Now I know that aim was destined to fail – you can’t separate sex from feelings without losing a vital ingredient. After all – what is eros? We shouldn’t be controlled by our moods and emotions, but at the same time they must never be ignored. And it certainly isn’t wise to seek to transcend all inhibitions – some of them are there for a good reason!

and the Surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel. In one scene, a hole appears in a man’s hand—the instrument of masturbation—after he fights with a woman. Ants swarm into and out of the hole, symbolizing the danger of a Purely for myself, I have chosen to paint women in an almost mythical setting – sometimes floating in the air, as I sometimes do in dreams. Trees have always turned me on, as I think has been reflected in a lot of my work to date. Any excuse and I bring a tree into the scene! More recently I have started to paint portraits of actual trees in my area. Some of the older specimens have a powerful presence, and I try to show my personal connection with them as well as revealing their radiance and majesty. however, while overt, is decidedly different from
that of the watercolor and pencil study shown here, which has more in common with the sexually explicit drawings Fuseli made while in Rome. Images such

Only you know what amounts you need of what. It’s the MORE factor. Do you need more mind or more body stimulation? It’s your job to communicate, to yourself and/or a partner. Erotica can be digested in many forms depending on your comfort level and personal taste. It can be explored by: reading to one’s self, to a partner, a partner can read to you. For a true hands-free experience, you can listen to audio for yourself or with a partner(s).

Duchamp’s ideas join with conceptual and performance art in Nauman’s work, and the latter created several videos and photographic series in the 1960s and 1970s in which he is shown performing simple actions. These are usually centered on the
body, and on the physical experience. Some—such
asBecause there is so much material that could be included, it’s important to have a clear idea about the criteria for inclusion. In many ways it’s easiest to say what I don’t include – I’m not very interested in unimaginative, repetitive and derivative work, especially if it’s just naked women in stereotyped poses. So no pin-ups or kitsch ‘girlie’ artwork. I don’t include extreme sexual violence, especially involving the degradation and humiliation of women; there’s far too much of that both in real life and in second-rate artwork. When Februs folded in 2004, I was exhausted and quite happy to give myself a break and change direction. Everyone has to adjust to the prevailing circumstances. I love the internet and I use the latest technology; couldn’t do without it now, but I still prefer reading actual books and painting and drawing with actual brushes and pencils. Erotica authors have done the work of categorizing the fantasy they created. You can sample the topics you think will arouse you and maybe you will surprise yourself with areas you didn’t expect would arouse. Erotica writers can be your link to mind stimulation, your personal imagination fantasy creators. Find your favorite and see what happens. Read Erotica for You.

Michel Siméon is one of the many talented illustrators active in the 1950s and 60s about whom we know almost nothing beyond the legacy of their work. We assume that he was based in Paris, as he regularly worked for mainstream Paris-based publishers including Gallimard and Le Livre de Poche, and his output included many well-known classics. Having acquired a reputation as a portraitist among the upper classes of Zagreb, Auer painted over 150 portraits. He was the sole Croatian painter to be included in the Munich Secession Exhibition of 1896, and his work received a special prize at the exhibition of Croatian painting at the Paris World’s Fair of 1906. He established his art studio in Rokovo Perivoj (Roko’s Park), near the Vila Auer, his parents’ house where he had grown up. Together with his wife, the painter Leopoldina Auer-Schmidt, he ran a private art school while also holding a professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts of the University of Zagreb. Cleopatra, 1908 While many concupiscent images relocate their sensuality on to the handling of paint, or displace
it into surrogate objects within the picture – foamy seas, cascading hair, writhing putti – this drawing
by Henry Fuseli is firmly anchored within the realm of nineteenth-century erotica. In this pencil and watercolor sketch, three women couple with a prostrate man, his head hidden between the thighs of the woman on the right. The four bodies form a pyramid; the figure at the apex lowers herself on to the erection of their common lover, while the third figure assists by holding his penis. The women’s clearly evident pubic hair and brazen sexual appetites suggest that they are prostitutes. Their elaborate hairdos corroborate that through a link to earlier works in Fuseli’s in which Klein painted naked women with his distinctive International Klein Blue paint and made imprints of their bodies on large sheets of paper.The second QM component is that you can respond to all physical sensory inputs (touches to the body). i.e. You know what feels good and where. Your choice of fantasy may be directly tied to heightened total stimulation. That is, some fantasies will stimulate you and some won’t. This, too, goes on your investigation list.
