Inamorata: The Erotic Art of Michael Manning

(Last Gasp, 2005)

In this world, for every fetish, there’s an artist willing to give it representation and two-dimensional life on the printed page. Thus, if your tastes run to women in leather bondage gear, masks, and even women with male genitalia having sex with women who are tied up, you’re in luck. All of those images and more are here on display, on page after page of art where sometimes you have to look for a couple of minutes to be sure what you’re looking at—and sometimes you wish you hadn’t looked quite so closely in the first place.

This stylish, hard-bound collection features predominantly black and white pictures, but many have spot colors and others full-color. The book also features introductory text theorizing why some, including the artist, find profane images so compelling.
