Seduction has always been an art ever since we were wearing leopard skin and grunting at each other thousands of years ago.
To celebrate the art of Seduction the Barbican centre, London has created an exhibition that covers 2,000 years of art history’s most seductive moments. Exhibits range from Nan Goldin’s slide of a man ejaculating while having intercourse with his male partner through to an 18th centaury Arabic manuscript illustrating 10 men having group sex.
The police stormed the exhibition but passed everything as fine and legitimate for public viewing.
"It's partly about intention," said Prof Kemp a curator of the exhibition. "The job of pornography is to do just one thing; and if it's doing anything else, it's not doing its job properly."
The exhibition is tipped to be a must see by punters.
