"For a brief period in the 1960s and 1970s people dreamed of an erotopia in which men and women could engage in sex without hangups and inhibitions. The protagonist of Erica Jong's Fear of Flying fantasized about “the zipless fuck”: anonymous, casual, and free of guilt and jealousy. “If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with,” sang Stephen Stills. “If you love somebody, set them free,” sang Sting." --The Blank Slate


"Equally unthinkable would be such an egregiously unrealistic erotopia as Turkish Bath, populated by sloe-eyed, close-pressed, languid youths, and painted by an octogenarian Mme Ingres." --"Eroticism and Female Imagery in Nineteenth-Century Art"
