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.
How poetically you write!!
 
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.
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.

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.
 
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.

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.

ā€œOh my sexy brat, what are you doing to me?ā€

She just handed him her panties, ā€œif you are a good boy all day, tonight I’ll let you taste the prize,ā€ she said leaving the room as her aroma was filling his nostrils.
 
Going back to your original question - eroticism is also mindplay, atleast to me. Like the pictures you just posted. Revealing but also leaving plenty to the imagination. It's that dance can people can have without touching, seeing, hearing. And then they are able to indeed tango, that's truly sensational.
