Ryan McGinley’s photographs illustrate “What Do Women Want?”, an article on female sexuality published in yesterday’s New York Times.
“The female body looks the same whether aroused or not. The male, without an erection, is announcing a lack of arousal. The female body always holds the promise, the suggestion of sex. … Female desire is not governed by the relational factors that, we like to think, rule women’s sexuality as opposed to men’s — Really, women’s desire is not relational, it’s narcissistic.”
— Marta Meana, professor of psychology at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas
