Hello Maria xx A poem by John Keats entitled " Bright Star " On one level you might think it is about Keats love of the natural world butgiven the background, he uses mainly symbolism to describe his infatuation and erotic thoughts for a woman ( unknown ) I was lucky enough to have an English Master who opened my eyes to this when I was doing A level literature and the discovery of the the true meaning of the piece, was mind-blowing. " The Rainbow " by D H Lawrence ( the prequel of " Women in Love " I also found to be very erotic,much more so than Lady Chatterley's lover.
As far as art is concerned,what can be more erotic than the black and white pen drawings of Aubrey Beardsley? I also found the painting " An Odalisque reclining on a Divan " by Delacroix to be very sexy in the extreme ,but on reflection that was probably due to the fact that the subject reminded my strongly of a lady for whom I had an insatiable lust!

Delta of Venus by Anais Nin, a collection of short stories that cover just about every kink, first published way back in '69

Great choices Fetch, I love the poem 'Bright Star' too. I must confess that I had to search the art references, very intriguing stuff. ImogenM I have heard of 'Delta of Venus' but I have never read the collection. I shall investigate. Same with your suggestions Garryandkerry :-)

Enid Blyton's Noddy in Toy Town has always been a favourite of mine.
All those secret romps in the woods with Mr Plod and Tessie Bear and let's not forget how Big Ears got his nickname ... shocking!
Keep a copy on the top shelf of the bookcase, well away from the children :-)

Fail. Fail fail fail. I started the first shades of grey as we took it in book club. One member ADORED it and recommended it as an eye opener. I made it to the first sex scene (as i felt i had to) but didn't mention that i'd heard better sex scenes online (despite the fact that I don't to sex chat!).

I have yet to find Eroitca that doesn't make me think....DAMN, I could do better.

Luv2 (and any other interested party) :

This is a totally true story (really!):
One of my earliest childhood memories is being traumatized by a Noddy book. I forget which particular one it was, but it was read to me by my mother while I sat on her knee looking at the pictures (maybe when I was about 2 or 3). There was a particular page in the book that triggered alarm bells because I knew that when my Mum turned over to the next page, a horrific and frightening scenario would unfold, and therefore - as my pulse quickened and my eyes widened - I would reach out and touch her wrist to prevent her turning the page.....

Noddy was driving through the Dark, Dark Wood on his way to Big Ears' house.....when suddenly he was ambushed by a group of about 5-6 golliwogs (I know that is non-PC these days, but please bear with me for the purposes of this tale). They dragged him out of the car (which of course was open-topped), stripped off all his clothes, and disappeared with the car and all of Noddy's belongings. Noddy was then forced to crawl naked, tearfully (and I remember the tears) to Big Ears' place, the moonlight reflecting off his naked little buttocks......

I often wonder whether this triggered some sort of atavistic awareness within me. It was certainly scary to me at the time, and yet I was grimly fascinated. The very fact I can remember it clearly after many decades indicates the impact it had on me. It may seem laughable through adult eyes, but even this colorful and possibly trifling episode from my own childhood has made me realize just how sensitive children are to any kind of abnormality during their upbringing. Who knows.....? It might even lie at the basis of why I'm on this site (muffled laughter.....).

My first ever Blyton read was 'Five Have Plenty of Fun' where Dick and Fanny get lost in a secret passage.
I kid you not ...

I always preferred The Comic Strip Presents versions :-)

.........er.........thank you for your profound input.

Sexiest thing i have read is the communications between me and my partner when he was overseas working and we were sending one another insane with all the commentary about what we were fantasizing about doing to one another... it got rather steamy and we learnt so much about one another in the process... our deepest and darkest thoughts came out wow x

I wonder if the repeated...img src="imagesadultemoticons030.gif" 's have anything to do with Parkinson's Law of work expanding to fill the available space ? I seem to remember touching on it at school...and the memory " Kinda Lingers "

"emoji".....another Japanese word to have entered the English vocab, along with "karaoke", "shibari" and "bukkake" :-)
