Eroticism

[softbird]

So, I think there is a difference between Eroticism and pure sexuality. While the sexual can also be erotic, the erotic is often not necessarily sexual.
George Battaile said once that eroticism as thriving when it breaks prohibitions, goes beyond the physical, into something else, something we can’t express but feel. Perhaps, he is referring to o something similar to what the Romantics called the sublime.

So this thread is about the erotic, moving away from the sexual to something being it, something more sublime.

Hopefully we can work out what eroticism actually is.

Her are some images

I think of velvet when I think of the erotic, excruciatingly smooth, criminally intoxicating, and invariably, I see women’s bodies..View attachment 2557953View attachment 2557954

Silhoettes take light away, but they add vision, erotic vision. Movement itself is a mark of being, or essence. The fluid cadence is like soft kisses down the flank of your torso

I think the eye prefers curves to straight lines. But we live in cities of straight lines, such a tyrannical regime of lines that brooks no resistance. So, when we see curvilinear forms, we give it a name - Eroticism

Your linguistic is very erotic and sensual

Great idea for a thread!

Eroticism makes the brain slow down; sexuality ... the brain and hormones are more impulsive.

Eroticism suggests; sexuality grabs hold.

I love being in the erotic zone

The suggestion, the promise, the proposal, is more enticing than the execution. It's like a kiss one gives to the mind:

The waiting, the anticipation is the act itself, because in this erotic moment, the body lives through its desires. The actual act merely affirms:

 

[softbird]

She breaks from all tradition, troubles the men, who frown at her insanity, and yet she is, unknowable, unpredictable.

Beautiful @softbird

I see the intertwining of erotic and evocative perfectly in your image selection. So much in each image to allow the mind to pause and explore possibilities.

Make that a man's milk and I'll be a happy purring kitty licking up the mess

Then let us assume it is!

There is a sublime architecture in the way the body is constructed. Some called it the curse of the devil, others have fought wars over their respective Helens of Troy, still others kill, enslave themselves.

Whatever it is, no word need ever be spoken for this architecture to wrap you in its sorcery.

I've often fallen in love with the backs of women, staring at them from across the street, or the room, or in a train carriage, where I steal glimpses of their necks, the small of their backs. And then I catch someone looking in my direction, and suddenly my body is alight.
