Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Out of your whole life give but one moment!
All of your life that has gone before,
All to come after it, – so you ignore,
So you make perfect the present, – condense,
In a rapture of rage, for perfection’s endowment,
Thought and feeling and soul and sense –
Merged in a moment which gives me at last

I find it fascinating how people like to combine erotic imagery with archery - usually with scantily clad or nude women, and rarely ever men in poses that look more like classic pin ups. Like the images below.
Pin up art is relatively tame by modern standards.
This piece is more about youthful athleticism then it is erotic.
This photograph is so tame CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10466716759836529168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514058884133838682.post-44043408525989104922014-11-10T01:00:00.000+00:002015-01-05T23:49:18.672+00:00Eroticism in Art History = Awkward?November 2014.
So I was browsing art history books on Amazon when I came across the book "Erotic Art: An Annotated Bibliography with Essays" by Eugene C. Burt, as seen below.
And as you can see, judging by the cover, it is quite possibly the least sexy book about erotic art you will ever see.
396 pages of essays about erotic art - quite possibly without even showing erotic art.

I dreamt of her again last night.
When we first kisses it was sweet and tender, almost by accident.
But every kiss after that was more feverish than the last.
It had been so long since we had last seen each other.
We have both changed so much since then.
But the old flame still burns strong inside us.

Nor can I change the way I feel CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10466716759836529168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514058884133838682.post-15246827005120090452013-06-12T00:09:00.003+01:002013-06-12T00:09:54.325+01:00Blossoms of Love

Hello!
I have just awoken from an interesting dream wherein I was flirting with my wife.
It was bizarre for multiple reasons.
#1. I am not married. I don't even know the woman in my dream.
#2. I have never flirted in a dream before. Clothes ripping sex, yes, but flirting? Nope!
Essentially I was visiting my wife at her office where she was working at hiring a new secretary.

Love and affectiondoesn't have to be erotic.The joining of two mindsis much more romantic.
People who love only sexare really just pathetic.The virtue of karma in relationshipsis such that it makes justice poetic.
Finding genuine love and kindnessmakes two lovers positively magnetic.Lust is the mere byproduct of affection,but true love is both prophetic and CMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10466716759836529168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1514058884133838682.post-85992095909497498092011-11-12T14:48:00.001+00:002012-04-27T13:53:12.584+01:00Pleasure & Gentle PainBy Charles Moffat, Canadian Poet.
I push you against the wall, ripping your shirt open
You push me back, your hands tugging at mine
Our kisses are fast, unrelenting and turn into bites
We hit the ground in a tumble of clothing
I struggle to get on top of you, to find my way inside you
I succeed, but you grab me and wrestle me to one side
I grab your breasts mercilessly, no time for caution

Song lyrics often employ double entendres like 'Let Your Love Come Over Me'. One of the best examples I've ever heard is the song Dirty World by the Traveling Wilburys (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty).

I slide my hand down your back and cup one of your buttocks, pressing you closer to me.
Our hips grind together rhythmically, drawn together by wild lust and rampant desire.
Your lips are like water to a man traveling the desert sands, never quite quenching my thirst.
Amidst all these wild emotions, the letting go of barriers inside my heart I question:
