Summary : El uso y la aceptación de las imágenes eróticas ha variado con respecto a la época y la civilización que las empleara. Estas tendencias, por su parte, se ven reflejadas en las imágenes mismas y se pueden observar desde estatuas antiguas dedicadas a la fertilidad hasta grabados renacentistas cuyo objetivo era estimular la procreación dentro del matrimonio. Sea como fuere, el arte erótico siempre ha ocupado un lugar importante en la sociedad. En este libro, por primera vez, confluyen 1000 imágenes auténticas de arte erótico que abarcan siglos y civilizaciones con el objetivo de demonstrar la evolución del género. En una era como la nuestra en que la erótica abunda particularmente en publicidad y en los medios de comunicación, esta obra presenta una visión refrescante de los antecedentes de la imaginería erótica y hace hincapié en el valor artístico de las bellas obras de arte erótico ejecutadas con destreza.

Summary : Why do some people seem to lead charmed lives? They are attractive, but also lively, friendly and charismatic. People want to be around them. Doors open for them. The answer, this book shows, is in the power of erotic capital - the overlooked human asset that is at the heart of how we work, interact, make money, succeed and conduct our relationships. Catherine Hakim's groundbreaking book reveals how erotic capital is just as influential in life as how rich, clever, educated or well-connected we are. Drawing on hard evidence, she illustrates how this potent force develops from an early age, with attractive children assumed to be intelligent, competent and good. She examines how women and men learn to exploit it throughout their lives, how it differs across cultures and how it affects all spheres of activity, from dating and mating to politics, business, film, music , the arts and sport. She also explores why erotic capital is growing in importance in today's highly sexualised culture and yet, ironically, as a 'feminine' virtue, remains sidelined. Honey Money is a call for us to recognize the economic and social value of erotic capital, and truly acknowledge beauty and pleasure. This will not only change the role of women in society, getting them a better deal in both public and private life - it could also revolutionize our power structures, big business, the sex industry, government, marriage, education and almost everything we do.

Summary : From Michelangelo to Rubens, Degas and Picasso, erotic art has attracted many great masters, who created works that captivate the beholder like few others. In spite of, or maybe even because of, this attraction, erotic art has never failed to evoke controversy, and regularly had to defend itself from charges of pornography. This book guides readers from early portrayals of erotic scenes produced in the 16th and 17th centuries, to contemporary highlights such as Picasso’s sketchbook drawings, encompassing a large variety of styles and techniques.

Summary : The ancient Greeks and Romans considered it degrading to both parties yet depicted it prolifically in art and literature. The Early Christian Church called it "the worst evil," punishable by seven years of penance and fasting (murder was one year). Nearly all of the 13 original American colonies had laws against it--except Georgia. A Victorian handbook for young brides advised how to "dampen his desire to kiss in forbidden territory." Attitudes about oral sex have varied through the centuries and across cultures--a death sentence in some nations, a religious practice in others. This book explores its history as well as its impact on world events.
