This Bacchante has just discovered precisely why the wild woods and windswept islands in which she takes such joy remain so wild and windswept. It’s not that she hasn’t been hoping to meet this legendary satyr, she just didn’t expect that there would be quite so much of him:

The artist is said to be Jean Jouy.

I don’t mind admitting that one consequence of having looked at a lot of erotic art is that you start to notice less-relevant details. For instance, the sex these two are having could be happening on any comfortable surface, but in fact it’s happening on a rather fancy sole-purpose sex couch. Check out the phallic couch legs and the not-very-discreet shackles for kinky fun affixed to the ends of the arms:

The artist is Le Roy, from a 1935 book called Nunnery Tales.

There’s really not so very much to object to regarding this advice on kissing in the Louisville Weekly Courier from 1856, even if it does come from a preacher. Allowances must be made for different times I suppose, so he’s allowed the one cryptic admonition about excluding “soul” from the proceedings:

The Rev. Sidney Smith once said, in writing of kissing: “We are in favor of a certain amount of shyness when a kiss is proposed, but it should not be continued too long; and when the fair one gives it, let it be administered with warmth and energy. Let there be no soul in it. If she close her eyes and sigh deeply immediately after it, the effect is greater. She should be careful not to slabber a kiss, but give it as a humming bird runs his bill into a honeysuckle — deep but delicate. There is much virtue in a kiss, when well delivered. We have had the memory of one we received in our youth, which has lasted us forty years, and we believe it will be one of the last things we will think of when we die.”
For a man who admits to being badly out of practice, he seems to have retained a solid grasp of the basic principles!

Yes, this pussy has teeth. But it’s less of an issue than you would think:

The photo is another hundred-year-old gem from that recently-blogged-about Four Bacchantes photoshoot by Jules Richard.

This is basically how I imagine things would be at your typical Wednesday-evening cocktail party among the cool British sex blogger set, the sort of thing that Blake and/or Girl On The Net might be seen at:

It’s actually another piece of art by Phillipe Bertrand from the February 1984 issue of Newlook magazine.

Some things are worth, in the immortal words of Bill Moyers, remobilizing your axioms for:

The caption reads: “You realise, don’t you, that this means turning my back on everything I believe as an ichthyologist?”
The cartoon is from the May 1963 issue of Adam.

A chance retweeted photo caught my eye and stimulated my curiousity this morning and sent me down a rabbit hole of provenance research.

By the time I surfaced, I had discovered this rather astonishing photo shoot from 100 years ago. It’s said to be by Jules Richard, who is best known for the invention of the portable VĂ©rascope stereocamera, but also quite well known for his erotic photography work.

Sometime between 1908 and 1910 (if the provenance information is correct) he assembled the four lovely models we are enjoying in today’s post at a museum-quality mansion (or a really-persuasive photo studio) for a classically-themed erotic photo shoot.



A bust of my namesake Bacchus supervised the entire thing with beaming avuncular approval:
