Top (Hat) Of The Mornin' To Ya

Hold the phone, I've got some great links for you this morning.

(Yeah, and I'm pandering the posed art nudes for ya.)

Found at Gloria Brame's blog, a list of Fine Art Nude, Figure, Glamour and Dance Photography books.

Ms Angela of Zen Fetish has posted three poems by e.e. cummings.

Gracie at Sex Kitten has an interesting post on the difficulties of being a sex-positive female publisher. Here's a bit of it:

"Playboy's been around, been accepted, for decades. Why not Sex Kitten?"

"Because Playboy's for men."

"And men can like sex, but women can't?"

"Of course, women can like sex; but men are supposed to like and talk about it more."

"But in Playboy the women, the centerfolds, admit they like sex ~ it's probably the only true part of their bios!"

"But it's still for men; male fantasies of women."

"So men are happier fantasizing that the women they are objectifying like sex than they are in accepting that real women they could screw like sex."

It's here where he becomes silent.

I can understand why; it's rather difficult to hear that outloud and neither want to accept it nor have a defense for it.

And while you're there, check out Masturbation, Bonding and The Threat To Society by DeeDee:

But unlike other basic drives, sex is different from food and water in that we can satisfy ourselves without actually achieving the goal of the drive. Arousal and orgasm can be achieved without contact with another human being yet be just as satisfying (at least in the physical needs department), while thirst and hunger may only be sated with water and food.
