Internal conflict
Um einen inneren Konflikt zu beschreiben, kannst du körperliche Signale ebenso heranziehen wie geistige, emotionale oder kognitive Reaktionen. Wir spielen das an einem Beispiel durch.
We analyse texts from the fields of fiction and non-fiction and think about how high-quality eroticism can look today. We have no patent remedies, but put our thoughts and convictions on erotic literature on paper.
We regard the texts presented here as “work in progress”, which are constantly being expanded and updated as soon as we find new, exciting examples or topics. Ideally, over time this will create a pool of ideas for erotic literature for all those who write themselves.

Pierre Louÿs (1870-1925) was a French writer and poet who played an important role in the development of French erotic literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was known for his highly sensual and decadent style, and his works often explored themes of sexual desire, taboo, and pleasure. Louÿs first gained notoriety … Continue reading Louÿs’s role in French eroticism
There are many examples of descriptions of pubic hair in literature, both contemporary and historical. One well-known example is from the classic novel “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” by D.H. Lawrence. In the book, the protagonist describes his lover’s pubic hair as “thick and dark,” a description that emphasizes the physicality and sensuality of the female body. … Continue reading Pubic hair in literature
The role of pubic hair in history since 1970 from a feminist perspective has been a topic of debate and discussion. Feminists have looked at pubic hair as a symbol of women’s liberation, a way to challenge patriarchal beauty standards, and a tool for reclaiming control over women’s bodies. In the 1970s, the feminist movement … Continue reading Pubic hair and feminism
Those familiar with our blog (and our books) know that we are fans of graphic and explicit descriptions. Our job as authors is to create images in your mind as you read. And in the best case, those should stick around for a long time. I’m currently reading the story “Shaved Bare” by Gale London. … Continue reading Pubic Hair
Actually, I wanted to write something about different foot shapes for a long time. Somehow I found that then again completely unimportant. Who is interested in whether he has a Celtic, a Greek or an Egyptian foot? Until I came across the novel “The fault is in our stars” by John Green. Hazel, the protagonist, … Continue reading Greek Feet
Similar to the FEMEN activists, the members of the “Free the Nipple” campaign often use their naked torsos as banners. Yet their goals are not nearly as diverse. Nor have they chosen the entire patriarchy as their adversary, but are working on one question: “Why are men allowed to show their naked torsos in public … Continue reading NAKED IN PUBLIC 3: Free the Nipple Campaign
On March 11, 2013, Tunisian Amina Sbouï published a bare-chested self-portrait on her Facebook page. “My body belongs to me and is not the source of anyone’s honor,” she had written on her naked torso. In doing so, she sparked a furious controversy in Islamic-led Tunisia. She received death threats. A Salafist preacher publicly called … Continue reading Naked in Public 2: Nakedness as a form of protest (FEMEN)
Showing yourself naked in public sounds wilder than it actually is. In Germany, the beginnings of the so-called naturism culture date back to the end of the 19th century. Even then, nudity had an air of rebellion about it. The German Empire was an extremely prudish, reactionary time in which the body had to be … Continue reading Naked in Public 1 – Nudism
In the sorority folder we got when we moved into the villa, there are three pages of justifications for barefoot running alone, divided into medical, aesthetic and spiritual arguments. Barefoot running is supposed to increase one’s energy level, provide for faster muscle regeneration, alleviate menstrual problems, and so on. We have to memorize it all. … Continue reading Barefoot culture
