F*** Room, or recrotica
To understand what erotica is, you first must think of eroticism, of Eros, the primordial
god of unhinged sexual desire. But more than mythology, eroticism is defined by Greek
philosophy. In the Platonic system of ideal forms, eros corresponds to one's yearning for
ideal beauty and finality. It is the harmonious unification not only between bodies, but
between knowledge and pleasure. Eros takes an almost transcendent manifestation when one
seeks to go beyond oneself and form a communion with another person, the objectival other.*
Erotica, then, are works of art, including literature, photography, film, sculpture and
painting, that deal substantively with eroticism, exploring that harmonious unification and
transcendent manifestation of communing with another. Erotica is rather a modern word used to
describe the portrayal of human sensuality and sexuality with high-art aspirations.**
Erotica is art and literature that embodies the feeling you get when you breathe a little
harder imagining a touch, a sultry voice, remembering the dream where you didn't kiss but
almost let your mouths rest against each other before turning away, lightly brushing your
lips along the jaw line, breathing into the neck; you feel someone's mouth on your body,
someone's skin under your hand, that burning want to feel them inside you, to encase them
in your arms; you watch someone across the room and imagine them naked, watching you,
making you shift in your chair as the warmth between your thighs grows and your mouth gets
dry and suddenly you can feel every inch of skin on your own body tingling and waiting and
wanting, and the blood pounds in your head and in other places and somehow you express this
without a word, with only a quick glance through batted eyelashes, looking up then away then
back up again, mouth opened slightly, so that when the looks connect there is barely enough
time to grab your coats, to pay your tab and hail a cab to take you home to the warm,
groping darkness of your bedroom floor or kitchen or shower or bed and then-
Experience the foreplay of rec room as we present f*** room, a night of recrotica
exploring the sensual and sexual, the attractions of the mind and body and the frank physicality
of sex.
