Eroticism

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.
 
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.
How poetically you write!!

Where is this thread from? What's it called?
 
I am coming late to this discussion but here are my thoughts.

Eroticism isn’t the same as just sex. Sex can be simple, physical, like scratching an itch. But eroticism is more about the feeling around it, the tension, the mystery, that little thrill of crossing a line. Sometimes it’s in a look, or the way someone says something, or even just the energy between people.

Bataille basically says it’s about breaking rules, and that makes sense, things feel more alive when they brush up against what’s not supposed to happen. It’s kind of like the sublime, that rush you get from something so powerful or beautiful it overwhelms you. The erotic has that same intensity, it doesn’t have to be sexual at all, but it makes you feel more awake, more alive.

You come in late, observe the room, check it all out and then just say one thing and it’s so absolutely on target that everyone stops what they’re doing… there’s a short silence while it gets digested… and then the sound of nothing but rapturous agreement.

I would come up to you and shake your hand. Thanks for that.

A quick note can't stay...but I think Battaille is a lot more nuanced than this. Consider this from Battaille: "It is the fusion of the individual with the world, with the continuity of all being, and this is then sacred." So, yes, it is transgressive, but it is also spiritual. Breaking rules isn't necessarily spiritual. I think, based on what we've discussed in this thread, all the lovely manages and insights from every one, eroticism speaks to an unspeakable part of us...unspeakable fear and anxiety, even when what we encounter is beautiful and desirable, speechlessness and entrapment, even when we feel the freedom when we encounter the other.

Deeply appreciated Coco. These are thoughts I have always had but this feed gave me the opportunity to pull them altogether and expound on them.

I think that is a most articulate and thoughtful assessment. It surely goes to a much deeper level than where my thoughts took me. Well said softbird!
 
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?
Oh absolutely!
 
Imagine me, in your room doing this in front of you, before I draw you into my soul.

Then ask your question again.

“Oh my sexy brat, what are you doing to me?”

She just handed him her panties, “if you are a good boy all day, tonight I’ll let you taste the prize,” she said leaving the room as her aroma was filling his nostrils.
 
OK, so my little obsession with musically talented women seems to carry on. Part 53 of this 😂 brings you Aurora Aksnes. Don’t try and tell me there’s nothing erotic about her… she exists in the world… how amazing is that? She’s spellbinding. prepare to be enchanted:



But no, there’s more. I love the way she moves and expresses herself in this song too. There’s a part at 2:55 where there’s a bridge, and as she builds it back up again, you can see and hear her welling up, and the way she moves when she releases again; the way she almost can’t contain herself… OMG!

That’s all. Carry on… 😝
