Thomas Archive-title: Erosian Theory and Practice Code of Practice Sexual Practices & Guidelines Based on the research to date, I have compiled a list of sexual practices which in no way is complete. However, I have come across a few practices which will not be accepted withing the Code of Practice for Erosians, and I will detail the reasons for their failure to be included. Pedophilia - recognized as committing sexual practices with a minor, or allowing such practices to be committed, pedophilia is outlawed by Erosian Code of Conduct #1,2,4 and is recognized as one of the most foul and damaging of all sex crimes. Necrophilia - Disallowed because the dead cannot consent. Scat - Definition (Sexual fulfillment by killing at the point of orgasm). One of the most heinious of all crimes, this act is in violation of all Erosians stand for. Beastiality - Animals cannot consent to sexual practices. Rape - The most damaging form of forced sexuality. Reprehensible and unforgivable. Erosians must believe in the freedom of sexuality and that which is taken and not given is useless. There may be additions to this list as time progresses, and I am doing my utmost to take into consideration all practices and their ramifications. Below, are some thoughts and theories behind some of the activities listed in the Code of Practice. A,B - Anal sex has come into the limelight in the last 5 or so years, with the advent of the gay revolution. One point must be made early on about anal sex, and that regards hygene and disease prevention. Genital to anal sex can and should be enjoyed if desired, but either the giver should utilize a condom, or if that is unacceptable, care should be take to cleanse before and afterward. Care should also be taken to lubricate the anus prior to entry, as anal tears are painful and prone to infection. Anal sex can be a delightful way for a woman to fulfill a fantasy of being reversed with her partner, and men, homosexual or not can find a huge degree of pleasure in anal stimulation. Anal stimulation also can be practiced as a masturbatory act, and may allow the Erosian a chance to experiment as to his or her likes and dislikes regarding this alternative sex act. C,D,I,J - Water Sports and Enemas are very closely related in the scheme of sexual classification. Water sports can include any sexual activity involving urination. Also called Golden Showers, or Golden Rain, water sports involve one party urinating on another which heightens the sexual excitement. The location of the urination varies, and some receivers prefer the genitals, the chest, the stomach, the face or even the mouth as the target. Water sports evolve on many levels, some relating to dominant/submissive fantasies in which one person derives pleasure from dominating the other with the act of urination, to other levels where it is the actual act of urinating that elicits pleasure. Mutual water sports are not unusual where both parties are involved in giving and receiving the urination. Water sports also project as far as the drinking and swallowing of urine (in some countries this is practiced daily for 'health' measures) direct for the giver. Enemas involve the injection or introduction of liquids into the anus and rectum. Initially designed for cleansing and clearing the rectum of matter, enemas can play a large role in alternative sexuality. The person highly involved in anal sex will take an interest in enemas as a way to clean the rectum prior to anal intercourse. At the same time, it should be noted that some people find the act of enema giving and receiving pleasurable in itself. Related both to water sports and to anal sex, enemas can be seen as a addition to the sexual world. Also along the same lines lies the topic of douching. Long established as a way to clean the vagina before sex, after sex, and after the monthly period, douching for the aqua-erotic may prove to be stimulating as a item in itself. As bizarre as these different aquatic pastimes may seem, they are accepted and understood forms of sexual involvement. Many people might feel guilt or shame for fantasizing or involving themselves in these activities, but Erosian Theory puts an end to the shame. If it feels good and doesn't hurt anyone, do it! If it feels good, do it again! Your sexuality is your own; you determine the limitations. Experiment! How are you going to be aware if the above is pleasurable, unless you try it? E,F,G,H - S & M :These initals, common in the sexual world, stand for Sadism/Masochism. Derived from two men's names (Marquis De Sade & Leopold van Sacher Masoch) these terms apply to the getting of sexual pleasure via the receiving or giving of pain. A sadist receives his/her pleasure from inflicting pain upon a person, usually in the form of whippings, spankings, heated objects, genital devices, etc. The masochist is the person who receives pleasure from the receipt of this pain. The secret to the enjoyment of receiving pain lies in finding the borderline between pain and pleasure in the physical areas of the body. Different individuals will have different thresholds of pain. The successful sadist will be able to find these levels and play upon them. The true successful relationship in this course of study is that of a true sadist and a true masochist. B & D: These initials stand for bondage and domination. Very similar in practice to S&M, bondage and domination relies on a successful mix of master and slave to bring true satisfaction to the relationship. In this field of study, pleasure is derived from restraining, or binding the subject (slave) with any number of devices and "forcing" him/her to pleasure his "master/mistress". S&M may well play an important part in the domination, and humiliation, combined with other sexual acts may be included in this alternate lifestyle category. At all times, Erosians must remember to respect limits set forth by both partners prior to engaging in sexual S&M or B&D. K - Fetishist: This is a broad based, user specifics defined term to correlate specific overbearing detailed sexual interests. A fetish is defined as any non-sexual object that excites sexual desire. Examples of fetishism include: foot fetishes, leather, rubber, oil, etc. L - Role Reversal : This is defined for our uses as a person of one gender acting and participating in sexual encounter in the role of the opposite sex. Examples of this include: A woman anally stimulating her male partner with a strap on dildo. A man performing fellatio on a false cock provided by his female partner. Role reversal may extend to whatever level is agreed upon by the two parties. Some role reversal last for the length of the sex act, others may extend into daily life. Cross dressing may enhance the act of role reversal. M, N - Porn Users/Performers: This category refers to the Erosian with an interest in collection, watching/reading of pornography as well as the Erosian who enjoys posing for pictures or starring in video fulms of sexual activity. The pornography user should take an interest in building and maintaining a collection of pornography, as well as meeting and trading films, books, videos with others of similar interests. The pornography performer takes interest in a very different way. He/she, like the user, enjoys viewing adult materials, however he/she enjoys posing/acting for the camera in a sexual manner. Most Erosians involved will participate in home video/pictures only, while some will actually get involved in the adult motion picture business. Erosian Theory heartily endorses this activity, as it glorifies the physical self, the body and the natural acts of the Erosian. This form of sharing the sexual pleasures of one Erosian with those of many through repeated viewings is a wonderful way to spread the warmth of sexuality. Two rules must be strongly adhered to when engaging in pornographic performances. One: no children (minors) must be present or involved in any way. Two: All parties must be in agreement as to the content, action, and distribution of the material. O,P - Voyerism/Exhibitionism: This form of sexuality is based on the desire to watch a sexual act performed, or to be watched as one performs a sex act. Voyerism may entail watching a sex act when the performing party(s) is not aware. Ethics not withstanding this is technically against Erosian policy, as all parties are not consenting. However, as long as no federal, state, county or municipal laws are broken to engage in voyerism, exception may be made in this case. Exhibitionism or the performance of sex or the exposure of one's genitals for sexual titillation is entirely acceptable, and a wonderful way to express desire or to reach a large number of people sexually. Care however, should be taken to insure that you are not placing yourself in any danger legally or physically, as there are unstable, non-Erosians who do not follow a code of conduct regarding sex. Q - Racially Motivated S (or RMS): This is sexual excitement due to the racial origin of one's partner or the subject of sexual material. Usually race will refer to the major breakup of the Earth's races, however this can further be defined as specific nationalities. For general purposes, I have included a general list of the world's major races. Please feel free to inform the High Temple of Eros, should you find other that have been excluded. 1. Negro (African/American) 2. White (of Anglo/Saxon origin) 3. Hispanic (of Latin origin) 4. Orientals (of Indo-Chinese origin) 5. Europeans (any European sub-cultures) 6. Asian/Indians (any Asian/Indian sub-cultures) 7. Other (Please report to HTE) These are the current categories for Erosian inclusion, but as stated before this list is far from complete. The Code is the basis for study within the Erosian Community. Students, as well as initiates, must choose at least one course of study from the above to persue. The basis for this knowlede is it's potential use for enjoyment and teaching to others. --
