I think erotic art is for lovers, the blended soul looking outward and finding images which open doors onto inward but unfamiliar territory. Erotic art is for people exploring imagery and ideas that challenge their own ideas of who they are and what they feel. Ideas can take them places they’ve never been. The images of sexuality; the physical acts; the cocks, cunts, leather, lust; the belts on thighs, ropes in cracks - all are just window dressing in the absence of lovers’ confluence. But together, they can grasp the ideas and fall into an erotic dance, spiraling deep into a secret world known to them alone.

Lovers’ minds meet through the contact of looks and words, aware of an internal physical force relentlessly driving their engagement. When they look at this art, observing these vignettes of physicality, this public titillation turns their eyes sideways to where intimacy conspires.”
