The marketing of porn tells us as much about ourselves as the pictures. I have been so transfixed by this woman's face that I hardly noticed the word "dirty" across the lower right, and when I did almost laughed. Dirty is appealing to people who feel erotic shame: shame that is experienced erotically. At this point in the history of consciousness, that's most of us, and exploring guilt, shame and embarrassment are among the hottest playlands we have available. If you want to try it, be prepared for an unusually vulnerable and cathartic experience, where you begin to sort out some of the differences between pleasure and pain. The man in this image has just ejaculated on the woman's breasts and neck (called a pearl necklace). Masturbating over her, the implication is that he is satisfied and she is not. The erotic gesture is power/submission. He kneels or stands above her; she is looking at his eyes with an expression that mixes yearning, pleasure and fascination. Some might mistakenly use the word "subservient" to describe her demeanor, but to me she appears to be aware, willing and very much in her power. [Electronic rendering by Eric.] |
