Don't have an account? This essay argues that erotic art is art which aims to engage viewers sexually through explicit sexual content, and succeeds to some extent in doing so.

Why then in evoking your memory do I vibrate like a bell announcing the nuptials of angels? Slowly dying of an ineffable love inspired in me by your splendid gaze met by chance at the Potsdam encounter in You were sparkling from head to toe, deified by the sublime beaming of your dear face.

And what a relaxing trip it was!!
Makes some hot, makes other annoyed.
