RALF MITSCH - WHY I LOVE SEX

In his second literary endeavor, a sequel to 'Why I Love Tattoos' (2014), the esteemed photographer Ralf Mitsch undertakes a profound exploration of a subject that has captivated his curiosity throughout his life's journey. Intrigued and somewhat disconcerted by the prevailing negative portrayals of the erotic industry and the individuals who contribute to it in mainstream media, Mitsch embarks on a mission to uncover the multifaceted expressions of eroticism in people's lives and professions.

Driven by a desire to challenge stereotypes and shed light on the diverse experiences within the erotic industry, Mitsch endeavors to showcase the stories of those who have chosen unconventional paths to embrace and celebrate their connection with eroticism and sex work. The result of this endeavor is a captivating collection featuring over 50 nude portraits accompanied by the personal narratives of individuals from various walks of life.

Through this rich tapestry of visual and written narratives, Mitsch aspires to foster a nuanced understanding of the positive and life-affirming dimensions inherent in the world of eroticism. By allowing the voices and perspectives of a myriad of individuals to shine through, the photographer hopes to dismantle preconceived notions and offer a more comprehensive view of an industry often misunderstood and unfairly stigmatized.

By presenting these intimate stories and captivating images, Mitsch endeavors to create a platform for dialogue and reflection, challenging societal norms and encouraging a more open-minded approach to the exploration of human desires and expressions. Ultimately, he seeks to contribute to a broader cultural shift in perceptions, inviting readers to reconsider their attitudes towards the erotic industry and those who passionately and authentically engage with it.
