Manuel Laval's Surreal (Sex) Life

If Salvador Dali had been an erotic photographer, would his work have resembled Manuel Laval's "Surreal Obscenities"? Perhaps not—but we're still as transfixed by these photos as we are by those melting clocks. More »

Gaze Into The Future With Fred Harper

"You should write about Fred Harper," a friend told us. "His art has lots of naked body parts — large-penised gentlemen and bulging boobs galore!" Clearly, this is a friend who knows us well. As promised, Fred's paintings and drawings do feature more than a few large-penised gentlemen and bulging boobs (though not large penised gentlemen with bulging titties, mind you — we'll have to go elsewhere for that). It also features cyborgs, dismembered bodies, and plenty of other random meta-metaphysical and surrealist touches. It's like the erotic art of the past combined with the porn of the future. Oh, and did we mention there are lots of bulging boobs? More »

Ben Wittner's Surreal Life

German photographer Ben Wittner's photos seamlessly mix the surreal and the ordinary, combining everyday scenes of comfortable nudity with slightly (and sometimes not-so-slightly) bizarre details—a bathtub in a tree, headphones casually slipped over someone's naughty bits—painting a picture of a strange, yet oddly alluring, world.

Deep Inside Nena Blue

Speaking of press releases this morning, we seem to have missed the one telling us about the newish erotic photography emporium Nena Blue (no relation to Violet, as far as we know), which has been popping up on several of our favorite blogs and other places we go to scope out sexy content this week. And with good reason, too: the subscription-based site (with a generous free preview area) showcases erotic work by dozens of photographers from all over the world, with a particular emphasis on the surreal, the baroque, and the symbolic. So what if some of their English language content is imperfectly translated, or if their blog isn't translated at all, or if some of their pages don't display properly in Safari (though other browsers seem to work fine)? With a collection of photos this hot to sift through, it's not like we'd be paying much attention to the text or layout anyway. More »
