		<description>&lt;a href="http://beautifulagony.com/"&gt;facettes de la petite mort&lt;/a&gt; No nudity, but not safe for work. I love it when eroticism is found where you might not expect it. Like, simple facial expression, for example.</description>

		<description>Two points on &lt;a href=&quot;http://beautifulagony.com/preview/0046.html&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;:
1. Why the edits? What&apos;s different during the outtakes?
2. If you consider she might have an itchy foot or tummy, it&apos;s far less interesting.

Seems like one of those investments you&apos;d be kicking yourself for after the first 2 days of the month.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; If you consider she might have an itchy foot or tummy, it&apos;s far less interesting.&lt;/i&gt;

That was my first impression as well, like it was some kind of experiment and when they zoom out you see she&apos;s actually doing something perfectly innoncent.  But the idea that there&apos;s some assumption of eroticism that makes it erotic without relying on any &lt;i&gt;actual&lt;/i&gt; eroticism to work off of is ludicrous.  Generally people only act like that when they&apos;re having sex or acting like they&apos;re having sex.

It&apos;s like they&apos;re saying, &quot;Well, look it&apos;s just an innocent person breathing and moaning and scrunching up their eyes as they roll into the back of their head while they scream the Lord&apos;s name at the top of their lungs...  perfectly innoncent... &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;or is it?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&quot; [dum dum &lt;i&gt;dum!!&lt;/i&gt;]

No.  But as an exercise in &quot;faces are erotic&quot;, it succeeds nicely.</description>

		<description>I&apos;m reminded of a story about a very famous european actress from the 20&apos;s or 30&apos;s (whose name escapes me at the moment).  She was starring in a film where, in one sequence,  she was required sort of imply that she had reached orgasm (or at least sexual ecstasy), without actually showing any sex.  The director achieved a very satisfactory effect by framing a close shot of her face while he squeezed her big toe as hard as he could.   The end result was so realistic that the film was quite controversial -- banned or censored in several countries.  (I wish I could recall the name of the actress, but alas, I cannot.)

Nice site.  Good post.</description>
