garnered both critical acclaim and opprobrium when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1782; although it did not diminish the painting’s popularity, the suggestion that the young woman was in the midst of an erotic dream or in a post-orgasmic state was scandalous. suppressed for centuries by the Catholic Church. Mounted on a sheet are the remains of nine separate engravings printed from copper plates: four show female heads in profile, while three depict the naked upper bodies of women in positions that hint at intercourse. Two nude males seen from the torso up suggest similar activity. The fragments have been cut carefully to avoid any explicit details, forcing us to guess at their original graphic content, but ultimately ensuring their survival from censure by the Vatican. directed by Dalí and the Surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel. In one scene, a hole appears in a man’s hand—the instrument of masturbation—after he fights with a woman. Ants swarm into and out of the hole, symbolizing the danger of a Welcome to my world. I’m a retired sex therapist and educator who crafts erotic fantasies to arouse your mind and other parts.
I wanted to create new Bodyscapes, focus more on the feminine, and have a closer look at nature. I began to study colour therapy, and extend my knowledge of Tarot symbolism. This opened up a whole new area of research into spirituality and esoteric subjects, and I found a limitless supply of inspiration there, which may sound surprising but it is not as incompatible as it might seem. To me these are all a natural extension of the same subject – what is the human experience all about? What is the powerful force that flows through all living things? ’The Pathway of the Lands’ Tarot card I do recall meeting a lady in her early sixties who suddenly discovered a passion for being spanked, but she was very unusual. She told me that she had been trapped in a stifling marriage for years, and after her divorce the need for spanking just burst out spontaneously in her fantasies. She had gone in search of experience and found a new partner, and a wonderful release from her frustrations. Erotic relationships in later life need to be flexible and caring – we all have a lot of history behind us, and must treat each other with special understanding. Sex has a quite different role to play at this time. A Georges Delfau illustration from L’invitation Our needs and desires change at different times of our life. I don’t feel the same need for physical intimacy now, although there are times when I would love to have those hormone-driven energy boosts again. I keep reminding myself that new phases bring new possibilities. I remember a male friend telling me once how testosterone acts as a sort of poison which interferes with the brain functioning of young men. He said he was relieved to be able to think more clearly now he was in his later years. This made me smile at the time, but I guess to a certain extent it must be true for women too. We all do mad things when we’re younger, and for a while our sense of proportion is thrown to the wind. ‘Old Major’, an illustration for Februs
He suggests that these themes show our interest in exploring sexuality differently than the learned norms of our upbringing. By breaking past our familial, cultural or religious beliefs, our fantasies can add MORE to the mind stimulation. As a therapist, I used Dr. David Schnarch’s Quantum Model (QM) to assist clients with sexual concerns. It’s a good way to explain how our bodies respond to sexual stimuli like erotica. Many of our visitors today are viewing Maximum Erotica on their smart phones or tablets and because of this, we have made sure that your viewing experience is maximised and so most of the videos here work just as well, no matter what screen your on. Nauman is also interested in the power and effect of language, and its ability to communicate ideas. He is often playful with words, as can be seen in the text for In many of the stories I illustrated for Janus and Februs the dominant characters were frequently middle-aged or older. They reflected the fantasies that readers requested, usually because they were recalling their far-off schools days with a disciplinarian teacher. I have to admit that there was a humorous element in many of these scenes, particularly the ones set in the Victorian era.
over a period of time, and that the project evolved from one-off prints into an open-ended group with a common format. Whatever the historical truths, Katharina Kranichfeld sees many parallels between the experience of Lucrezia Borgia, her own experiences of sexual abuse, and the way that facts and rumours around the misuse of power are still rife today. This powerful series of etchings and paintings, made in 2010–11, is one of her most striking works. We show here the coloured versions, where the pale turquoise of a naked Lucrezia is contrasted with the purples and reds of church and court, the uncoloured etchings, and the paintings from the same series. Portrait of a Courtesan as Flora (assumed to be a portrait of Lucrezia Borgia), Bartolomeo Veneto, c.1520 In the case of multiple bidders placing the same maximum bid, the first person to place the maximumIn common with many of Germany’s avant-garde artists, Dix’s social consciousness was aroused when confronted with the sordid realities of the Weimar Republic. Having served as a soldier in the First World War, he yearned for a better society in which men could transcend their social levels. His moral outrage at the grotesque and decadent decay of post-war Europe became the defining subject of his paintings, and he honed in on the prostitutes, pimps, profiteers and beggars who had emerged in the intervening years. His anger at the victimization of the war wounded, who had been left half-starved and unable to support themselves, was represented unsparingly, contrasting the suffering of the unfortunate with the monstrous greed of the rich. in which he emphasizes and repeats the words “very hard,” perhaps with the intention of increasing the eroticism of the piece. How erotic, or not, the experience may be, though, is of course entirely down to the individual participant. Paula has even created a new self-portrait of herself to accompany these interviews, so here she is. Thank you Paula!
The baseline QM component is that your body is healthy and capable. A physical exam by your OB-GYN can determine this.

The erotic prints in this set are among very few such works to have survived from the sixteenth century, during which a huge expansion in printing technology allowed a wider array of collectors than ever before to pursue their specialist interests. Many such editions would have been suppressed during moralizing purges, among them the infamous We generally leave 1/4” - 1/2” of paper showing around the image, to accommodate signatures and for visual appeal. Now I know that aim was destined to fail – you can’t separate sex from feelings without losing a vital ingredient. After all – what is eros? We shouldn’t be controlled by our moods and emotions, but at the same time they must never be ignored. And it certainly isn’t wise to seek to transcend all inhibitions – some of them are there for a good reason!
When you apply the Quantum Model to your response, the amount of stimulation of the body-mind components can vary. This is the unique and wonderful part of the model. Only you know what amounts you need of what. It’s the MORE factor. Do you need more mind or more body stimulation? It’s your job to communicate, to yourself and/or a partner.
as his self-portrait, as an "expression of my heterosexual anxiety", and said that "masturbation at the time was the core of eroticism." Dalí was very open in interviews and
in his three autobiographies about his anxiety about genital intercourse as well as his preference for autoeroticism. A "panic fear of venereal diseases" began at a young age, when he saw medical photographs of the devastation they wreak in a textbook left by his father on the family piano. Dalí was also anxious about the size of his penis, which
he felt was small compared to those of his classmates, and an account of an intimidatingly large member in
a pornographic novel he had read led to his chronic impotence. He was still a virgin at the age of twenty-five (the time of this painting), when he met Gala Éluard, whom he married five years later. In fact, one chapter in a Dalí autobiography was entitled, "How to Become Erotic while Remaining Chaste"; but the artist said that his wife – who was ten years his senior – did help him to refine his masturbatory technique. He is best known for his illustrations for the French editions of the children’s books of Roald Dahl, James et la grosse pêche ( James and the Giant Peach) and Charlie et la chocolaterie ( Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), but his output included covers for Arthur Conan Doyle, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, several of which are still in print using his artwork. Together with psychologist Robert Ariel, he also produced an illustrated guide to the work of Freud, L’aventure psychanalytique – une évocation en images de la vie et de l’oeuvre de Sigmund Freud ( The Psychoanalytical Adventure – An Evocation in Pictures of the Life and Work of Sigmund Freud). Maybe a steamy story with minimal touch gets you going. Maybe a lot of touch with minimal reading gets you going. Maybe the amounts are equal. Over the last fifteen years most of my work has come from commissions. I have designed numerous bookplates for private collectors. This was a world I knew nothing about. Who these days thinks of commissioning their own little bookplate to paste into the frontispiece of a cherished book? Now collectors go to world-wide Ex Libris gatherings where they buy, sell or swap to enhance their own collections. As far as I know, no one puts them into actual books any more. Tree Meditation
