The sheet or Valencian dinner is a male sexual game to be practiced in a group, documented as historical and specific to the Valencian Country. Although its antiquity is not well known, its origins seem to date back to homosexual erotic practices of the Middle Ages, which were quite common until Catholicism began to criminalize and make them punishable as sodomies from the 11th century.This sexual test consists of a group of men sitting around a table covered with a sheet or wide cloth. Thus, their legs and genitals are covered by the length of a single garment. Under the table, another man (or a woman) must masturbate or perform fellatio on one of the participants, who must conceal it as best as possible so that the rest do not know that he is the one receiving the pleasure. It bears some resemblance to other erotic and medieval games among men — especially reus — such as the gorigorio (or gorrigorri).The presence of the sheet in the Valencian popular imagination and in historical literature had significantly fallen into oblivion until the publication in 2014 of the first version of the Valencian Normative Dictionary, when the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua included and recovered various genuine words and meanings that had never been recorded before in the lexicographical field. The word "llençolada". The tradition goes way back, as explained by the writer Ferran Torrent, and we can go back a few centuries to find similar documented practices in Valencian prisons of the 17th century. In this case, it was the "gorrigorri", a game in which a group of men, playing the role of cardinals, undressed another, figuratively the pope, who was left completely naked and blessed them one by one, anointing them with genitals bathed in water. This is explained by the American professor Cristian Berco in Sexual Hierarchies, Public Status (2007), one of the books dedicated to the study of the persecution of male homosexuality in the former Crown of Aragon that has appeared in recent years.
I propose another game, how about we all create some rules for the *Sabanasa?
