      Back when I studied Anthropology in college, they would always talk about statuettes like these being evidence of a “cult of fertility”. Years later I realized that’s just fancy academia language for “porn”.

        I dunno. I don’t think they’d have time for that while kung-fu fighting.

          It’s possible that they were fighting because of something someone did earlier. It may (or may not) have had anything to do with being horny. I’m just open to the possibility that the one lead to the other, even if there’s no archeological or lyrical record of it. Sometimes you find this stuff in the subtext.
