...paper here or there (We wonder why they were so relaxed?), and the papers were on sex-related topics of the students’ choosing. While the exams sometimes threw in surprisingly specific questions from the textbook, there were enough pictures of titties to make the reading more than pleasant. Let's face it—in real life, no one is going to ask you to discuss the constitution of Vichy France or identify a Bach concerto. But whether or not you're "comfortable" with sex, you'll have to deal with it at some time in your life...

Taarof does not seek to mask the truth, it simply rests on the belief that life is more pleasant when you do not needlessly inform every jerk you meet that he is indeed a jerk. What does this mean in practice? Say you go to meet the deputy foreign minister. You may not be certain if he likes you, for either way taarof will demand that he greet you warmly...
