The Human Condition - Fine Art, Seductress

"Nymphomania: Excessive sexual desire in women which can lead to promiscuity. The problem usually has an emotional origin which means that the underlying emotional problem often needs to be treated in order to treat the condition. The emotional problem may stem from and unconscious conflict about their own adequacy.
The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Nymphomania includes the 12 symptoms listed below:

  • Persistent thoughts about coitus or sexual images
  • Compulsive masturbation
  • Promiscuous sexual activity
  • Out of control behaviour
  • Personality change
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Low self esteem
  • Substance abuse
  • Alcoholism
  • Repeated unsuccessful relationships
  • Person becomes obsessed with obtaining sexual gratification, to the detriment of their normal (social, occupational, recreational activities); often repeated attempts to cease behaviour are unsuccessful."
Rather than going down the obvious, not very tasteful route for this photoshoot, i decided to get a buresque/pin up model. Since it's suppost to be a victorian insane asylum - her condition wouldn't be exactly nymphomania but she would be seen as a seductress and tease, and in such a man dominated society she would be seen as a menace to society and so would be sent to an asylum. (and inside she will attempt to seduce the asylum guards, walking around in barely any clothes and not being very proper and lady-like)
