So I'm still stuck on Freud...
I was in NYC this weekend and went to this Sushi restaurant Morimoto. I went to the restroom and there were these toilets like I had never seen before! These toilets can pulsate, wash you, dry you, etc! How is this not evidence of the importance of genitalia (and therefore Freud being right)? Why would someone create such a thing if this was not the case? And these are considered luxury toilets!

I think those toilets are very popular and common in Japan, and that's why you found it in a sushi restaurant. Japanese are usually extremely strict on hygiene (and very weird). And I think those toilets were created for the purpose of curing hemorrhoids...
ReplyDeleteReally? Wow that did not even occur to me....very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis was very amusing - but couldn't you say the same about all the "things" we do to our bodies - i.e., make-up, facials, massages - all those touches that, while perhaps a sexual association in nature, are not directly tied to the genitals?
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting! In Korea, we often have those kind of toilets in the home and it's becoming more popular but I've never matched it with Freud's importance of genitalia. Very creative thoughts!
