A man should be the experienced lover, while women are told very little and if they’re lucky they had an older sister or cousin that did speak of the 1st night and sex and what a woman’s duty is. For a woman, it’s her duty, yet for a man he gets to enjoy it and must “Sow his oats” before marriage.
Every young Italian man is told this, so this way it takes away the desire later on to be with other women. Does it? Come on, most men cheat in general at least once, but Italians actually have most cultures beat when they’re actually told its ok to cheat, as “men are made this way”
Carlo was making his way to see his fiancée Angelina after leaving his lover at the motel and realized that he smelled like some cheap advertisement for women’s perfume. His lovers smell was all over him.
She wouldn’t say a thing, he thought as they were getting married in 2 weeks and she would never jeopardize it at this stage of the game.
He got to her house and his future father in law was tending to the fig tree and his son was mowing the lawn.
“Carlo, come stai?” Shouted Angelina’s father. “Good, great!” Carlo said as he walked over to shake the man’s hand and patted the son’s back.
“Angelina’s ready?”
“Yah, for sure….go inside and Maria will make you a cappuccino”
Carlo walked in and Angelina’s mother saw him and her face lit up. It’s as if the second coming was walking in!
Most families feel as if when their daughter’s getting married the man will now “take her off” their hands and “take care of her”.
If he cheats on her, it’s her fault, if things go wrong, it’s her fault, if she has a girl as a 1st child it’s her fault…basically the man is truly King of the Castle, Master of his domain and Ruler.
How I loved being able to tell people later on that it’s the male’s X AND Y chromosomes that determine the sex of a child!
It shocked them actually, but hey reality usually does shock Italians!
Stay tuned for part III
« Okay, that's it.
