I have serious qualms about aspects of A Song of Ice and Fire, particularly the way it uses its naturalistic depiction of power as a cover for eroticizing sexual violence.

There's a lot of bad acting and a lot of sexualizing things that aren't sexual, which is why in these ads we're eroticizing prison reform and things that are 'dry' on paper.

So Mr. Guadagnino speaks for them by eroticizing their world, making desire visible in the luxuriousness of the setting, in the green enveloping the villa, the gushing waters of a pool and the graceful lines of male statues.

We live in a culture that on the one hand has a limited vocabulary for talking about sexual violence, and works to neutralize new terms almost as soon as they are created, and on the other takes an insidious pleasure in eroticizing the existing vocabulary.

A recurring criticism within the negative reviews was that Snyder, who has a cinematic track record of eroticizing masculinity and violence and has been criticized for dabbling in racism in his movie 300, kind of missed the point of all the violence and the critical eye against superheroism that Moore and Gibbons baked into their comic.

The rare thing the book offers is a nearly documentary collection of gay and genderqueer kids, and their situations, in the early 1970s: Pauly, a pudgy Satanist eroticizing ceremony at boarding school; Peter, a needy, compliant runaway among several such gentle souls in a Boulder shelter; dear Owen Spoon, a Mormon from Idaho, "pink as a seashell," who can't resist Chris; and Sean, a rape victim whose family and community deem him tainted, and who, stuck in his unmentionable crisis, recreates his primal violations to get off.

Rites was also committed to developing a political response to the AIDS crisis, supporting persons living with AIDS (PLWAs), and eroticizing safe sex.

Women acting as bondage riggers for other women. Sadomasochism (BDSM) has been criticized by anti porn feminists for eroticizing power and violence and for reinforcing misogyny (Rubin, 1984). They argue that women who choose to engage in BDSM are making a choice that is ultimately bad for women. Sex-positive feminists argue that consensual BDSM activities are enjoyed by many women and validate these women's sexual inclinations.

Queer Pornography has been attracting academic attention since the 2000s. A challenge within queer pornography is that some labeled queer porn may depict scenarios that could be part of any heterosexual mainstream pornographic film. This follows academic Niels van Doorn's concept of the “pornoscript,” eroticizing heterosexual difference and focusing on the male subject position. For example, a scene from Real Queer Productions's Fluid depicts a threesome with elements of submissions and dominance, rough vaginal and anal penetration, and external male ejaculation.

The case, National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley (1998), argued in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, was decided against Finley and the other artists. Finley has expressed delight at the fact that she appeared in Playboy (in July 1999) and received a Ms. magazine Woman of the Year award within months of each other. She was also featured in Time during this period, though she felt that the magazine misrepresented her by "eroticizing" works (such as one that addressed rape) based on her nudity alone; in other words, that they couldn't absorb any information beyond her naked body.

In June 1992, organizers of the program formed a core focus group, developing advertisements and short articles in order to promote participation of the workshops. The three workshops were held in September and November 1992 and February 1993 respectively. The workshops consisted of a panel of transgender people living with HIV/AIDS and the focus of the workshops was the impact of HIV/AIDS and what could be done in order to prevent the spread of the virus. Specifically, organizers had a focus on eroticizing safer sex and risk reduction strategies relating to the use of needles when injecting hormones and/or silicone.

Through the 1980s more studios incorporated safer sex messaging into their films including stars who would open a feature with a safer sex talk. As a director Slater left safer sex practices up to each actor as he was documenting their sexuality in action and did not want to dictate how they should act. As an actor, in 1989’s Motorsexual, Slater deliberately used poppers—long associated with the party-and-play sex subculture eroticizing illegal drug abuse, unprotected and risky sex practices—to be politically incorrect. In 1990 he said, “As far as safe sex in my work is concerned, I will not preach, or morally judge.

Shernoff was an early volunteer for Gay Men's Health Crisis and became one of the first social workers in the United States to address AIDS in a private psychotherapy practice. He wrote many articles and offered training for both mental health professionals and patients on dealing with mental health aspects of gay sexuality and living with HIV and AIDS. In 1985 he and Luis Palacios-Jiménez created the workshop "Hot, Horny and Healthy: Eroticizing Gay Sex" for a Gay Men’s Health Crisis conference. The workshop, intended to teach gay men how to continue to engage in sexual activity without risking HIV transmission, was eventually presented in cities across North America.

Many face severe professional consequences or social rejection if they are exposed, either voluntarily or involuntarily, as sadomasochists. Within feminist circles, the discussion has been split roughly into two camps: some who see BDSM as an aspect or reflection of oppression (for example, Alice Schwarzer) and, on the other side, pro-BDSM feminists, often grouped under the banner of sex-positive feminism (see Samois); both of them can be traced back to the 1970s.Alice Schwarzer: "Weiblicher Masochismus ist Kollaboration!" from EMMA Heft 2, 1991 Some feminists have criticized BDSM for eroticizing power and violence, and for reinforcing misogyny. They argue that women who engage in BDSM are making a choice that is ultimately bad for women.Alice Schwarzer, EMMA Heft 2, 1991 Feminist defenders of BDSM argue that consensual BDSM activities are enjoyed by many women and validate the sexual inclinations of these women.BDSM and Feminism: An Insider's View by Tammy Jo Eckhart , May 2011 They argue that there is no connection between consensual kinky activities and sex crimes, and that feminists should not attack other women's sexual desires as being "anti-feminist".
