The title of this sculpture has been borrowed from the writer Havelock Ellis,
the celebrated psychologist of human sexuality who lived towards the end
of the last century. Here one sees a huge ejaculation taking place under
the gaze of an astounded woman. In the orange box, when the lights is
correctly positioned over the darting tongue, one also sees the head of
a charming blonde. Two small framed texts spurt from the eyes of the man.
One comes from Stendhal: "She was contemptuous of her husband, as all
honest wives should be, but she was not contemptuous enough". The
other quotation comes from Professor Jouvet, expert on the sleeping
habits of the domestic cat: "Only the armadillo is capable of a voluntary
erection". Note that the manŐs skull is made from an armadilloŐs shell.
