Kaplan called a 'descriptive generalization' that may 'inform us of what
manner of creature we may expect to encounter on our travels without pur-
porting to lay bare the nature of the beast'. Kaplan, however, also said that
descriptive generalizations stem from fairly direct observations and are on
a low level of abstraction. That does not apply to feudalism in any of its
senses. What the concept of feudalism seems to have done since the six-
teenth century is not to help us recognize the creatures we meet but to tell
us that all medieval creatures are the same so that we need not bother to
look at them. Put another way, feudalism has provided a kind of protective
lens through which it has seemed prudent to view the otherwise dazzling
oddities and varieties of medieval creatures.
He said that a connection existed between blood and semen. He believed that semen was produced from blood using body heat. He also believed that too early initiation of sexual activity may mean loss of semen and a loss of valuable and much-needed nourishment.
In Papua New Guinea some communities believe that semen provides sexual maturation to the younger men of the tribe. The tribes believe that the semen of older men can bestow manliness and wisdom to the younger men and for this reason, the younger men fellate their elders in order to receive their authority and powers.
In ancient eastern cultures, gemstones are believed to be drops of divine semen. Chinese believe jade is the dried semen of the celestial dragon.
