About the love for body in medicine, and specifically about

1) sexual love and sadism

2) aesthetic pleasure and fascination

One of the most obvious and hushed up features of being a medical doctor, is the love for the other’s body. Love to look at it, from outside, from inside, from everywhere, to picture it, to care for it, to clean it, to listen to it, to examine it, to palpate it, to cure it, to heal it, to open it, to penetrate it, to sew it up, to amputate it, to repair it, to massage it, to biopsy it, to dissect it, to analyse it, to describe it, to admire it, love for its functioning, its mysteries, love for its flesh, its fluids, pus, faeces, blood, bile, tears, sex and soul… all of it. LOVE.

An infinite, unrestricted love.

A group of international artists, practicing surgeons, psychiatrists, philosophers, thinkers, sexperts, active sadists and more will during two years meet regularly to investigate why these aspects of the medical profession that appear to be known to everyone are rarely, if ever spoken about, studied, taught, integrated in the medical curriculum. Why are these topics taboo?
