Caption: Exploring the Historical Depictions through Art and Literature This collection of artworks and literary references provides a glimpse into the taboo subject throughout history. From Aubrey Beardsley's provocative "The Toilet of Lampito" to Paul Avril's sensual lithograph in "Ancient Times, " these pieces shed light on human sexuality and its depiction in various eras. In the 18th century, we witness an intriguing scene where three bourgeois women engage a monk in self-pleasure within the confines of a parlour. Similarly, another engraving portrays a nun stumbling upon a monk indulging himself amidst nature's embrace. These images challenge societal norms by exploring forbidden desires hidden beneath religious garb. Moving forward, we encounter more intimate portrayals such as "Reclining Semi-Nude (Masturbating)" by an anonymous artist from 1912-13. This sanguine drawing captures vulnerability and sensuality simultaneously, inviting viewers to contemplate their own relationship with self-exploration. Departing from visual art, literature also delves into this topic with works like those by Marquis de Sade. His engravings depict scenes that push boundaries while questioning societal constraints surrounding pleasure and desire. "Nocturnal activities" offers us insight into nocturnal habits beyond sleep, reminding us that humans have always sought pleasure even under cover of darkness. Meanwhile, "Headstand" presents an intriguing perspective on self-discovery through physicality. Captured within daguerreotypes is an image from 1850 depicting a woman resting on a chaise-longue adorned in elegant attire—a reminder that even during prim Victorian times, individuals found ways to explore their desires discreetly. Lastly, we encounter more explicit representations like F. K Forberg's lithograph titled "Ancient Times. " This piece showcases sexual liberation without shame or judgment—an essential aspect often overlooked when discussing historical attitudes towards masturbation.
