FAQ About Cultural Impact of Eroticism in Literature and Art
What role does gender play in the portrayal of eroticism?
Gender plays a significant role in the portrayal of eroticism, influencing who is depicted as the subject, who holds the gaze, and how power dynamics are represented. Traditional art often depicted female bodies for a male gaze, reinforcing gender stereotypes.
