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.

Femenine

Yesterday i spent some time wearing my female avatar to take some pics with my friend Khamudy. After finishing the session i met Silverdrake, she asked me to keep wearing this avatar and we started an interesting chat about the feelings when you wear an avatar of a different gender than yours. Here are some thoughts.

Personally I think “my girl” looks quite nice, worked on that avatar to make it look as i’d like it to look. All the avatars are expressions of ourselves, this also, but was a unconscious ellection, not planned, just saw things i liked for this avatar (clothes, hair, …) and all went together quite right.

I presume this avatar is a expression of my femenine side, or a expression of my inner image of woman as a concept. Maybe because my sexual orientation i have a concept of woman quite different that the concept of most heterosexual men have. I see the sensual part of a woman more than the sexual one. And maybe i imagine a woman more sophisticated than that concept mentioned before.

Another curious thing, when i wear a female avatar i have the tendence to be less naughty. Yes, i control my jokes, don’t know why. Silverdrake has the inverse experience, when she wears a male avatar he becomes much more naughty (if this is possible).
