    Re: Skin (was: Re: Once again, etc.) —John Neal
   (...) Hmmm. I'm thinking of clay Ashtarte fetishes that are 1,000s of years old which are basically a human form with gigantic breasts. Breasts have always been a symbol for sexuality and fertility that is cross-cultural, which leads me to conclude (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
