Some amazing words of other people's wisdom!

Fabulous Edinburgh slut walks and an even better explanation!


The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women.
It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized
sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and
consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with
its opposite, the pornographic. But pornographic is a direct denial of the power of the
erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasises sensation 
                       without feeling.          Audre Lorde. Uses of the Erotic


It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked...You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Khalil Gibran
