Much sexier than plastic porn?


These illustrations, by Gerda Wegener, are from her book 'Les Délassements d'Eros'. They are so much fun, so much more stylish than bleached blond, artificially inflated porn.
They are from the Erotic museum in Berlin, where I also saw illustrations by Louis Berthommé Saint-André from 'La Folle Journée de Gaby d'Ombreuse', some beautiful lithographs, very sexy and very French.
The Erotic Museum gave me the overwhelming feeling that:

  • Sex isn't fun for girls
  • Mens' brains are in their cocks

This is unfortunate, as the museum was started by 'sex-icon' Beate Uhse to dispel the taboos surrounding sex. The plastic pink decor, soft porn music and occasional cheesy waxwork are still a definite middle-aged men-in-macspuller.
