first wanks    When we were still kids we would rub against things or instinctively touch ourselves with our hands. But our first conscious masturbations,
those beyond the instinct of discovery and caused by sexual desire, took place at the beginning of adolescence. And it is at that moment that we make one of the most important lasting discoveries in life. Even though in our society our first kiss and the “first time” with somebody
else have been mythicised, the discovery of our ability to self-pleasure really does change our lives.

And in that voyage of discovery author Pako Aristi’s book Kcappo (Tempo Di Tremolo) and the follow-ups Irene (Tempo Di Adaggio) and Krisalida
(Tempo Di Tempo) were a huge help to me and all my classmates at school. As the years pass we still comment on them at the very rare get-together meals we have. As well as giving us the only three Latin phrases we ever learnt, a lot of us remember which exact pages we read over and over again (49, 67, 112...). The ability of literature to give pleasure was an amazing discovery for the boys and girls in that class. And while we didn’t learn anything about trios, thanks to these books we did find out what a
trilogy was. After that we discovered Joxean Sagastizabal’s Jolasean. It quickly became the most borrowed book from the school library. The pages were soon smudged through use (and our dirty hands). Who would have said that we would find our first pornographic magazines in literature? We haven’t stopped reading… or wanking… since.
