    The Erotic Ronald de Sousa and Arina Pismenny [Penultimate version of chapter (in English) in J. Deonna and E. Tieffenbach (ed.) A Small Treatise on Values (Petit Traité des Valeurs). Paris: Editions d’Ithaque. Consult published version to quote.] Nowadays, the erotic is everywhere: the term is applied to works of art, advertising, clothing, gestures, and many other things. It is not, however, always used appropriately. The erotic, for example, is sometimes confused with what triggers sexual arousal. Causing sexual arousal is not sufficient, however, because direct stimulation, by genital friction or brain probe, would not plausibly be called erotic. Neither is it necessary: for just as one may understand why something is funny without being moved to laughter, so one might perceive that something is erotic without experiencing any arousal. What, then, is the erotic, and in what sense can one say that it is a value? The erotic, value, and teleology Is the erotic a value? Or does it have value? If something is a value, its presence can confer some degree of importance on other things. If it has a value, then its benefits derive ultimately from some characteristic which itself has intrinsic value. What nobody cares or could care about is necessarily devoid of it; thus, in order to understand the erotic as a value, we must understand to what states of mind and to what mechanism it is linked, as well as how we care about it and for what reason. Although the erotic cannot be identified with either arousal or desire, the three are evidently linked.

  • List of Paraphilias
    List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia

    The Journal of ECOSEX RESEARCH Vol. 1, Issue 1 Featuring Elizabeth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle’s EcoSex Manifesto, Coming Out Stories, and SexEcological Research The Journal of ECOSEX RESEARCH Vol. 1, Issue 1 Featuring Elizabeth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle Special Guest Editor, Amy Marsh, DHS, ACS, CHt “Our lives changed forever, for the better, when we married the Earth in the summer of 2008. Artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña was our “high Aztec priest.” Four hundred people attended our wedding in the Shakespeare Glen in Santa Cruz, Ca. Most took vows to “love, honor and cherish the Earth along with us.” Suddenly our love grew to Universal proportions, and we started caring a lot more about environmental issues.” 4 Design by Veronica Van Gogh, Drawing by Dalia Anani, Special thanks to Jenny Hubbard 5 6 ECOSEX MANIFESTO (i) WE ARE THE ECOSEXUALS. The Earth is our lover. We are madly, passionately, and fiercely in love, and we are grateful for this relationship each and every day. In order to create a more mutual and sustainable relationship with the Earth, we collaborate with nature. We treat the Earth with kindness, respect and affection. (ii) WE MAKE LOVE WITH THE EARTH. We are aquaphiles, teraphiles, pyrophiles and aerophiles. We shamelessly hug trees, massage the earth with our feet, and talk erotically to plants. We are skinny dippers, sun worshipers, and stargazers. We caress rocks, are pleasured by waterfalls, and admire the Earth’s curves often. We make love with the Earth through our senses. We celebrate our E-spots. We are very dirty. (iii) WE ARE A RAPIDLY GROWING, GLOBAL, ECOSEX COMMUNITY.

  • And Winery!), Tool’S Maynard James Keenan Wants to Be Nothing Less Than a One-Man Brand
    He’s the genitalia- obsessed frontman for one of rock’s most successful bands. But with his new side project (and winery!), Tool’s Maynard James Keenan wants to be nothing less than a one-man brand. “Welcome to Arizona.” Maynard James Keenan groans it more than speaks it, a strangulated thanksforcomingdude made even less robust by body language: He has his back turned and is rushing ten feet ahead of me through the fertile arbor of the Page Springs Vineyard & Cellars. ❦ It’s noon and a brainpan-frying 95 degrees here in northern Arizona’s Verde Valley—in Keenan’s mind a natural time to have just biked the 15 miles from his home to this verdant wine-making paradise. As he presses on, he clutches a bottle of water in one hand and an iced chai in the other. Both drinks are for him. ❦ But what the notoriously reclusive rock star seems incapable of exuding in warmth, he repays in splendor, by leading me onto a deck that suspends, spectacularly, over the languid waters of Oak Creek.
