Intimations of erotica

Intimations of Erotica represents the change a woman's body and mind goes through during pregnancy. It is scandalous to show a pregnant woman in a sexual and erotic light as this shatters the border between motherhood and sexuality. When a woman becomes a mother to be, the struggle for identity is intense, being a "woman" and a "mother" is often confusing and gaining back femininity can prove challenging.
