Jeff Bark (born 1963) “Untitled (Dusk)” (2004–05), of the Abandon series, provided me with an immediate frisson. It laterally depicts a kneeling woman, her hands stretched out over a sofa, something that appears to be a whip to her side. The colors are very suede-like.
“The Belt“, a short story by Italian author Alberto Moravia, provided me with a very similar frisson.
Previous entries in Icons of Erotic Art here, and in a Wiki format here.
Tip of the hat to L’@mateur.
I like Moravia too, especially “Boredom”
I LOVE Boredom but I only saw the film, which was brilliant.
there is a movie?
There apparently have bee two film adaptations, I saw the 1998 version by Cédric Kahn.

I’d make it into a classic if there were a Youtube clip.
