What to learn from ancient Latvians when planning Jāņi sex?
In an interview, writers Rita Lasmane and Helmuts Bēķis discuss ancient Latvian sexuality and their new erotic novel, urging people to embrace the liberating spirit of the Jāņi festival.
In a recent conversation with TVNET, writers Rita Lasmane and Helmuts Bēķis shared insights on ancient Latvian sexuality, modern Latvian attitudes towards sex, and their collaborative new erotic novel. In the lead-up to Jāņi (Midsummer), the authors encourage open discussion about sex and intimacy.
„A word of advice from me for Jāņi: If you haven't managed to get laid in June, you can still do it during Jāņi, and you will be forgiven!” one of the writers remarked.
The article highlights how ancient Latvians had a more natural and free attitude towards sex, and suggests that modern society could learn from that. Their new erotic novel explores these themes through a contemporary lens, blending tradition with modern views on intimacy.
