Product Description
Product Description
A respectable 92-year-old woman, baroness of her state, was watching at a Cuban swimming pool an elegant man. When asked by her malicious daughter-in-law, "What are you looking at?," she answered without hesitation, "He has a beautiful bottom." Her daughter-in-law then answered, "I chose your son because of his bottom."
An ethnological and sociological reflection is lead by Professor Dopp on this fascinating matter that brings to the most incongruous revelations. Beyond our cultural and religious upbringings, women and men pursue their fantasies, which the author tries to unravel with the rigour of a scientist for the pleasure of our eyes.
About the Author
Dopp taught for a number of years at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, where he held a chair of psychoanalytical interpretation, as well as the cultural history of erotic art. For the past thirty years, he has been an avid collector of erotic art and has gained international recognition through various exhibitions and publications.

A Nice Mix of Vintage Erotic Art
Dec 19 2008
Format:Hardcover
The cover on this book is a bid misleading, as it might give one the impression that it's about vintage nude photography, but this is more about erotic art from the 19th and early 20th centuries, which includes photos, drawings, and paintings. It specifically features artwork that accentuates the beauty the of the buttocks, both male and female. And much of the material is quite sexual. That's the real treasure here - many of the images a rare gems of erotica that must have totally dazzled the original audience, but still possess the power to titillate modern-day viewers who might not otherwise be so easily impressed. The text provided by Döpp is very interesting and despite his academic background is very readable and informative. The "backside obsessions" of such luminaries as Goethe, Mozart, Rousseau, and de Sade are lighted upon in marvelous fashion.
All-in-all this is an excellent piece of vintage erotica that's visually stunning as well as intellectually stimulating ... without being overly clinical or academic.

Had nothing to do with booties. Wasn't worth purchasing. Though the art work was pretty good, well composed and drawn.
Listmania!
