Vintage erotica of the week: Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife

Yeah, it’s an actual weekly feature! With thousands of years of recorded human history to choose from, I probably won’t be running out of material any time soon.
Someday soon, I’m going to write up a history of tentacle porn, which is actually a product of a very interesting period of Japanese and American history. For now, I’ll leave you with the most famous erotic tentacle image in the world. Although it's a well-known image, it may violate my blog host's content policy, so I'm going to link to its NSFW wikimedia content page.

This woodblock print is by Hokusai, who's better known for his Views of Mount Fuji series (including The Great Wave off Kanagawa). It’s arguably not the first piece of tentacle erotica in Japanese art, but it’s usually cited as a precursor to modern tentacle porn. You can read more about the print’s history here.
