Erotica
Eroticism is something always interested me, I’m sure that you may know it if you ever visited my stream in Flickr. Sexuality is something absolutely animal, and eroticism is the sublimation of sexuality and that’s absolutely human.

Again and again i come back to eroticism in my SLphotography, exploring different ways. In my last two images (you can find them here in this post) i tried to show a different angle using what we can consider a classical femenine setting (pose, composition, outfit, …) with a really masculine shape.

Erotica is made of cliché, made of standard images and ideas. Of course they can be quite diverse, but at the same time they are really restrictive. Even there are some different “restrictions” the main ones are about gender.
I’m not the first mixing in an image elements of one gender on a model of the other gender, this is also a cliché, but i’m playing this cliché on myself, and will be interesting to see how people react.
But anyway the question is: Why limit erotism? I presume the gender roles are stronger in sexuality than in any other part of the human being, that may be the reason to this limit.
I think the images are at the same time hot, crazy and funny, that was my intention when shooting and editing them.

I love the images and the thoughts behind them. I am also fascinated by eroticism. For me eroticism lies between sexuality and sensuality. These images are a perfect example of that, with curves and feathers, humour and passion. A hand slowly stroking skin can be incredibly erotic to watch, even if nothing more can be seen, because we anticipate how that feels. Perhaps that too is essential to erotocism – the wondering of “how would that feel?”, the fantasy of it.
You are right about the wondering, that’s possibly the main erotical question. Imagination is our biggest power in eroticism, for the enjoyment or for the creation of it, that’s why i think it shouldn’t have limitations (i mean inside some limits, you know what i mean).
I’m with Wolf, eroticism to me is more than sexual, it’s that sensual and even spiritual dimension to physical affection. Maybe even the blending of what is “femine” and “masculine.” Did I mention air quotes are now officially recognized in Webster’s dictionary…now, that’s pretty sweet.
