A few weeks ago, I ran across a bunch of pictures by visioluxus at DeviantArt, Of The Deep (nsfw) which featured a model tastefully draped with an octopus. I was reminded of, and was prompted to locate the Hokusai woodcut, Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife (c1820), which I had not seen for nearly 30 years, but it isn’t the kind of image that is easily forgotten.
Cephalopod Awareness Day had already been and gone, so I didn’t post anything. This morning, however, PZ Myers at Pharyngula turns up with a link to a pair of photos (probably nsfw) in a similar vein, but with considerably lower production values. Between them, these locations link outwards to reveal a robustly healthy tentacle fetish scene. Who knew?
If this stuff rings your bell, and you’re thinking of having a go at this genre yourself, it would be well to heed the comments by visioluxus on DA, and have a good supply of hydrogen peroxide on hand.
