Erotic Evolution of Human Sexuality
Philosophy of Love & Sex, Nudes, Vintage Erotica
We hope you enjoy our provocative gallery of Renaissance & Impressionist Erotic Art Nudes and Vintage Erotica. These lovely, sexy pictures are printed with insightful, amusing and inspiring quotes on the Evolutionary Philosophy of Love, Sex and Human Sexuality. Our collection has evolved over the past few years from our Sexual Philosophy website, which is founded on the biological and cultural evolution of sex. (Warning, sexuality pages are adult only.)
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 cultivate both our mind and body in beautiful ways, founded on good knowledge of our evolution to create harmony between our instincts and our customs. As Freud famously writes, sex is central to our existence, and thus central to to our cultivation as complete human beings.
We hope you find our selection of beautiful minds and sensual bodies creative, artistic, intelligent, thought provoking and a little smutty! Enjoy!
