“[The erotic] has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling."
Audre Lorde
On the EroticContrary to the watered-down definitions that we are given in modern society, eroticism is so much more than sexual or kinky activity.
The Erotic is a concept that cannot be adequately summarized in any dictionary or wikipedia page. This is because the essence of the erotic is as seeped with mystery as life is seeped with the erotic—or so it seems. In simple terms, Erotic energy is creative life force energy—which can be cultivated, harnessed, and directed. Eroticism is one's capacity for maintaining vitality and aliveness; the ability to transform sexuality into something that is creative and imaginative; the life-giving force that lives in our bodies—the very force that is shamed, suppressed and oppressed within the cultural constructs many of us find ourselves in. Eroticism is the cure to numbness. It is our capacity to impact and be impacted by the world. It is our capacity to be in relationship with everything around us. |
