Erotica

From the Greek word Eros, erotica is synonymous to desire. It encompasses a wide scope of entertainment and work of art including literature, photography, film, sculpture and painting with erotically stimulating or sexually arousing descriptions.

If you are more into involving yourself with fresh new experiences for excitement, then erotica is just your perfect dose of pleasure as it slowly unravels your senses with the use of your colourful and creative imagination.

Most people indulge in works of this nature because it is sublime, it allows them to build up the heat and the passion of a sexual moment.

The photo entitled “Sensual” by an artist under the pen name robertomolina in DeviantArt became one of the most popular artworks in the site because of its erotic characteristics.

The shadows in the picture give you the element of “not revealing too much.” The woman who modelled for the photo is naked, but the shadows effectively covered the essential parts that it makes anybody else’s imagination wander wild as what is the essence of these other forms of adult entertainment. Also note the suggestive title of this photo.

Another famous example of erotica, which dates back to thousands of years ago, is a drawing from the Papyrus of Tameniu depicting an erotic scene of a well-known Egyptian myth.

An illustration of the Sky Goddess Nut bending over the Earth God Geb

The artwork details of the story between the Sky Goddess Nut and the Earth God Geb, portrayed as passionate lovers. During the day they are separated by the Air God Shu, the god of air but at night, Nut comes down to earth to make love to Geb.

Their union, however, angered Nut’s husband, the Sun God Re, and permanently separated the two previously joined bodies in one night. This, according to the myth, resulted in the permanent separation of the earth from the sky.

Even other films use the concept of erotica to get away from being classified as “pornographic.”
