As the Italian sociologist and journalist Francesco Alberoni recalls in his book Eroticism , what is related to mystery is more attractive , with what is not known but guessed, with what we have not yet managed to conquer. It is also shown by scholars of the evolution of sexuality in nature: the purpose of desire is not the mere satisfaction of our impulses, but the prolongation. We are seduced by what is more of a goal than a principle.
In eroticism, therefore, the feeling of challenge is very important: thinking that there is something beyond what we see keeps the spark burning. In addition, many experiments have shown that humans tend to complete what we glimpse. If we perceive fragments in a certain way, we imagine the rest until the whole approaches our ideal, our concept of perfection. For all this, a properly undressed body is more exciting than the full monty.
