A girl of your delicate sensibilities should not use google Stawks. ....................yep, they are pretty detailed, but then the Japanese look on that sort of thing rather more liberally than we do.
G'day Kopes, don't google Shunga mate.

Why ignore me?
What is wrong with using google to find out about something you have never heard of?

I'm not ignoring you. Perhaps I should have put you in a new sentence, Lyndal.
Allow me to rephrase -
I'm ignoring Gutterpunk.
And Lyndal.......why would you??!!
I already made mention that I have to basically send my eyes out to be dry cleaned, so why would you want to see it?
Google is not always your friend, believe me.

Imastawka, I was very wary about doing a search on eBay for that item number! I imagined being inundated by erotic cards (as I assumed the item to be) forever after, with emails from eBay telling me "Erotic playing cards - worth another look?" and "Erotic playing cards is no longer available, but these similar items are!" or something like that.
So... I googled, and found the item by clicking onto Picclick instead.
Based on that, definitely erotic. The images are clearly based on styles and subjects found in classical Greek history.
This is a vexed question. There's no doubt that some of the most fabulous artworks in the world are erotic. In their own place, there's no denying the beauty of many such works.
It's more about intention and use, I suppose... although separate questions about morality are always going to be linked to visual depictions of the naked human form. It can be smutty, pornographic, humiliating, risqué, school-child-naughty, humorous, moving, chilling, indifferent, beautiful, arousing, sensuous... These are risqué and I wouldn't be interested in them myself. (Yet if someone offered me Discobolus, I'd take it without a second's hesitation!)
Generally speaking, if I went to a card party and the card pack were that pack, I'd not be interested in a return match! If I went to a dinner party and the guy hosting it had a house full of naked statues and erotic artwork, with everything having some sort of phallic or yonic reference, it would seem distinctly creepy and I'd be out of there.

Why, every pack of cards I have ever seen, has a one eyed jack. Cards are dealt face up until someone gets the one eyed jack. That person then becomes the dealer. There are two, one eyed jacks per deck, normally the jack of spades and hearts, there is also one, one eyed king
