Theatrical release poster art by Boris Vallejo for National Lampoon’s Vacation (Warner Bros 1983) spoofing the trope of the Conan pose or leg cling and evoking the spirit of nymphomancy – certainly Chevy Chase seems to be something of a nymphomancer for Christie Brinkley in the film
(20) NYMPHOMANCY
Bow Chicka Wow Wow
Yes – I am a nymphomancer. No – I refuse to elaborate. I’ve already said too much.
For mine is the adventurous bed and questing beast, deus sex machina and hieros gamos.
And yes – it is part of my rule in my top tens to throw in a kinky entry amidst my wilder special mentions, usually as my final (twentieth) special mention, at least where the subject matter permits.
Although seriously, there is quite a bit of justification for sex in divination or magic – and even more potential for it in fantasy. I mean, I’m pretty sure I could adapt most of Dungeons and Dragons to nymphomancy.
RATING: 4 STARS****
