What IS Eroticism
What IS Eroticism, and WHY ?
Simply, eroticism is that which is painted, written, presented or said with respect and dignity. Eroticism and pornography can be equally raw, BUT porno completely disregards respect and dignity. No image or text presented with respect and dignity is profane. The white light seen through a prism displays all the colors of the spectrum. Erotic art and writing is the prism that sets eroticism free for us to see all. In today's society, most are embarrassed by open eroticism. Most religions condemn eroticism, treating it as if it were obscene. In fact eroticsm, which is a natural healthy aspect of love and romance is less acceptable than violence. Then I wonder, how civilized are we today? It's as though society is afraid of it. If it is so obvious to society to condem, then what actually is it? Simply put, erotic art and writing is the imagination bringing the want, the desire, and the choosing to light. What I have a real problem understanding is how society can easily accept violence and say that normal people will not get violent by exposure to it, yet in the same voices say that eroticism will lead normal people to rape, child molestation, incest and more. How can any civilized society bless violence and condemn that what nature has blessed us with?
============================================================
Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet
they hide not the unbeautiful.
And though you seek in garments the freedom
of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.
Would that you could meet the sun and the
wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment,
For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the
hand of life is in the wind.
Forget not that modesty is for a shield against
the eye of the unclean.
And when the unclean shall be no more, what
were modesty but a fetter and a fouling of the mind?
And forget not that the earth delights to feel
your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
