Berlin 2001 5th Venus Trade Fair “The Phantom Menace”
by Raymond J Loan
(BERLIN, GERMANY) — With an insistent gripping in my stomach that at first I atributed to the effect of the laxative I had taken the previous day to solve certain intimate problems, I boarded an airplane in the company of some friends that would take us via Frankfurt to Berlin to attend the 5th Venus Messe, this year celebrated in the middle of October.
Big mistake! The gripping in my stomach was simply… fear, panic, terror, to fly in an airplane as I know now. Neither the severe controls, nor the dogs that smell the luggage, (to look for explosives) nor the amiability of the stewardesses, nor the amiable voice of the crew of Lufthansa, were able to calm to me going there nor the return flight. But Berlin, in October, I comfort myself with sun, beer, and not very cold temperatures. And now the chronicle of this 5th edition of the Venus Messe.
This year, and by previous notes sent to the press, (before the 11 of September) they were expecting 300 or more exhibitors, European and American, distributed in five trading pavilions. But only 200 were there, and in the solitairy stands reserved for the companies of the United States you could see posters with the flag of the stars and stripes in which they explained their reasons not to go to Venus and wishing to the visitors a pleasant visit.
The absence of visitors and American exhibitors, also noticed in this edition and the one of some European and Eastern important companies, in other editions present, although the powerful German ships like, Orion, ZBF, Beathe Uhse and Private fit their stands better located in Venus dedicating a good part of their sex weapons to the new technologies and the electronic commerce.
*The organizers, perhaps because this year furnace was not for buns limited the erótics exhibitions and spectacles, to such an extent: that a veteran as Man Best I eliminate the scene, where habitually we could enjoy the hedonista choreography of its its boys, naked and beautiful like self -same Apolo, causing erections and humidities between the spectators of both sexes. My camera was hungry: and single I could feed it with cautious naked, some that another siliconed breast, and nothing of pubic hair.
The shows of sado and domination, were apt for babies, and hard, single was present in the screens of the video producers. Balancing this almost puritanical image, this Venus, offered but opportunities of business to the professional visitors, in it’s pavilion of commerce, vetoed to I publish of weekend, that volume to the assault their allowed zone, releasing to hormones repressed the year throughout, and forgetting Taliban, anthrax and of any other threat in the name of the Blessed Ala that by the way and without a doubt must be furious, with the bad press that they are giving him…
And I finish. The last day we join us almost all in a festive dismissed, blessed supper of abundant German beer, and we offered by sex, and the love: the ultimate refuge in these dark days of uncertainty. So:¡ to F…friends that the world finishes !
