    Why is she hunched over the thing in an awkward position? Why not simply hold the mouthpiece in your hand like you’re supposed to?

    “Description: Erroneous visions of the Eastern/oriental woman, historically seen only as a sexual object by the white man”

        In the orientalism movement, lead by Europeans, wich this art is from, yes.
        Sorry for you, I do not make the history.

        If you are unease with arts and the story behinds, don’t go to museums…

    Can we get a NSFW tag for these please? I don’t want people thinking that I jackoff to 1800s oil paintings of naked women.

      Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

        If you’re cis white male, this behaviour is severely frowned upon. The police will just ask you all to do better, and then arrest the brown guy for watching a muckbang vid

        Pornography is not suddenly a great and important piece of culture just because it was nicely painted with a brush a long time ago. It is still pornography.

        What do you mean by “getting some culture”? You mean perhaps studying art history? Because I guarantee countless artists, art historians and critics would deny this painting has much cultural value. The whole style has been heavily and justifiably derired. If anything, what is conservative here is the painting’s view of women (painted according to the sexual tastes of rich European men) and stereotypical treatment of foreign culture.
