Too abstract that I can't choose whether Jodorowsky was shooting fragmented freudian analysis on a woman's psychosexual journey, or it was merely a fetishistic text whose author is completely honest about its approach. Similar ideas were presented way before in the animated piece Belladonna of Sadness. But at least in that anime you could recognize the message and historical context. It feels like the writer wanted to show us how kinky this book is (or he is? who knows? some might call this the artistic material for incels). Perhaps it was a combination of two sides. Art and pure perversion going hand in hand to convey the fine line between the grotesque/ beauty, pornography/nude, doing a psychoanalysis of female sexaulity/objectifying their body forms in a lacking nuance study of kinks. I think the textual part failed at what it was trying to depict (or perhaps Jodorowsky did it on purpose, making readers question the backbone of this prose). More importantly, the illustration part is not anything more unique or separate, only being a part of the whole thing, regardless of how talented the artist was.
