Guinness - Sexual Impotence

An incomplete figurative painted billboard advertising the stout beverage, Guinness, Port of Spain, Trinidad

For many men in Trinidad and Tobago, this is a remedy which the washed-out graffiti explains (Sexual Impotence) for those who may lack the sexual prowess. A couple of Guinness may do the trick to make your wood stand and to double-break in the process.

Mission not Impossible

From an overheard conversation: She belly high, dat sweet to fock

A wall painting entitled, Mission Impossible, Trinidad, West Indies

In a quaint part of Princess Town, Trinidad, West Indies, in one of the local bars called Obsession, a wall painting brings some humour to patrons who may be a bit intoxicated to even care. It is an airbrush painting of a couple who have sex on their mind but also have physical compilations to consummate the act. . The artist has illustrated a pregnant women pleading to her partner for some pleasurable coition. At the looks of it, he is competing with her by the tremendous amount of weight in fat folds which he carries over his belly. But don’t mind this, men generally find innovative means to overcome the predicament. Sooner or later she cyett getting lick up and he totee getting suck.

Cyett: Vagina
Totee: Penis

The Male Gaze

Dat man looking wicked..But ah strongar, ah better dan he

A number of years ago, the mas band of Ian McKensie featured a small section of women who wore pasties and thongs in the band. This caused a huge uproar about ‘naked mas.’ Also at that time, one of the local newspapers ran an image of a woman standing a few feet from a policeman wearing pasties and hot pants. The article accompanying the picture discussed the fact that the woman was not breaking any laws dressed as she was. There has been a running joke that prostitutes are having a hard time plying their trade when so many women look that way these days.

Carnival manages to play with the fine line of the sexual and the explicit, yet it is always done with a sense of fun. If lines are indeed crossed, these lines are not made to harm, at least not in the context of playing mas. Sexual harassment, unwanted attention, these things may occur outside the confines of the fantasy of ‘being’ in costume in the band. It can be argued.

In Art on the other hand, the line between nudity and the sensual has not been explored to any level of debate about the subject in Trinidad and Tobago. Somehow everyone who attempts to make sexual imagery has been somehow crippled by it. Apart from those who paint the parlor nude and that is still predominantly a female form.

I have always wondered about that double standard, and I polled a few men about the subject. There was much debate about the female gaze looking at the male as nude. The conversation was quite enlightening, as it went beyond the obvious statement that you hear all the time, the fact that men do not want to look at other men.

Here is what I discovered, men looking upon men make a man aware of himself and his shortcomings or difference. There is an inability to look away. A desire to move past all of that nakedness that stares you down. There is a feeling of anxiety to look upon another man, particularly if that man is beautiful in the classical Greek sense.The thought of homosexuality draws too close.

However there is also the opportunity to desire to look the way the male figure is portrayed. It can be something to attain in oneself. Looking upon complete nakedness is another matter. If the penis is neutral, the form is not a challenge, but an aroused man brings up a different set of thoughts. A sizing up occurs. One that is either dismissed or ridiculed, after all, it is a vulnerable moment and the man feels exposed by the image.

This was all very interesting. Men have been exposing women for centuries and women have allowed it. Yet male nudity is still so rare, unless you are a homosexual man, and even so, a lot of that nudity is something that you have to surf for.This begs another question, what is it about straight women and gay porn?

I conclude that the male form is extremely sexy, and so unusual that women go for gay porn because it is a lot of man to look at. I suppose that is also why men love lesbian porn. Somehow nakedness and sex never gets old. It attracts us because it is still private despite all of the opportunities that one can take to see it. - Adele

Pimp Juice - Trinidad Style

Ah bulling the lower one tonight


Which bull do you like best? A provocative poster at a popular bar, Smokey and Bunty in St. James, Trinidad.

If you are wondering what kind of Bull Trinidadian really men want, it has nothing to do with this tonic drink, but rather to the women crouched or standing in this poster. In Trinidad terms, Bull translated means, Fock which translates to Fuck.


Ah better drink some of dis “ Hard Wine” meh totee soft.

The woman in this poster is quite temping isn’t she? And she is also coy dressed in her Victoria Secret knock off, a white laced unmentionable with a black garter belt to match. What has her attention is the size of the bottle's girth or by the her man's gesture as he pats his flaccid totee. The poster is for Carreia, a locally made tonic wine with a concoction of fruits and extracts fortified with Bois Bande. The last ingredient is a popular Caribbean aphrodisiac.


The bark to be seeped with Rum

Bois Bande is the bark extract from the roupela montana proteaceatree like the one in the Botanical Gardens, Port of Spain which the bark has be been totally stripped by locals as far as they hands could reach.

Miss ¼ mile is no more

Dem yellow Poom-Poom shorts


A sign that once stood erect over a Racing Club, Trinidad, 2005

What ever became of this model? And what possessed her to pose so provocatively as a public billboard at one of the island's busiest junctions, the Priority Bus Route at Curepe, Trinidad, West Indies. Rumour has it that she was a local stripper, others believed she had died from AIDS. Regardless of her fate, this sign is no more. Miss ¼ mile once invited men to enter her through her ¼ mile wide-gapped Poom-Poom shorts.
