I don’t really have a lot of things to say about holidays most of the time. I rarely remember they are even approaching when they are, I don’t do anything special to celebrate them, and I’m generally apathetic to their meaning. None of that, however, precludes the possibility of hoping everyone else is having a very merry Christmas or a happy holiday or whatever it is you have chosen to do on this and any other related day.
As a brief interlude from all the heavy-hearted posting, I thought that, instead of making associations between this holiday and the fear of sex (I mean, as I understand it, people all around the world are generally celebrating immaculate conception, which doesn’t sound like any fun at all to me) I’d give you all a few moments of “mmmm, that nice!” in pictorial form. Enjoy.
As an aside, if anyone has information as to the identity of the artists, I would love to give them due credit as, unfortunately, I do not as yet know the original source.

That’s all I’ve got. But that first one is brilliant.

Actually, Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’s birth. The Immaculate conception is in January, and that celebrates the Immaculate conception of Mary, not her conception of Jesus. (See, Mary too was born with out the ‘stain of sin’ and was a miracle, as her mother was barren)
And if you really want to get into it, Jesus was born in spring, not now. He co-opted Mithras’s birthday.

The chastity artist at the top did something like a half-dozen chastity cartoons and then vanished (forget his name).
Happy Tuesday!

The artist goes by the name kd pierre and is known for a handful of cute ‘toons with a male chastity theme. You can see some of them on the Chastity UK website.
This one seems to be the most apropos to the season. He used to have a website, but I can’t seem to find it. Most of the web groups will have some of his stuff in the archives.
And just to echo Wendy’s observation, most people get this completely wrong. In Christian mythology, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was born “immaculate”, that is, without the stain of original sin – so as to make her worthy to bear the son of God.

The top is by artist kd pierre. Many chastity groups have some of his pics in the archives. He’s got six or eight that seem to crop up every now and then. Haven’t seen his stuff around in a while, and googling for his website isn’t turning up anything right now.
