In 1953 Marlon Brando donned a black leather Perfecto motorcycle
jacket, military cap, denim jeans, and engineer boots to portray
Johnny, sneering leader of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, in The
Wild One. In 1954 Tom of Finland abandoned brown leather in his
artwork to create his own wild ones: muscular, hyper-masculine,
black leather-clad rebels with powerful engines between their legs.
The look was adopted by the Satyrs Motorcycle Club, the first gay
outlaw club, that same year, making Tom's fantasy world reality. Of
course, being Tom, he soon customized his new gay icons, adding
leather jodhpurs, knee high boots and leather caps, and every
motorcycle bore the brand name "Tom" on the gas tank. Tom's bikers
first appeared as two "Motorcycle Boys" in Physique Pictorial,
Winter 1958. Another made the cover of the April 1960 issue. Bikers
dominated his PP content from then on, as a nod to its American
readership as much as his growing obsession. When he sought an
ongoing character, a personal avatar, in 1968, he created Kake as
the ultimate biker leatherman, and elaborated on his riding
adventures - of every kind - through 26-panel stories. Tom adopted
Kake's gear as his own, presenting in black leather jacket, white
t-shirt, jeans, and high boots to the end of his life. The Little
Book of Tom: Bikers includes Tom's earliest images for Physique
Pictorial, Kake in motorcycle gear, biker panel stories, and
sizzling single drawings, all packed into 192 pages of sexy,
masculine men enjoying other masculine men in black leather, blue
jeans, and high black boots. On bikes.
This unique book presents works that until now have only rarely
been seen, even in private collections. Paintings, drawings and
sculptures by well known outsider artists and new discoveries, all
of which express deeply personal interpretations of sexual desire
and activity. With texts by the world's leading academic experts in
this field, Raw Erotica presents an essential element in the rich
and varied world of outsider and self-taught art. With texts and
contributions from: * Colin Rhodes, Univ of Sydney, author of
Outsider Art: Spontanious Alternatives * Roger Cardinal, author of
the original book Outsider Art * Jenifer Borum, New York based
authority on self-taught art * Michale Bonesteel, Chicago based
writer and author of Henry Darger * Thomas Roske, Curator, The

"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's
not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that,
perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house
without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't
you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men
whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a
suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're
at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as
shallow as this premise?" Done! The Little Big Penis Book features
over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s,
including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable,
Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino,
Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon
Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles
Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just
from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent
Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to
this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning
black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small,
or just right-ask for a better deal?
When we think Tom of Finland we first picture muscular, macho young
men in military gear. Tom's vision of masculine perfection was
formed during his service as an officer during World War II. Though
he served in the Finnish air force, it was the German troops,
stationed in Finland to help the country repel invading Russian
forces, which served as inspiration. After all, only the Germans
had uniforms created by Hugo Boss, tightly tailored, replete with
designer touches, and complimented by high, shiny black leather
boots. Tom, at 19, was smitten, an obsession that deepened
following his first sexual experiences with German officers in the
blackout streets of Helsinki. Tom began putting his military
fantasies on paper in 1945 to memorialize his thrilling nighttime
encounters when the war ended. At first the Hugo Boss uniforms
dominated, but as the years and then decades passed he included
American naval uniforms as well, and then his own hybridized
designs of black leather, jodhpurs, boots, and peaked caps, with
military insignia replaced by Tom's Men patches. As Tom attracted
an army of loyal fans, he created, with pencil, pen and gouache, an
army of free, proud, masculine fantasy men committed to pleasure
and male camaraderie. The Little Book of Tom: Military Men explores
Tom's fascination with militaria through a mixture of multi-panel
comics and single-panel drawings and paintings, all in a compact
and affordable 192 pages. Historic film stills and posters,
personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's own reference images
explore the cultural context and private inspirations behind the
ultimate Tom of Finland hero.
Beauty, lust, and the hushed presence of death are a potent mix of
ingredients that permeate every exquisite painting that Pete Tapang
lovingly creates. His women are enticing, inviting, and ultimately
BAD FOR YOU Still, you'll happily throw caution to the wind to get
next to these ladies, regardless the danger A must-have for lovers
of tattoos, Dia de los Muertos aficionados, and all things edgy and
bizarre
From the time The Big Penis Book was published, readers anticipated
The Big Book of Pussy. Granted, perhaps not the same readers, but
the seed had been planted and the calls and letters began flowing
in. Once they had that long-awaited book, some found themselves
overwhelmed by the variety and abundance, as well as the sheer size
of the book. As one reviewer wrote, "let's give credit to Amazon
for...the strength of its packaging. Who wants a 2-ton pussy book
being 'exposed' for the mailman...?" For those who worry that there
can be too much of a good thing, we've made a pared down, "best of"
edition of The Big Book of Pussy, a petite little kitten of a book
that puts those in-your-face photos in proper perspective. Now you
can follow the evolution of genital exposure with ease, through 100
years of photos with one thing in common: the exhibitionistic
pleasure with which the models present their feminine pulchritude.
And with over 150 photos-36 new to this book-of the pet we love to
pet, no bothersome text to interrupt the flow, all in a package
that won't stress the mailman's back, we just may have produced the
perfect self-gifter of the year.
The Little Big Book of Breasts features over 150 celebrated big
breast models from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, including Michelle
Angelo, Virginia Bell, Roxanne Brewer, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine
Burnett, Lisa DeLeeuw, Uschi Digard, Sylvia McFarland, Chesty
Morgan, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Janie Reynolds, Candy
Samples, Tempest Storm, Mary Waters, June Wilkinson, and Julie
Wills, plus Guinness Book of World Records bra-buster Norma Stitz
in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just from the
original 398-page edition, but from subsequent Big Breast
Calendars, meaning that 40% of the content is unique to this
edition. Add reduced text to make more room for the stunning
black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small,
or in-between-ask for a better deal?
In 2007 TASCHEN released The New Erotic Photography, followed in
2012 by The New Erotic Photography 2. Each book featured hundreds
of fresh and provocative images from the world's most intriguing
erotic talents. Now the best of both books is available in The New
Erotic Photography, featuring 62 photographers from 10 countries,
exploring the global variations of erotic photography, as well as
the evolution of photographic media over the last decade. We see
film give way to digital, while those who persist with film are as
likely to use Polaroids and primitive cameras like the Lomo and
Holga as traditional SLRs. The featured photographers include new
names Gregory Bojorquez, Jo Schwab, Tomohide Ikeya, Frederic
Fontenoy, Andrew Pashis, and Jan Hronsky, as well as established
artists Guido Argentini, Bruno Bisang, Eric Kroll, and the late Bob
Carlos Clarke. Several outstanding women are also featured in this
edition, including erotic film star Kimberly Kane, digital pioneer
Natacha Merritt, heavy metal skateboarder Magdalena Wosinska,
self-portraitist Jody Frost, and cover artist April-lea Hutchinson.
It all adds up to an awful lot of nudes for a tantalizingly low
price. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural

The fourth book in the Bondi series from photographer Paul Freeman
It started in 1978 with an ordinary coffee shop near Kyoto. Word
spread that the waitresses wore no panties under their miniskirts.
Similar establishments popped up across the country. Men waited in
line outside to pay three times the usual coffee price just to be
served by a panty-free young woman. Within a few years, a new craze
took hold: the no-panties "massage" parlor. Increasingly bizarre
services followed, from fondling clients through holes in coffins
to commuter-train fetishists. One particularly popular destination
was a Tokyo club called "Lucky Hole" where clients stood on one
side of a plywood partition, a hostess on the other. In between
them was a hole big enough for a certain part of the male anatomy.
Taking the Lucky Hole as his title, Nobuyoshi Araki captures
Japan's sex industry in full flower, documenting in more than 800
photos the pleasure-seekers and providers of Tokyo's Shinjuku
neighborhood before the February 1985 New Amusement Business
Control and Improvement Act put a stop to many of the country's sex
locales. Through mirrored walls, bed sheets, the bondage and the
orgies, this is the last word on an age of bacchanalia, infused
with moments of humor, precise poetry, and questioning
interjections. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact
cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
Dedicated to the topics of eroticism and sexuality in the visual
production of the medieval and early modern Muslim world, this
volume sheds light on the diverse socio-cultural milieus of erotic
images, on the range of motivations that determined their
production, and on the responses generated by their circulation.
The articles revise what has been accepted as a truism in existing
literature-that erotic motifs in the Islamic visual arts should be
read metaphorically-offering, as an alternative, rigorous
contextual and cultural analyses. Among the subjects discussed are
male and female figures as sexualized objects; the spiritual
dimensions of eroticism; licit versus illicit sexual practices; and
the exotic and erotic 'others' as a source of sensual delight. As
the first systematic study on these themes in the field of Islamic
art history, this volume fills a considerable gap and contributes
to the lively debates on the nature and function of erotic and
sexual images that have featured prominently in broader
art-historical discussions in recent decades.
"Her images are a thoughtful ode to all women - to their grace and
beauty, and the gentle spirit of modern feminism - and they are now
presented in book form for the first time." - Square Mile "A
refreshingly feminine take on sensuality is showcased in erotic
photographer Tina Trumpp's latest coffee table book." - Maxim
Magazine As one of the few women with countless exhibitions and
awards in recent years, Tina Trumpp has made a name for herself in
the nude photography scene. For her, the female nude is never just
an erotic motif. Every one of her photographs is an ode to the
grace, elegance and strength of her subjects. With natural light
and soft rendering, she creates unique and sensual nude imagery:
thoughtful, seductive and always incomparably aesthetic. Featuring
180 colour and black and white images, this photo book is the first
large-format publication of Tina Trumpp's photographs, a powerful
collection and combination of sexuality, serenity, and
self-confidence. Text in English and German.
Many loved The Big Book of Legs but some found it just too darn
big, weighing in at nearly seven pounds. True, it was packed with
shapely legs spanning six decades, from the first shy emergence of
the ankle in the 1910s, through the rolled stockings and rouged
knees of the 1920s, to the Betty Grable '40s, the stockinged and
stilettoed '50s, on into the sexually liberated '60s and '70s, but
it could still put a dent in your own thighs if you sat reading for
too long. Fortunately here at TASCHEN we listen to your groans of
agony as well as your moans of ecstasy; thus, this light and
portable new edition, packing over 100 of the choicest photos from
the original volume, as well as 38 new photos, into a compact (and
frankly adorable) package. From Betty Grable to Bettie Page, the
greatest legs of the 20th Century can be found within, shot by
Irving Klaw, Bunny Yeager, and the incomparable Elmer Batters,
father of leg art. There are silk and nylon stockings, high heels
in abundance, curvy calves, taut thighs, playful toes and towering
arches-with no bothersome text to get in the way. Could leg love
get any sweeter?
Once again, Alazar, the undisputed king of kink combines his
fiendishly clever mind with his bottomless well of deviant talents
and produces an all-new gallery of things that make us all go
"ooooh"! Carnal cartooning is brought to heights of hotness! Don't
forget your "safe word"! OUCH!

All new illustrations.
From the dawn of time, ever since Adam and Eve, all artists of
every age-whether the Egyptian, Greek, or Roman artists of
Antiquity, or more recent famous names such as Rembrandt, Courbet,
Degas, or Picasso-have succumbed to their fantasies, obsessions,
and libido and produced erotic works that the censors have taken
good care to keep from the public. For Erotica Universalis, we
surface from the subterranean realms of the museums to enter those
of our national and private libraries. Here we discover that not
only most of our famous writers, such as Ovid, Aretino, Voltaire,
Verlaine, or Maupassant, wrote erotic texts that bordered on
indecency, but also that great artists like Boucher, Fragonard,
Dali, or Matisse were inspired to provide suitable illustrations
for these naughty books. For this new hardcover edition of the
classic 1995 best seller, we have culled highlights from our
Erotica Universalis collection. About the series Bibliotheca
Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic
TASCHEN universe!
Drawing on a panorama of materials from 1930s France, Eroticism and
Photography in 1930s French Magazines takes a new approach to
studying a certain type of image from a certain time. Previously
untapped by historians, magazines such as Paris Magazine, Paris Sex
Appeal, Pages Folles, Pour lire a deux, and Scandale are inscribed
in the context of the interwar years. They reflect that context
through a bawdy style, an audacious and multifaceted aesthetic -
from kitsch to modern - and permeability to reproducibility. With a
focus on the photographs as components of the magazines' layout,
Alix Agret critically examines their interrelations with texts and
graphics without neglecting the history surrounding them, which
forms a backdrop to the analyses of this previously unstudied
source material. The first study of its kind, this is a timely
scholarly contribution to the field of the history of photographs.
This book will be of interest to scholars in the field of history
of photography, French history, and twentieth-century art history.
