Hey all. I've been set an essay to choose an image between 1827-1915. I'm looking for any erotica/nude between these years. I then need to choose 2 images from the last 25 years to contextualize the first one with My main annoyance is that the books i have found online are not in my uni library, i think i will try to request them but will hope i wont get any funny looks! I ideally wanted to do something along the line of the history of BDSM but these resources are thin on the ground. any suggestions welcome! | |

The Pillow Book or A History of naughty Pictures, by Paul Gerhard from Words and Pictures Limited might be a good source. I don't think 'BDSM' was a separated from 'sex' the way it is now so that might be why it's tricky to find books covering the 'history of bdsm'. From what I know these things either came under crime (like in the case of Vlad Tepes), or sex, whichever shape and form it may take.

ooh thanks! i will go have a chat with my tutor tomorrow as i am rather interested in this essay and look forward to doing it. I was going to try look at Shibari as that has quite a history and my tutor is a sucker for anything Asian like that! | |

Try 'The Ups and Downs of Life' by Capt. Edward Sellon - the old cove's illustrated account of his catalogue of curmudgeonly colonial conquests. I did my dissertation on his work and it went spankingly well  It's just like the Sixties. Except there's less hope. | |

Track down a book called "An anthology of spanking literature" published by Janus. It's got several pieces and pictures from across that period. Moses was angry with the officers of the army..."Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them..."Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31:15-17) | |

The Erotic Print society is a good source. I think there are symopsis you can possibly use without having the book and simply cite the website. | |

If you are looking into Shibari then the origin is in Hojo Justu - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoj%C5%8Djutsu which might get you a few more references | |

Velvet Eden by Serge Nazarieff is an excellent source and has the advantage that all the pictures are dated and properly referenced. Or memo me and I'll send you a couple of good retro examples.
