This part of the series looks at how various cultures have treated body parts (the bound feet of Chinese women, the elaborate tattoos of Tahitian men) and tells or speculates on why. (Severely deformed female feet seem to do something for Chinese male libidos.) Men given to Western fashions will learn that they wear their hair short (well, most of them) because Roman soldiers didn't want it grabbed in close combat. ** How does boy meet girl? Is finding a mate ever easy? How do you send out a signal that you're available? There are as many ways to speak the "Language of the Sexes" as there are cultures. The Japanese build shrines to the male phallus. Many Muslim women live behind veils. Ethiopian tribeswomen enlarge their lips with ceramic plates, and some Chinese used to crush women's feet to keep them tiny and delicate. Compare all this to America, where women practice gender amplification with silicone breast implants, collagen lip injections and tight high heels. It's easy to see why the "Language of the Sexes" is so hard to understand.
