Erotica in black and white.

The expression “sexual elegance” came in to the conversation recently and it reminded me  of what, to me certainly, is important in erotica and in one’s personal fantasies. We can all be turned on by so may different things, often by some unexpected stimulus, but if that stimulus has a hint of surrealism and a dream like quality to it, then, speaking as a sensualist, I find that it  is far more likely to stroke the tender parts of my imagination. Just as when we are being seduced, soft candle light and soothing words are as important a part of the experience along with the delicate touch of lips and hands.

When it comes to visual erotica, I find that black and white images are more likely to have that elegance to them and I thought I would give you a small handful of such images.  I have to say however that when I stared on this exercise, the problem was what I should leave out.

Let’s start with this beautiful tethered nude.

She has a beautiful serenity about her that I really love. Naked save for a few skimpy items designed to eroticise rather than protect her body, she is tied and helpless, but in a mood of quiet acceptance. Whatever pleasure of punishment that will be visited on her smooth elegant body it will not disturb her dignity. She was born to give and receive erotic pleasure to herself and others, and each time I look at this picture it reminds me why I decided to devote so much of my time and energy to sex.

What about this girl in a narrow corridor, a hotel by the look of it.

She is completely naked save for the high heels that eroticise her legs, but she is dangling a long black evening dress so that somehow she has the all glamour of someone attending an expensive and exclusive function but has all the sexuality of the nude. What is she doing here, and why is her head stretched back as if in sexual ecstasy? It’s all down to our own imaginations.

And here, almost as a companion piece is, yes, another female in a hotel corridor.

Fully dressed this time but we can see more of her face and she’s  beautiful. More than that, her features are contorted with sexual pleasure as she’s in some private world of her own and  she’s masturbating. If ever there was a visual personification of someone in their own Ivory Tower, this could be it.  

And what about this one, very simple this time,

a very beautiful girl, completely naked save for a simple gossamer drape that suggests and scarcely hides her lower body. It leaves us the viewer with the overwhelming urge  to slide it down over her thighs and expose the whole of her before planting kisses on the newly available flesh. Just thinking about this, I can feel the shimmer  and hear the hiss as it slips down and away

What next?

A young couple engaged in sexual ballet, their backs arched and their bodies curved like sea horses against each other. This has a dreamy softness to it, notwithstanding that the man’s  penis is tight and erect, pressed tightly against the  girl’s sex by her eager fingers. Explicit , oh yes, no question about that, but its elegance stops it from being distasteful in any way.

And lastly, a little different this time, a glowing nude being quietly spanked across the knee of some ghostly male.

This is like a dream sequence, as if the girl had been spirited way to some weird other world to be punished for sins that even now she is unable to understand. It is easy to feel the kiss of his hand against her bare and shimmering flesh, and equally to imagine the disembodied arousal of their later congress.

I suspect that a lot of you have  favourite back and white images. If you want to send me the links I would be happy to take my time looking at them.
