EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHY 

Dr. Marcy Brink is the Kinsey Institute's Ogden Curatorial Scholar

for Integrative Approaches to Sex Research and Therapy 

 

Photography allows me to connect to my authentic desires. I may not always be able to say what I like, but I know it when I see it. Erotic photography inspires me to look anew at myself and others. In addition to taking photos and modeling (see some samples below), I am currently a scholar at the Kinsey Institute, where I'm conducting a research project, "Curotica: Navigating Desire Through Curated Erotica." This project involves selecting erotic photographs from the Kinsey Institute's archives - over 80,000 prints and negatives from the 1850s to the present! - for inclusion in a practical workbook designed for sex educators, intimacy counselors, sex therapists and their clients.
