title: [Erotica in the arts and brain].
abstract: Erotic arts express the relation of a person to his or her sexual orientation. Scrutinizing works of arts of that kind could explore unanswered questions about 'normal' and 'perverse' sexuality. Beyond the possibilities of forensic psychiatry the ethical, legal, and social consequences should be more intensely studied. At the same time the employment of modern functional brain imaging techniques is also warranted in the research of eroticism.
