Celebrate Carnality Today! Satyr and Nymph, by Gerard van Honthorst (1623)

May Lust and Sensuality Reign!

A Fine Day to Celebrate Your Carnality!

Perhaps you are aroused to evoke that ancient Roman fertility festival of Lupercalia? Or you might find inspiration via the traditional date to share tokens of romantic love with those who have fired your passions? As if one needed a special day to responsibly partake of the sensual joys that nature offers.

Though the globe is still in the throes of a pandemic, Lust has not been banished. Its pursuit has always required inventive means for expression—even more so during these times of enforced social distancing. It is well known that many of our technological advances have been driven by individuals seeking to expand their means for erotic fulfillment. So, intrepid sybarites, keep it safe, creative, and consensual.

May all you horny, life-loving devils enjoy a lust-filled day—as well as a musk-filled night—with your exciting, eager, and enthusiastic partners!
