I like the jockstrap addition Tarotbear. And that settles the whole briefs or boxers debate too. ; )

It would have been hard to draw a thong since we can't see his butt ...
PS - It actually ISN'T 'Garden of the Penises.' In Italian it's 'Jardin di Priapi' which possibly better translates as 'Garden of the Hard-ons' - it that doesn't make you laugh I don't know what would!

Looking at him now, well, he is kind of, um, virile. I wuldn't mind seeing, or making, him "happy"...
Anyway, I like erotic decks, f they are done with taste. There are so many ways of depicting human nudity in a way that looks cheapt and tawdry, and other artists have done a beautiful job of showing the hman body beautifully. No one would think of the statue of David as pornography, or would put The Birth of Venus in a locker room. So it is with the erotic decks. The Decameron is on my wishlist. I don't know how I would read with it, but I find it a nice, amusing deck that doesn't take itself too seriously...
In fact, other decks that are not specifically "erotic" decks also have many sexual insinutios... if anyone has seen the Thoth Devil... or Lust... or even the Star in any RWS deck.

Indeed one deck that depict nudity but that i wouldn't call "an overly erotic deck" is the cosmic tribe i always found it more sensual than sexual.
beauty is perhaps in the eye of the beholder but the subject to witch the eye is looking has it's importance and if it's done tastefully (read not with the aim to chock) than I'm ok with it !
the "Tarocco dei Giardini di Priapo" is on my wishlist (love Folchi) here the accent is sexual but mixed with a humours touch it doesn't take itself to serious (in my opinion) and that's a key element the message that's the intent of the creator is it fun / respectful / sensual / joy or is it the point to chock people !

LOL, I had to actually read that twice, the first time I thought it said garden of the hands-on (I am not sure which is worse giggle)

well a deck dedicated to the god of lust and fertility renowned for his huge member and the frequent use it made of it it's something else than "Hello kitty tarot" (still prefer the priapusdeck)

There is also a deck called the Tarot Sutra, but I would not call it an erotic deck, it is actually a recoloured RWS.

I quite like some of the colouring esp. the purple and dark red, these colours really glow; but I cut off the ugly fat white borders and the keywords so now it is for me just a small recoloured RWS
. I still have the book with sexual allusions and romantic advice lying around somewhere but I was not deeply impressed with it.I think the set can be picked up quite cheaply.

I am no prude but this is the ONLY deck which I was offered to buy and couldn't bring myself to..... It was HORRID (but Jardin is French BTW - Italian is Giardini di Priapo - which is only one hard-on, but several gardens, if my Italian serves......... which probably makes it worse - a wandering flasher (with particularly ugly parts, trust me on this...) traipses round everyone's gardens ?) According to Tarotgarden, "the title translates into English as 'The Garden of Priapus,' although it is often incorrectly translated as 'The Garden of Penises.'" Strength is particularly horrid.....tarotbear said:It would have been hard to draw a thong since we can't see his butt ...

I wish I'd bought it now; it seems to be unobtainable ! (e-bay. Money. Yum. When did I EVER sell a deck ?)
Some years ago there was a Kama Sutra tarot on sale somewhere, I wish I could remember where. I have got the Sutra - but it's really rather silly..... There IS the b/w Sexual Tarot which is VERY explicit but oddly not particularly distracting - a few images are on Tarotgarden.
