"Nymphomania: Exploring the Taboos and Desires of the Past" Step into a world where desires were whispered behind closed doors, hidden from prying eyes. In this captivating journey through history, we delve into the intriguing realm of nymphomania. From scandalous encounters to provocative debates, these engravings and lithographs offer glimpses into an era shrouded in secrecy. In an 18th-century parlour, three bourgeois women find pleasure in their own hands while a monk becomes their willing muse. The woodcut reveals a couple lost in passion, their bodies entwined as they surrender to ecstasy. A maid's dish serves as more than just sustenance; it becomes a symbol of indulgence and temptation. The awakening comes alive through a woman gazing at her reflection with desire burning in her eyes. Meanwhile, another engraving uncovers the forbidden act between a nun and a masturbating monk amidst the solitude of nature's embrace. Female nudity takes center stage as eye-catching adverts captivate onlookers with their allure. A bishop blesses the marital bed while newlyweds intertwine intimately - an ancient ritual witnessed by all who dare peek inside this sacred moment. Within an 18th-century parlour, heated arguments arise between a lady and nun over possession of a dildo - objects that challenge societal norms but satisfy unspoken cravings nonetheless. In another engraving set within library walls, power dynamics shift as gentlemen kneel before monks seeking enlightenment beyond books. An anatomical drawing leaves nothing to imagination; it unravels the intricacies of sexual acts meticulously etched onto paper for curious minds to explore. And amidst these tales lies an engraving depicting Prague's deformed woman – reminding us that beauty is not confined within conventional standards but can be found even in unexpected places. Finally, we encounter "A Young Man Choosing Love of Beauty Rather Than Riches, " capturing one individual's defiance against societal expectations, opting for the pursuit of aesthetic pleasure over material wealth.
