Eroticism

I agree and disagree, slightly.

Yes, your simplicities are beautiful… but these simplicities are also intimacies….

As if, the images and words are overtures … reaching out for permission, acceptance? A response to certain yearnings?

Yes, your words and images are starkly beautiful… and intimate.
What I really like about this thread - it provides contemplation. @softbird has got us all thinking instead of just shutting our minds and paying more attention to our baser impulses. It makes the mind the sexiest fucking organ!!
- it also makes us think of her. I’ve studied her posts from the beginning. She began with a general sense of eroticism, but then she went to different aspects of this eroticism, manifested in body parts. Then she moved and has been moving more and more towards self-reflection.

It’s as if we’re looking into the very psyche of womanhood, you know.. I’m not often in Lit, but these days I am, for two women.. one of whom is this delicate creature

I see this thread as a metaphorical chrysalis, where softbird started us off on a journey, which has changed as she is revealing herself more and more … challenging, entertaining and revealing her intimate sensual profundities to those of us emerging from our own Plato’s Cave.
 
Yes it is, place your arm around my waist, and we’ll fall into the deep chasm together, there’s no need to be afraid, it’s warm and safe, and you’ll find yourself in heaven.

You’re very convincing. I know of two types of women who are very persuasive - witches and succubi. Which one are you? ☺️😘🤪

Yes.. they are spoken from a place of a strange yearning which is also mixed in with trepidation.. maybe I’m overthinking this beautiful moment I’m in, but I’m being forced to confront myself.. these images, I hoped, tried to show that
 
I do agree. Her simplicities make her, in my mind, the most desirable woman on Lit I’ve had the pleasure of encountering..
Right, so.. *grabbing my purse out of my bag* how much do I owe you for this?

I love you for being here.. I love you all for being here. I love you for saying these words. To be studied - this embarrasses me.. it makes me shudder, but it also makes me blush 💕

Oh my.. Chrysalis, Plato’s cave… I adore you.. your words are velveteen! 💋
 
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 think that definition just nailed it for me
All the pictures shown..my pulse quickens,so does my breathing..and in my mind I fill in what's not shown,what you don't see. but I don't get an erection..
 
There’s definitely a spell being cast here 😎

But it also brings to mind a phrase I like .. resistance is futile ..
Now immediately upon seeing that image ..I felt a sensation in my cock instantly..not an erection, not a throbbing..not even a tingling..I don't know how to explain it..the instant the image hit my eyes..I <felt> my cock.. does that make sense? For those with a penis.do you understand what I mean?
 
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.

There you go..the small of a woman's back..to see it, touch it..to place your hand on her back or hip so that just your fingertips softly,gently rest there..I love to gently brush the small of my wife's back with my fingers.when we're in bed and she's lying on her side..
 
I love you for being here.. I love you all for being here. I love you for saying these words. To be studied - this embarrasses me.. it makes me shudder, but it also makes me blush 💕
Trying not to be.
redundant?..but thinking more in terms of a feedback loop..the thought of you blushing, shuddering..is also erotic .and makes me shudder... As to being studied..I can relate in a way....many years ago...in my early very early teens...a girl about the same age ask if I would hold still while she drew a profile of my head.. nothing sexual at all.. we were both fully clothed..but in those moments of holding still while this person studied the side of my face while drawing me, gave me a tingling, shuddering sensation..even now I feel that same sensation just recalling the event.

I think that is quite erotic. Because the erotic isn’t excess. It is restraint. ‘ the enemy of art is the absence of restraint’
 
These following photos are not erotic, maybe to some, if you want to spin it that way, but they are simplicities. I like simplicities. Not the overt, but the understated.

Even though I am a belated entrant to this thread I hope I can take the liberty to express how deeply it connects with me.

Beauty, to me, very often resides in simplicity and shows up as understated elegance. This is just my opinion.

The pictures you have shared are so elegant, every one of them. Thank you.

Thank you. Unwittingly I had put this thread on my watch list and has now zoomed to the very top.

IMHO, the brain follows by the eyes are the most erotic parts of a human body, especially the latter. There could be so much said and communicated sensually with the just the eyes. Again, simplicity - something that you bring out on your thread

You're very sweet. The eyes! yes...I know...it's such an art is it not?
 
I'm on the road right now, so I won't be able to post any images, but I won't be far.

In the meantime, a bit of my 'creative spurt' which is from a thread I started maybe about a couple of months ago...I'm not sure if this is a good fit for this thread, but perhaps you would forgive me. In fact, I know tyou would!

She seemed far away now, falling low, and lower, as if the only way out of this was if she fell through the world, becoming the world, and all the while, little screams, like disembodied voices - some hers, some uncannily strange and wild, like the howls of she-wolves in gothic forests - and further she fell, into the dark light of this long profound silence, yes, silence, despite the howling wolves, despite the distant wailing, like a midnight dream, but no sooner had she fallen into this silence the voices would clamour again, submerging her in a trance of flaming skin, and flailing limbs, and she rolled back, and found that if she stayed still the flood would take her, and she would, miraculously, fly, soar, sing, and then the wolves howled again, like an ancient prothalamion, wrapping her in the moistened universe of joy.
