We
have a unique gallery of Evolutionary Philosophy of Love, Sex, and Human
Sexuality quotes printed on Renaissance & Impressionist Erotic Art Nudes
and Vintage Erotica. These are our favourite sexy' pictures / portraits
and quotes that we have collected over the past 5 years.
Our central point, which relates to our use of sexuality images and quotes
in this shop, is that we have evolved primitive sexual instincts, some of
which are constrained by our cultural knowledge and customs (which change
over time). Our view (which applies to feminism) is that we should obviously
cultivate both our mind and body, but founded on good knowledge of our evolution
to create greater harmony between our instincts and our customs. As Freud
wrote, sex is central to our existence, and thus central to to our cultivation
as complete human beings.
Analyse any human emotion, no matter how far it may be removed from the sphere of sex, and you are sure to discover somewhere the primal impulse, to which life owes its perpetuation. ... The primitive stages can always be re-established; the primitive mind is, in the fullest meaning of the word, imperishable. ... Mans most disagreeable habits and idiosyncrasies, his deceit, his cowardice, his lack of reverence, are engendered by his incomplete adjustment to a complicated civilisation. It is the result of the conflict between our instincts and our culture. (Sigmund Freud)
Anyway, enough polemic, we hope you find our selection of
beautiful minds and sensual bodies creative / artistic, intelligent, thought
provoking and perhaps even a little provocative!.
Cheers!
