These pictures are not in iranian style

by Mehdi (not verified) on

I've been dealing with traditional sources and when I compare the pictures with them, It is clear to me that the pictures have made in the new era.
There was sex in our tradition (like Resaleye Delgosha) but not in this modern style.

All comments about Haji agha

by Khanum Hana 77 (not verified) on

All comments about Haji agha anywhere and anytime make me laugh. Please keep him misreble and don't help him. BTW, i guarantee it's all fake. Too bad I am hot and not a boo gandoo hezbolahi or else, i would fadakari and let him have me for 15 minutes. Poor guy sounds awfully lonely.
MASH YOU ARE SOOOO FUNNY
MAJID like i said in another post somewhere else, I think I am in love with you.
Jigsaw orgie were quite common back in the day. More in Greece, India, Egypt and the Roman empire than in Iran...It can't be too hard to find that painting you are looking for.

Hajiagha.....

by Kaveh Nouraee on

Aghaye olaagh,

 

Anywhere you go, all of the women are lesbians. After meeting you they have the urge to get crewcuts, stop wearing makeup, they'll stop shaving their legs, underarms and bikini line, and start wearing Timberland hiking boots, and flannel shirts. Then they will all start riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles and become professional arm wrestlers.

 

And if you were gay, (and some here think you might already be), every gay guy you meet will end up going straight. They will destroy all of their Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand albums, and drink beer from a can.  Cher and Madonna are going to have to find day jobs.

Our tradition

by fariborsm on

1.Soraya, too good for that man or not good enough. So she had to go.

2.To paint pornos had never been an iranian tradition. the farsi language is so reach that we have never needed such picturese . In farsi text can the men of letters write soo pleasurful pros. Saadi, hafiz, ferdousi and hundered others . These men hav set our tradition. I think even so we live in diaspora, we should try to aklimate ourselves only as much as we need it to be abl to live hier. the pros i meant, you can give it even to Schoolchilderen. It is not damagin their minds. because evry body understands , let us say hafez, only in the limits he7she allready knows. these pictures are not our tradition. They are also not a western tradition. The function of these is to influenz the mind of peaple and fulfill an psychological terror an them and confiscate their sexuality and to take posession of them. so is the human beeing already concuered and defeeted. may be sotimes in futur i will have time and patience to continue. take these word an an uncomplet synphony, thank you, fariborsm@web.de

Anything that irks Hajiagha is good

by John on

Sorry to break it to you Hajiagha, but as a Canadian I can reliably inform you that you are the only person in the entire country who isn't getting any.  What can you be doing wrong?  Bad breath, body odor, boring personality, inanity?  Keep trying dude.  By the way, why is it that the Persian men in this collection don't seem to be enjoying themselves at all?  Even the dog / bear has a happier look on its face than the men do.

#9 is not a dog

by cyclicforward on

Actually if you read the subtitles it says a bear. It is very hard for me to read the subtitles but the ones that I make out are written in old persian style and quite interesting. Almost as interesting as the pictures.

as Iranian artist I have dreams to have sex?

by hajiagha on

after I left Iran to Canada from 1995 I had only 3 times to pay and short times have sex....which all this beautiful illustration give me an ideas...to things why I left Iran such nice place to gay country Canada, sex is part of are life like eating food is so important...but my advice to you please do not land in British country they are gay....In Islamic country like Iran was more easy for me date or get married or temporary sex....sucks to Canadian democracy every body here are lesbian


Bahram

They must be Canadians

by Bahram on

Those can't be Qajar era drawings! Those must be depictions of Canadians
having sex. Everyone knows Iranians didn’t know anything about
pornography until they were exposed to Canadians. (at least those of us who have read the cartoons of a certain contributor to iranian.com know that). The proof is the drawing with the dog which is obviously a chocolate
Labrador retriever.


Majid

Play boy?

by Majid on

Is that play boy,Persian Version? move over Hef. !!!!!!!!!!!!


AmirT

Impressive find!

by AmirT on

Looking at these paintings, one can't help but conclude that their headgears (turbans, hats, whatever) must have been very important to our forefathers. :)

Sorry ladies, the dog has been neutered!

Good Times

I think that is the reason they say "prostitution" is the oldest business in the world. As Seinfeld would say "not that there is anything wrong with that".

Well ahead of playboy...

by jigsaw on

So, we can conclude that pronorgraphy originated from India and Iran...Ah the irony!!!

In fact, I've heard that there is an Iranian old painting dating back to centuries ago portraying orgy. Does anyone have more info. on that?

The artist was centuries ahead of his time!

by farrad02 on

This collection is very telling. It shows interracial sex. It shows inter-species sex! Somone must have been centuries ahead of his time to create this work! Very impressive! :)
