![]() More likely than that, however, would be for further playable Mario characters. Kirby, Samus, Olimar, and Captain Falcon in Mario Kart 9, anyone? It would be nice to see other Nintendo characters enter the fray too. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Link, the Inklings, and Animal Crossing characters return, anyway. We could see all of the playable characters from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe return for Mario Kart 9, plus a few more newcomers. Nintendo could pull another Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We’d fully imagine that the likes of Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Daisy, Yoshi, Toad, and Waluigi will all be playable, too. We’re pretty sure, for example, that Mario will be a playable character in Mario Kart 9. While Nintendo has yet to announce Mario Kart 9, this won’t stop us thinking about what playable characters it might feature. What the game will be like, however, is anyone’s guess. We’d argue that you should expect to see Mario Kart 9 release on Nintendo Switch by the end of 2020, anyway, summer 2021 just to be safe. Time will tell if this prediction comes true, though. A summer 2020 release date for Mario Kart 9 would put a gap of three years between it and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As of writing, the longest gap between mainline Mario Kart entries has been the gap between Mario Kart 8 and 9.īased on all of this, however, we’d like to argue that a summer 2020 Mario Kart 9 release date seems likely. Mario Kart Super Circuit released on GBA five years after Mario Kart 64 released on the N64 in 2001. The only time other than now when a full new Mario Kart release took five years or longer after its preceding entry was Mario Kart Super Circuit. Now we have Mario Kart Tour, a brand new mobile game, though still no sign of Mario Kart 9.ĭiscounting the Arcade editions, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Kart Tour, mainline Mario Kart games tend to release every two or three years. It’s been over two years since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe released on Nintendo Switch, too. ![]() ![]() It has now been over five years since Mario Kart 8 originally released on Wii U.

This rake’s feminine counterpart, though, is a self-actualized girl on the make. Richard Francis Burton, the Victorian explorer who brought the Kamasutra to the West’s attention in 1883 - though his translation wouldn’t be published in the UK or the US until 1962. A surgical method the book cheerfully recommends is piercing a young man’s member and enlarging it “by putting larger and larger spears of reeds and ivory-tree wood in it.” Excuse me, I have to faint now. Wherever there are men, there is alarm about penis size. ![]() They talk about things they have done together before, joking and titillating, touching upon all sorts of things hidden and obscene.”Īs in Playboy magazine, though, there is unease beneath the surface of this metrosexual who daintily colors his lips. He embraces her gently with his left arm to prepare to make love. He sits down on her right side and touches her hair, the fringe of her sari and the knot of her waistband. The young buck who emerges as the book’s masculine ideal is almost a parody of the well-heeled urban swell whose only job is having fun: He spends the day watching cockfights, playing games, posing in salons, napping and singing, all as buildup to the evening, when “he and his friends await the women who are slipping out for a rendezvous with them.” When it’s business time, “he puts her at ease and offers her another drink. In the Kamasutra - which might be translated as “The Rules of Desire” - homosexuality and even transgenderism are all part of the fun, female sexual pleasure and oral sex meet with approval, sex toys for women (including vegetables and small statues) are lauded and the author seems to be aware of the G-spot, which in some cultures remains mysterious even today. Wendy Doginer is a history of religions professor at the University of Chicago. “The world of the Kamasutra is a fantasized world of sex that is in many ways the prototype for Hugh Hefner’s glossy Playboy empire,” writes University of Chicago history of religions professor Wendy Doniger in her new book, “Redeeming the Kamasutra.” Nor, in its single-girl-about-town sections, would it be unfamiliar to Carrie Bradshaw of “Sex and the City.” Its seduction advice even anticipated the player’s handbook “The Game” - a guy is advised to have a wingman pretend to be a fortune teller and tell the target lady’s mom how blessed with auspicious signs the suitor is. Some of the sex-positive aspects of the book were missed or toned down by Burton. The Victorian explorer Richard Francis Burton brought the text to the West’s attention with his 1883 translation, though due to obscenity laws, the book was not legally published in either the UK or the US until 1962. The Kamasutra, written by the Hindu philosopher Vatsayana sometime in the 3rd century, was so far ahead of its time that even hundreds of years later, its words carried far too many sexually revolutionary ideas - frank, gender-fluid, unabashedly celebratory of the sensuous - for it to appear uncensored before the public eye. “Redeeming the Kamasutra” by Wendy Doniger For more than a century, we’ve thought of the third-century Sanskrit text, the Kamasutra, mainly as an illustrated guide to improbably gymnastic sex - frisky moves of the kind Cosmopolitan magazine gave such nicknames as “the backstairs boogie,” “the octopus” and “the spider web.” But the naughty imagery is a small part of the book: It turns out that the world’s most famous sex manual is more about bending your mind than your limbs. |
