I really like the erotic use of blank white (or Eyes Wide Shut–esque) masks in film &c, because it's so counter-intuitive. First, a mask eroticizes the masked person not by showing anything risqué, but by hiding even more of their body. This it has in common with religious veils.

@DegenRolf recently tweeted about a study suggesting half-concealed faces are seen as more attractive, which, if true, unveils (pun intended) the veil's nature. Your idea seems to have been vindicated. ;)2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes

In a similar vein, men were more sexually aroused by images of nude women who had their face blurred.https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1099561642298359808?s=20 …
