Abstract

This essay explores the western conflict between artistic sexual aesthetics and the philosophical study thereof. The author cites Friedrich Nietzsche in highlighting the strange disinterested separation western art has placed between sexuality and art. The Eastern theatrical genre of ars erotica, as seen in China and India, is described and investigated as an example of the integration of sexual aesthetics and art scholarship.
