It is common in adolescence, when we begin to have relations, but it is also used by the ones who want to reach the marriage as “virgin”, or those who want to go healthy into the promiscuity without getting an infection or pregnant; it also works for couples who do not dare to take the next step, or perhaps only as foreplay before intercourse. There are also meetings of various petting participants, a kind of “light” orgy with minimal risk.

ArBlanco

The petting is a choice for safe sex, where it is not necessary to use condoms or any kind of protection, provided we make sure that there is no exchange of genital fluids. Then there is no need to worry. Relax, have fun, rent apartments in Berlin the European city of sex where you have many options for petting.

Female ejaculation is the expulsion of a fluid also known as cum that is expelled in some women through the urethra simultaneously with the orgasm.

There are 2 types of vaginal fluids that can be released by a sexual stimulus. The most common in our culture is vaginal ejaculate, which lubricates the vaginal walls and oozes out during sexual arousal. This type is usually milky in color and denser than the urethral one and is much less common.

It seems that this is not because women are not able to achieve it  physiologically speaking, but due to a lack of understanding and knowledge of sexuality of women in this culture. Its origin seems to happen in the paraurethral glands or Skene. They are located in the posterior wall of the vagina around the external orifice of the urethra near the ceiling (where the so-called Gräfenberg point or G point is located). In some cases, the fluid emitted from the urethra is ejaculate, while in others it is a mixture of ejaculation and a bit of urine. This fluid contains high amounts of glucose and alkaline substances common to the sperm, hence the Skene’s glands are known as the female prostate.

Most women produce the alkaline fluid in small quantities. What might imply that all women could excrete this fluid and experience female ejaculation at some level. In some cases, it is filtered instead of being expelled. But in others, this fluid gushes out (especially during a climax).

Women capable of this could shoot enough liquid to fill between 1.5 and 2 cups of liquid when they ejaculate.

Several factors can vary the type of fluid, the menstrual cycle, the diet and fluid intake.

How many times can a woman ejaculate? their ability is like that of men, and depends on age, physical condition and inhibitions among other factors. Some women report that they need to rest hours until they can repeat the process, in extreme cases it has have been done 15 times in a period of 8 hours! Of course, if this is your case, do not forget to hydrate by drinking water.

Controversy exists over whether this fluid is released only from the Skene’s glands, or the urethra. What is clear is that there is urine.

The key to achieve this is to empty the entire urethra, ie have urinated before sexual stimulation. When the G spot is stimulated it causes a strong feeling of needing to urinate. This typically lasts a few seconds until the feeling becomes more of a sexual pleasure-. Clitoral stimulation also helps. If a woman feels she has to urinate by using her vaginal muscles (which is a natural reflex), ignoring the fear of urination, it is likely that female ejaculation takes place. Of course we must succeed in eliminating all inhibitions and fears.

Ara

Female ejaculation can give women not only an incomparable sense of liberation, but the intensity of the orgasm combined with female ejaculation is one of the most beautiful pleasures a woman can feel! Rent apartments in Berlin and enjoy your sex life in one of the most open cities in Europe

From July 7th to the  9th of October the Berlin Museum exhibits Bröhan Female Goldsmiths in the Bauhaus era. The show rescues the work done by women who dared to engage in an activity aimed for men and innovated design concepts of  decorative jewelry, transforming it into an expression of art.

The exhibition showcases more than 150 objects in gold and silver, which are from private collections, museums and some are property of the Bröhan  Museum,all  created by women between the twenties and the thirties of the last century, they have a clear imprint of the Bauhaus School design. The exhibition includes works from prestigious artists  such as  Paula Straus and Emmy Paula Roth, there are also the works of 13 women who have transcended to a lesser degree in this discipline.

Paula Straus was born in 1894, worked in a factory designing silver objects, which were highly appreciated by the modern concept that she developed in a deeply conservative society. Her works incorporate methodologies that allowed mass production, so she is considered the mother of modern jewelry. Over 100 designs, all kinds of household objects and furnishings, are part of her  legacy.

Straus was arrested by the Nazis because of his Jewishness and taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942, dying in horrible conditions a year later.

Emmy Roth was born in 1885. Her designs are  considered  masterpieces due to the simplicity of its lines and clean details. She came to Berlin in 1925 and exhibited her works, modern coffee sets, tables and chandeliers. In 1933 he had to flee to France, due to the Nazi Jew  persecution. She then followed a long migration that eventually  led her to Israel where she ended her days
Goldsmith has been described as essentially a minor art or craft. Only on very special occasions and when there is  additional capital involved, such as the passage of time, it becomes an expression of a higher  art discipline. However, Bauhaus does integrate  goldsmith  in the category of the fine arts,

The idea of ​​the Bauhaus was to fuse art and life, where art was born as a further act of man’s relationship with the environment and its development in a society that had resolved the contradictions of class.

There are important  things that mark your life. For better or for worse things are never the same.  Fortunately  things worked out right in my case, I read in a newspaper about pompoarism and told my girlfriend. It  awoke herdesire to practice the technique and now our sex life is much richer.

What is it really about? Well, pompoarism is a technique developed by women in Thailand  to give more pleasure to their lovers. We do not know when it  started to develop, but once women controlled this technique  it was transmitted from mother to daughter, generation after generation. This technique is very effective.

Pormpoarism is the controlling  of the pubococcygeus muscle, which allows women’s vagina contract and relax at any time, giving the penis an extra stimulation to accelerate or delay the orgasm. To put it much simpler: it’s like getting a massage while penetration occurs. Some compare it with anal sex where the penis feels more friction.

But do not think that pompoarism is only there to please men. No, women  also enjoy it, for  they experience more pleasure when they receive a  more intense penis friction during intercourse by contracting the muscles of her vagina.

There are three exercises that help women master this technique

The first is done sitting on a chair. You should have your hands leaning on your thighs,  Your back should be straight, leaning forward  slightly , with your feet separated about 20 centimeters. Then you should contract the muscles of you vagina as if you was pressing  something and count to five before relaxing. 10 minutes of this exercise will suffice.

The second exercise is performed standing up  with your arms relaxed at your side. You should contract the muscles of the vagina and anus and count to  5 and then relax again. You must increase the intensity as more repetitions occur

The third exercise is performed lying on yourbed and contracting  the muscles of the annus 5 times increasing the intensity gradually. Then contract the muscles of the vagina five times. About 10 minutes of these contractions is sufficient.

Although the technique has been developed by women, there are also men who practice contracting the sphincter and the perineum during intercourse, as this helps to improve the control of erection and ejaculation, although the movements are less noticeable for women.

A great technique, no doubt, pompoarism may be the way to a more intense sexual life.

Miruton

If you are looking for an extra drop of sexual spice with your partner, a journey of pleasure and the practice of pompoarism may be the right formula. Get apartments in Berlin the city of sexual tolerance

KW69, the “free” and experimental space at the Kunstwerke of Berlin, offers a very special curatorial method for the creation of their exhibits. Contrary to usual practice, each participating artist invites the next one  to a brief exposition with a maximum duration of a month. This method allows  a continuous flow that leaves room for new talents.

The next exhibit will be a individual one by the German artist Corinne Wasmuth, a painter whose work is primarily a visual task force using violent colors and layers of varnish that create the illusion that the paintings are backlit. In her paintings, Corinne uses images from everyday life, but converts them, creating stories through color.

In fact, her work has a particular visual power thanks to the philosophy of the artist, who sees color as a life mark that accompanies living beings. “When a living being dies,” said Corinne in an interview, ” colors dilute, they go. The plants turn brown, and when a man dies, his body becomes pale, waxy. The body is the outer part, colorless, that is left in the material world. For me, color represents the other part of life. “

One of her best known works is “astronauts” representing the view from inside a cave. The work shows crystals growing from the walls of this “tunnel” in which astronauts are captured like insects in amber. The metaphor of the cave is a clear reference to Plato’s myth and the creation of a fictional world outside the private and independent one , where humans, being at the same time ethereal spirits (in this case astronauts) are imprisoned and confined.

For the artist it is as if the color of our bodies were illuminated from within, therefore trying to “give life” to her canvases through the use of color and many layers of varnish to achieve a striking effect on the viewer. Color attracts us. Corinne also claims that the reason why screens have the amazing ability to capture our attention is due to  that color seems to be alive without a physical body for support.

Wasmuht Corinne, born in 1964 in Dortmunt, Germany, lives and works in Berlin. She has had expositions in many contemporary art centers in the world, and this year her work has been exhibited at the Meyer Riegger Galerie of Berlin the Kunstraum of Innsbruck and the Oberrheinischer Kunstpreis Offenburg.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Berlin is a world reference regarding the most avant-garde artistic production. It is cosmopolitan, dynamic and creative. However, many of the artists who decide to set up their studio and residence in the city tend to exhibit their works in other places.

It is because of this fact that the determination to organize Based in Berlin is born, an event whose main purpose is to make visible and accessible to the current Berlin production to a broader audience. Originating from 26 countries, the eighty artists selected are the result of working like ants from November 2010 by the five sample curators: Angelique Campensis, Fredi Fischli, Magdalena Magiera, Jakob Schillinger and Scott Cameron Weaver.

The public is also invited to the event. On the wall of the Facebook group Based in Berlin, daily announcements are published like “young boy /girl wanted androgynous profile to remain lying for an installation at 2h30 (…)”. If you are minimum 1.80 tall, can play piano, are between 25 and 35 and are free during the six weeks of the event, you can assemble a performance in Berlin. And it will be compensated.

The main place of the exhibition Based in Berlin will be a workshop in the Monbijoupark, in the Mitte district. In addition to the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, National Gallery, Hamburger Bahnhof, the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (NBK) and the Berlinische Galerie museum. The entrance to each of these sites is free, except if you want to join a walk which runs the five exhibition spaces.

Also remember that you can have a meeting with the artists every Saturday or Sunday. And that workshops for children are organized. Moreover, a bicycle store enables anyone who wants to get one and go riding from one place to another. If your legs need a break, the Monbijou bar opens its doors until midnight, when all the sample rooms turn off their lights.

After the earthquake, the tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Ikemura Leiko the Japanese artist, painter and sculptor is  wondering what is the role of art at this time and what is the eventual multifaceted  potential to face the crisis we are experiencing. Can art be a means of reflection? How can we address contemporary issues from art? To all these questions, Leiko attempts to answer inviting a group of artists to discuss the issues in a series of lectures, talks and exhibitions to be held until July 17th, 2011 in the area of exhibition of KW69, at the Kunstwerke Berlin Contemporary Art Institute.

The KW69, building situated in front of the KW – Institute of Contemporary Art, offers a space for ongoing dialogue between artists, a sort of experimental center where, for a year, it  is hosting a large number of artistic projects of different nature, but all in rapid succession. The guest artist invited will invite the next one, thus creating an interesting exchange of roles, a network that will – presumably – extend up to artists still unknown to the “major league” of art. In this dynamic procession, unusual for a museum, Ikemura Leiko proposal is inserted, which until July 17th  invites artists and architects to discuss the recent disaster in Japan, with the aim of reflecting on the troubled relationship that links nature, progress, economic and human beings.

Ikemura Leiko was born in 1951 in Tsu (Japan) and she  studied Spanish literature and painting in Japan and in Seville, at the  Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungaria in Spain.  Since 1990 she lives and works in Cologne and Berlin, where she teaches painting at the Art University. Her first solo show took place in Sweden (Luzern) at the Galerie Regenbogen in 1979 and since then the artist has had a worldwide success  and her works have been exhibited in major centers of contemporary art from around the world.

Under the pragmatic title “Fukushima and consequences”, the exhibition will display works that reflect the current situation in  Fukushima in northern Japan, discussing about the cycles of creation and destruction of the planet and human involvement belonging to the destruction of these cycles of creation.

Among the artists participating are: Curtis Anderson, Katharina Grosse, Jun Kaneko, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama, Yoko Ono, Yutaka Takanashi, Shomei Tomatsu, Rosemarie Trockel and Wim Wenders.

Fukushima and consequences “provides a series of interdisciplinary discussions with architects about rebuilding, emergency accommodation, the efficiency of energy production and the enormous problem of nuclear security”
