QUICK THOUGHTS: pleasure, beauty and creativity

We read all sorts of things about the sexual enjoyment of men and women. Sociologists, psychologists, "connoisseurs" of all kinds try their hand without visible stops. The topic is so strongly linked to feelings, to physicality, to gender identities, today very much to chemistry, and to more or less induced tastes where everyone seems to be right, "but also not" a Venetian would say. Do they talk about it carefully or with approximation? I think they make great attempts to understand, but with little success, given the difficult and elusive subject. We only add what are the "absences" in the disclosures. Science, medicine and pornography, albeit with different purposes, make enormous useless efforts to catalog, measure, standardize what philosophy has avoided studying for centuries due to inability to understand, leaving the field free for the simplifications of morality. Eros is a "field" between apparently similar individuals. The eroticism that arises between these individuals is an elusive, jagged power that is never the same. We are involved in a whirlwind of often unrepeatable sensations which are power that cannot be framed at all, cannot be grouped, cannot be associated, cannot be homogenized. Each individual, male, female, or of other gender identities has its own uniqueness and the wonder for each of us is knowing how to highlight it, understand its potential, increase it with dedication and fully know it. The happiness of a couple is the reaching out towards the complete expansion of themselves through a strong realization of the other. The "mutual discovery" is a long and tiring animal and above all intellectual journey which is pure knowledge and the happiness of being in this world. The more this life path is complex, attentive and attractive, the more the couple is fulfilled, reaching a higher level of status and pleasure of living that escapes any scientific classification and is the continuous development of a unique phenomenon that concerns only the protagonists and is absolutely useless to everyone else. Both science and the world of porn fear and worry about this awareness, both of which are useless in this field (yet pornography thrives and expands). Literature, fearing of falling into a pornographic language, has always remained, except in very rare daredevil authors, in the spheres of indecent boredom. Novels like "Fifty Shades" are ancient fairy tales dusted off, adapted to our times. Even art has given up, over the centuries it has been able to grasp only some marginal aspects of Eros better, even if only slightly, it has been able to make erotic comics (Hans Kovacs, Ignacio Noe , Serpieri Eleuteri, for example), they have been able to excellently represent erotic dreams and sexual nightmares especially female in every possible sauce. Nineteenth-century art made powerful the beauty of gestures driven by strong sexual desire. Photography has, in an embarrassing way, homologated forms of beauty to sub-categories of sensuality, through a process similar to what fashion has imposed on the slender, reduced and often inhuman female figure on its models. Photography captures the most ordinary and usual aspects of beauty, it is totally absent from the "movement of bodies" which is pure expression of desire, therefore inauthentic and very boring. Only a few artists like Courbet have offered us some aspects of a very powerful female beauty, each time they have portrayed their fabulous mistresses. We can conclude this topic by stating that true beauty resides in the movement of bodies and this aspect also generates intense enjoyment for those who love this vital impulse which adds to the others of a sexual nature, and there is no doubt that the pleasure of each of us springs from the complete affirmation of the enjoyment of our otherness, a congenial partner for physicality and for the unfolding of mutual feelings. This naturally does not lead us to think that we have exhausted the subject, as we anticipated above, it fears no one in terms of unpredictability because it is strongly driven by the creativity of human beings.
