Naked Men : Pioneering Male Nudes 1935-1955


David Leddick - 1997
    Long before Stonewall and the gay pride movement, there was a small group of daring men--both photographers and the models who sat for them--who helped pave the way for male sexual liberation. Led by the photographer George Platt Lynes, the painter Paul Cadmus, and the arts patron Lincoln Kirstein, this group shattered taboos surrounding the artistic presentation of the male figure. The young subjects of these photographs--who often posed after-hours in studios officially used for fashion shoots--were in essence the first true male models. In a perfect complement to the intimacy of these early nudes, photographs are included of these men today. The pictures and stories in "Naked Men" are as relevant and evocative today as they were a half a century ago.

Cutting across the conventional categories of style and period, this guide offers a fresh, engrossing vision of Victorian art and culture unmatched anywhere else.• Beautifully produced and full of breathtaking artwork• Nudes are perennially popular with art lovers• Book serves as a catalog for a traveling exhibition from the prestigious Tate Gallery that will visit several US museums, beginning with the Brooklyn Museum in September 2002

The Libertine Reader: Eroticism and Enlightenment in Eighteenth-Century France


Michel FeherChantal Thomas - 1997
    Obsessed with strategies of seduction, endlessly speculating about the motives and goals of lovers, the idle aristocrats who populate these novels are exclusively preoccupied with their erotic lives. Deprived of other battlefields in which to fulfill their thirst for glory, libertine noblemen seek to conquer the women of their class without falling into the trap of love, while their female prey attempt to enjoy the pleasures of love without sacrificing their honor. Yet, in spite of the licentious mores of the declining Old Regime, men and women are still expected to pay lip service to an austere code of morals. Asked to constantly denounce their own practices, they find that their erotic war games are thus governed by a double constraint: whatever they feel or intend, the heroes of libertine literature can neither say what they mean nor mean what they say.The Libertine Reader includes all the varieties of libertine strategies: from the successful cunning of Mme de T- in Denon's No Tomorrow to the ill-fated genius of Mme Merteuil in Laclos's Dangerous Liaisons; from the laborious sentimental education of Meilcour in Cr�billon fils's Wayward Head and Heart to the hazardous master plan of the French ambassador in Pr�vost's The Story of a Modern Greek Woman. The discrepancies between the characters' words and their true intentions -- the libertine double entendre -- are exposed through the speaking vaginas in Diderot's Indiscreet Jewels and the wandering soul of Amanzei in Cr�billon fils's Sofa, while the contrasts between natural and civilized -- or degenerate -- erotics are the subjects of both Diderot's Supplement to Bougainville's Voyage and Laclos's On the Education of Women. Finally, Sade's Florville and Courval shows that destiny itself is on the side of libertinism.

Tabitha's Tickle


Robin Wilde - 1997
    “That’s a great name for you. Would you like to be our mascot?” The torture of embarrassment and arousal had overloaded his blushing mechanism and he was permanently red, but the thought of being a cheerleading mascot sent his cock into a dangerous lurch. To his utter amazement, Susan looked boldly down at his lap, reached over and gave his cock a firm squeeze. Sharon just looked on in amusement; to his surprise she patted him on the arm and laughed. “He’d be your mascot any time, wouldn’t you, Bobby?”“Yeah, Woody,” Susan whispered in a mock bedroom voice. “Why don’t you be our mascot?” Bobby glanced over at Sharon, who simply patted his red face. “Just enjoy yourself,” she smiled. “You’re at Valentine College now.”He didn’t understand her lack of possessiveness; although his cheerleader fetish was a running joke, she wanted him to confine himself to “look, but don’t touch.” Susan’s hand now rested on his bare thigh, inches from the swollen tip of his shaft. He glanced down and was suddenly aware of a growing wet spot, sign of his leaking arousal, on his shorts. This was some sort of tease, some sort of trick, and Sharon was in on it. He was still embarrassed, still a little bit humiliated, but if it wasn’t upsetting Sharon he realized he’d just have to deal with it...and it was very sexy. Susan’s perfume, sweet and slightly musky, filled his nostrils. Miles of bare girl-leg were visible on each side of him; scantily-clad coeds were paying attention to him. There was probably some hidden trick, but how bad could it be?Both Sharon and Susan snuggled with Bobby. Feeling like king of the world, he draped an arm around each girl. They didn’t seem to mind. Susan’s hand crawled up his leg and up over his shirt, rubbing gently. He gave up worrying about his hardon until Susan found his nipple under his T-shirt. He had excruciatingly sensitive nipples that were tied directly into his cock and he moaned as she flicked her fingernail over the hard nub. Susan grinned at Sharon, who immediately attacked his other nipple. The erotic overload was too much; it began to tickle.He tried to squirm away as the fingers tickled his nipples and his face returned to its beet-red condition, but Susan wouldn’t let him.“Are you ticklish?” she asked with surprised glee.
