Jürgen von der Lippe - Jürgen von der Lippe liest: Sextextsextett - Comedy-Lesung
Jürgen von der Lippe, born in 1948, has been a successful master of humorous craftsmanship and a moderator on stages and television for decades. He lives in Berlin and among other accolades, has been awarded the Bambi, the Grimme Prize, and the Golden Camera. His latest books, "Beim Dehnen singe ich Balladen," "Der König der Tiere," "Nudel im Wind," and "Sex ist wie Mehl," have all been on the bestseller list for weeks.
As with his previous 15 books, fans will enjoy themselves while non-fans will overlook the numerous linguistic nuances, interesting facts, and witty insights, whether intentionally or out of cognitive weakness, and will be outraged by the genital-referential passages. Goethe already observed: "Every individual hears only what he understands."
I side with Schopenhauer: "Pleasure in the act of copulation. That is it. That is the true essence and core of all things, the purpose and aim of all existence."
This is the universal human condition: Desire, temporary satisfaction, boredom, further desire. The genitals are the true focal point of the will.
Three Schopenhauer quotes that I will throw at any critic who accuses me of preferring genital-referential themes - just like now:
It is hard not to rave about my new book.
Even for me.
Starting with the title Sextextsextett, a tongue-twister and icebreaker in conversation at the same time. What does it promise?
Everything they want and more:
Lots of zeitgeist, sometimes timeless, sometimes mindless, answers to burning questions like: What does language do for hair loss, how to mindfully end a relationship, where are the differences between Goethe's erotic poetry and that of Hermann Löns?
What does the feminist movement "Equal Breast for All" want?
Who said: "The genitals are the true focal point of the will" and what name could one give their own? Schopenhauer. So that's where the quote comes from, the other is up to you.
How many meanings can the phrase "I have a finger in my butt" have? Numerous texts reflect my xenologophilia, my love for foreign words, which I then like to explain through jokes, such as the malapropism, the confusion of similar-sounding foreign words: "Yesterday afternoon, I was deflowered. You mean confirmed! No, that was in the morning."
One of the most mysterious and at the same time universally applicable sentences in the book, if not in literature, is: "I am awake now." I don't want to say more at the moment.
And there are poems, created as a bycatch during water aerobics with my wife on vacation:
Pale as a ghost, white as a sheet
The eyes fixed, the noodle soft
To see one's own partner like this
After making love, is not nice
