Erotic Literature

Human sexuality has always been discussed and illustrated in all forms of human thinking and art. Sexually explicit imagery is to be found since the beginning of time, and several types of it. As a friend once put it: what do you think is the difference between an anatomic picture, a nude painting, and a picture in Playboy/Hustler?
Sexually explicit paintings, photographs, literature, etc. of all times can be good, bordering art, or can be bad, bordering the most imbecile pornography. Or... I don't know... what is the opposite of art? I like art, even if its subject, at times, is sexuality. Being prudish never helped anyone, as far as I know. A larger discussion of sexuality and its limitations by what, who and why will appear in here when I shall fell like elaborating on the subject. For the time being, though, I'd like to share a link to wonderful erotic literature, written by Anais Nin:

I suggest you do not visit this link if you are offended by explicit sexual imagery or if you are under the age of 18. Then again, it's only a suggestion... :)
