Synopsis In this series, we have critically examined the typical manifestations of erotic symbolism. The term “erotic symbolism” was first used by Eulenburg but in a narrow sense of sexual symbolism. In wider sense, it may be conclusively said that every sexual perversion is a form of erotic symbolism and the most frequent symbol is the foot and the shoe. It would seem that even for the normal lover, the foot is one the most attractive parts of the body. This book also focuses on another important aspects of erotic symbolisms – symbolisms of object and symbolisms of act – in connection with the two functions adjoining the anatomical sexual focus: the urinary and alvine excretory functions. The phenomena which we encounter are sometimes so complex and raises so many interesting questions that it is necessary to investigate them in detail.
