I like the photography. I gather you are referring to a book. I may check this out, when I have a bit more time. At the moment, I am pretty focused on home remodel projects Wednesday they come to install two new furnaces. "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"

The art of Photography has many forms of expression but directing the eye of the viewer is fundamental to all. Very nice examples of this principle. Thanks, Ex.

visually moving !

lovely art! though i might quibble a bit with the "human body not innately sexual" pov of the artist. e.g. a simple glance and flash of the eye can be thrillingly sexual even in the most mundane place.

Again, Ex, you’ve graced us with a most interesting blog that is rich food for thought. What I find particularly amazing from a broad and generalized perspective), is how certain objective items– objective, in that they have (or had, originally,) their humanly- manufactured/-created/- inspired and artifactual real world instantiation or materiality…their freeze frames on an actual brief moment in time’s inexorable march– are almost always perceived or apprehended second hand, as reproductions, whether they be photos in an art book or online, perhaps in a blog; a piece of music (the most liquid of art forms) listened to on a disk, tape, radio, or LP record; a theatrical/casted enactment stored on film for multiple viewings; etc. .Some items, of course, can, if one is so lucky, be viewed or apprehended in their original instantiation, such as a painting (on its framed canvas) in a museum; a pristine, yet- to-be- copied/-reproduced photo viewed (in one’s hand) immediately after it is developed; a piece of music heard live in its first introduction to the world, etc., though I am more concerned with artistic reproduction in my comments. I would add that even the strung-together, series of objective words that one reads across the page (from left to right, and ever downward) of a novel, poem, play or film script, has the capacity, like those other above-mentioned objective reproductions , such as an online photo, whether it be abstract or highly representational, to inexplicably, indescribably, miraculously, by virtue of their unmistakable objectivity, be able somehow to stir up or perhaps, if you will, morph or transmute into, a host of teeming subjectivities, which all seem to coalesce into the feelings and sensory impressions concerned almost exclusively and categorically with our MEMORIES and our DESIRES, not either of which need be sexual, though they often are; moreover, they need not have ANYTHING to do with the original artist’s own motivational memories and desires (whether he or she is or was a photographer, painter, writer, music composer/ arranger/even, lyricist, etc.) In any event, and I think you would agree with me, that this strange, but wonderful, process or “alchemy” is one of the most profoundly significant ones that will serve to shape and define our lives. I once heard this inciting and subjectivizing process,regarding memory & desire, described (in a literature class) as “the book that the reader brings to the book he is reading.” I guess it all boils down to a curious blending together of what we had…and what we still want.

Interesting photos. I've always loved photography, but with regard to erotic photography I've always gone for the more realistic side, more than the 'arty' side like these. Some people think if you are interested in erotic photography you must be a 'dirty old man', yeah... OK, maybe guilty as charged, but I must once have been a 'dirty young man'. LOL. I am distantly related to an artist, not a name most people would know, but many art galleries in the UK have at least one of his paintings, & three hang in the houses of parliment. Regrettably, I don't have the skill to capture things using pencil & paper, or paint. So I guess I try to pursue my artistic desires as best I can. The artist I refer to was a working artist, so he did everything from portraits to landscapes. However he was also well known for his 'woodland nymphs', (a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers, woods, or other locations). Basicly young women running around the woods naked, apart from some see through chiffon draped around them. You know, as young women are known to do!!! LOL.

Just a comment, by way of an afterthought, Ex. (Thanks, by the way, for your earlier reply to my own wordy comments on this topic) Anyway, I find your opening statement, “I believe that the human body is not innately sexual,”.to be somewhat arguable. It is so often said by, among others, child psychologists,including Freud, that a baby–an infant–is polymorphously perverse. Here’s a quotation that helps to explain that phrase: “POLYMORPHOUS PERVERSITY : The ability to find erotic pleasure out of any part of the body. According to Freud, a young child is, by nature, "polymorphously perverse" (Introductory Lecturs 15.209), which is to say that, before education in the conventions of civilized society, a child will turn to various bodily parts for sexual gratification and will not obey the rules that in adults determine perverse behavior. Education however quickly suppresses the polymorphous possibilities for sexual gratification in the child, eventually leading, through repression, to an amnesia about such primitive desires. Some adults retain such polymorphous perversity, according to Freud. I think there is some truth to this. An infant will suck, lick, touch ANYTHING. He will explore everything, everyone, and himself. He will establish his close connections to people–certainly to his mother’s body–and is basically devoid of any kind of prejudice. He seems to want to love everything and everyone he comes into contact with. He will touch and kiss indiscriminately. As the child matures, however, and falls prey to the constraints of civilized society, he gradually learns to sublimate those polymorphously perverse urges–a kind of unbridled amd indiscriminate “sexuality,” if you will, and to channel them into a more selective and socially/ societally acceptable way, for the most part. I do share, though, without question or reservation, your belief , as it is concretized in the second statement of your blog post , by the following words: “ I also believe our sexual energy to be extremely powerful, freeing, and healing.”

Sorry, Ex, for wrongly attributing Sara Punt's words and beliefs to YOU. I failed to notice the opening quotation marks in front of CHARMED... I erroneously let certain phrases convince me these were your words--phrases such as "...as I'm actively healing that part of myself." and "...as I strive to honor that side of my own journey..." Somehow I was led to believe that "this highly intimate and personaL series" was the commencement of an undertaking of your own. Again, I apologize, Ex, for my carelessness.
