Music & Eros

“How does music titillate the senses and transform itself into a powerful love spell? How is it possible to inspire sensuality through song? Why does music play such a major role in love? These are the questions we ask ourselves as we unearth these strong erotic effects that enflame our passions.” The exploration of musical sounds and rhythms on the human body demonstrates the influence of the aural senses on sexuality. The author Hans-Jürgen Döpp is a psychiatrist and taught at the Goethe University in Frankfurt for many years. He is well-known for his world-famous and important collection of erotic art. This work focuses on both analyses of texts and unique pieces from his personal archives, including paintings, drawings and curiosities. The reader embarks on a journey exploring the pleasures seen by the eyes, savoured in words and inspired by that music of the soul created by the senses.
