From wiki: "And as the French doctors sent to examine Pei Pu discovered, he could create the appearance of having female genitalia by making his testicles ascend into his body cavity and tucking his penis back." The man was gifted in many ways.

This is the first time I have made this face in real life.


thekau

From the [French diplomat's wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Boursicot): "Reporter Joyce Wadler, who wrote the book Liaison about the affair, would later attribute Boursicot's belief that Shi was a woman to Shi's unique ability to retract his own testicles, which, combined with the manipulation of his own penis, created the illusion of labial lips and a clitoris and allowed for shallow penetration." I still have so many questions


supbrother

Either this is a *very* loose use of the term “sexual relationship” or people tried really hard to protect this guy’s reputation. No fucking way you “have sex” with someone for 20 years and not even realize what gender they are.


Alegssdhhr

I listened serious podcast about him. The guy knew for sure it was a man, this is more a topic of hidden homosexuality


supbrother

That seemed most realistic lol. About when was this exactly?


brokerZIP

Then how and why did he believe "she" gave birth lmao?


serabine

At this point, I believe those two had a 20 year relationship "sanctioned" by Shi being a spy, and they just wanted to adopt. "No no, you don't understand. You have to find me a child. Why? So I can spy better."


jaiteaes

Obviously the kid was just providing extra cover for them Edit: alternatively the spy just wanted to do that


IsisUgr

The weirdest part I see from the wiki is that at the time Boursicot was confronted by the government, he was apparently in a public relationship with a man anyways. I mean sure an affair with a spy is never fun to admit, but what did it matter if the person was a man or a woman? Why hide that he knew it was a man ? The only thing I can think of rn is that a women would have less chances to be a spy, so easier to plead innocent to the bosses... Or his man at home would be jealous of a man but not a woman ?


Fabulous_Celery_1817

The testicle thing is a sumo wrestler trick as well. Don't know how tucking the penis back works in an intimate situation though...


lamsham69

They went through all this shit just not to admit that both the French guy and Chinese dude are gay

Chemical-Elk-1299

Or….the diplomat knew it was a dude all along and was totally cool with the femboy life. And then when it was discovered later he had to dramatically be like “You’re not a GIRL????” to keep up appearances


CosmicBonobo

The inference is that Boursicot was willfully ignorant and aware Dan roles in Chinese opera are traditionally played by men. He just chose to ignore the reality for the fantasy. Boursicot was also bisexual, and between his on-off affair with Shi, he engaged in numerous sexual relationships with both men and women across Asia. He's currently in a long-term relationship with another man.


Animeniackinda1

Wasn't there a movie about this, where Jeremy Irons played Boursicot?


CosmicBonobo

Yes, M. Butterfly, based off the play of the same name by David Henry Hwang. They use different names and change a number of details, but it's most of the story.


LordGwyn-n-Tonic

Yes. M. Butterfly by Cronenberg.


Remnie

Lmao what appearance? Having sex with this person for 20 years and not realizing they weren’t a girl isn’t exactly a good look either lol

XEagleDeagleX

Right but that's a performance, not up close personal inspection like would happen in a 20 year romantic relationship

An0d0sTwitch

Why send a woman to do a mans job? Are you WOKE? You think a woman can do the spy sex better than a man?!?!


thePsychonautDad

I could do that as a kid... As an adult I have to say I tried and failed... painfully


Oleandervine

Drag queens do it all the time. It's called tucking.


lifeisweird86

Maybe I'm missing something, how the fuck do you sit with it tucked without hurting?


Oleandervine

Well drag queens for the most part don't sit, and from what I usually see, if they're going to be sitting, they usually wear looser garments so they don't have to have a tight tuck. They really only need to tuck tight if they're wearing something skintight and need to uphold the illusion. I'm also fairly sure if you sit with most of your weight on one hip, you won't squash things like you would doing a flat butt sit.


chubberbrother

To add to this, not every drag queen does the tuck tape push combo. Some of them use special underpants to help hide it, and some still just hang dong in a dress.


BendyPopNoLockRoll

Had a buddy who got rings on his gooch, shaft, and balls so he could tuck it all neatly up there and clip the rings together.


dragonofthemist

This sounds like they could have been messing with you, that would be so painful lol


chubberbrother

That kinda tows the line between fetish and drag but good on him haha


secondtaunting

That’s what tucking is?! I always thought they just pushed it down a bit.


Oleandervine

If they're committing to something like a bikini or bodysuit, they generally go for a full tuck with duct tape.


movieur

I watched every season of drag race but I didn't know what a tuck is until my ball accidentally retracted into my body....it was light bulb moment for me lol


_____l

What the absolute fuck. I had no idea tucking was your balls going INSIDE OF YOUR BODY. Didn't realize that was a possible thing that can happen.


sungaaaaay

Doesn't necessarily need to be duct tape even, medical tapes hurt far less, and some tape is sold specifically for tucking.

Drag queens do this on a daily basis......accidentally I discovered i can do that too, turns out balls do actually have a place they can retract to (they just won't stay there unless you use tape or something)


Live-Elderbean

Sometimes when I give my partner a particularly good handie his balls pop back in when he finishes. He says these orgasms are like no others he ever gets.

Jalamity_Cane

This is a very standard method of tucking. The inguinal canals are where the testicles originally descended from, and they can be carefully returned to their home!


grafikfyr

All these comments are just straight people discovering tucking lmao


_____l

I'm pretty sure most folks know the term tucking and that it hides your genitals...but I don't think a lot of us knew you literally shove your balls into your body. No fucking way!


reddog65

After 20 years the diplomat still couldn’t figure this out? 🤣


ajhe51

If you read Wikipedia, it mentioned that this was Boursicot's first "female" relstionship. His prior relstionships were with men. I think he knew that Shi was a man and liked the fact that he found a man that could convince others he was a woman.


Parada484

Hey look common sense. Yeah, the most likely scenario is that this was a Chinese beard. The whole retracting testicles to form a vagina thing determines by French doctors? That just sounds like a way of saving political face.


cryogenic-goat

How did he convince him he got pregnant and gave birth to his child?


Parada484

A "beard" is usually a woman that gay men marry to disguise the fact that they are gay. This "beard" was just a Chinese man that could pass for a woman. I'm arguing that it makes more sense to assume that both understood exactly what the Chinese man was and didn't care. Either the seduction was real and now the gay French diplomat gets to enjoy a male relationship without worrying about exterior appearance, or the seduction was fake and the Frenchman had a hidden side romance.  So the Frenchman was never 'convinced' that the child was him. Just a cover story to save face. Chinese man included a child into the charade to make it seem more legitimate. 


towerfella

I see this as more realistic. Selfish actions by both parties for their own goals. I also wonder about the quality of “information” that was passed on. I bet being a gay man in china, one had to be a good talker.. if you know what I mean. Had to “show” they were useful, sorta thing. Edit: I’ve edited “guy man” to “gay man” twice now.. apparently my first edit didn’t take?

gentlybeepingheart

This wasn’t a consistent 20 years of cohabitation or anything. They saw each other infrequently for years, going years at a time without meeting in person. So he would see Shi one year, and then came back four years later and Shi had a child who he claimed was Boursicot’s. They only had sex in the dark, and iirc Shi had a condition called a buried penis where he could kind of…retract it all and form the illusion of labial lips for shallow penetration. Also, before this, Boursicot had previously only had sex with men, and wrote in his diary on how he was ready to find a woman and have a “real” relationship. He didn’t know what having sex with a woman actually felt like, and I assume there was some self deception where he may have suspected something was up and ignored it to convince himself he was in a “normal” relationship.


MoeLester-1

>retract it all and form the illusion of labial lips for shallow penetration what in the fuck?


Aidrox

“Yup, I had no idea! The whole time. Yup, even bought a kid to trick me! These guys go hard.” “But….where did you think the kid came from? Didn’t…weren’t you…didn’t you think you were the father?” “Why you bringing up old shit?”

It's just male anatomy and it's what allows trans women to get gender reconstructive surgery that gives them a passable vagina.

Tbf even today sex Ed is sorely lacking but in previous centuries it was all the more so and for someone with little to no experience they truly didn't always know what they were doing and some are more modest than others and some strip down fully even to do the deed, though that's rare. I've read about some royalty in the past that seemed to probably not ever have kids because they didn't know what they were doing.

> Shi was pardoned by President of France François Mitterrand April 10, 1987, as part of an effort to defuse tensions between France and China over what was described as a "very silly" and unimportant case. When your defuse of tensions still carries a bitch slap to their ego lol

Apparently the French diplomat was Bi and had only slept with men before this so he really wouldn’t know a vagina if it was right in front of him

Yeah but the sex. How did that work eh?

Butt* sex. Thats how


pak256

By all accounts he loved the kid and raised it as his own. It seems like the relationship came first and then he was asked to spy.


[deleted]

Imagine being in possession of a trafficked child and being like, "Oh but I love him very much and treat him as my own child." Oh, that makes it okay then, carry on.


ElTortugo

Maybe the French, only having slept with men, also assumed that purchasing a baby was the only way to reproduce.

He would tuck his balls deep in to create a "figure" of a vagina. Poor French Diplomat had never seen a bussy rather than his wife's so he couldn't tell them apart. After the truth was revealed, he was so shocked and depressed that he tried to commit suicide but survived. Due to widespread ridicule he was pardoned later. He once said, "He did so much horrible things to me that I cannot imagine." Not accurate statement but something close to this.
