No eroticism present
Me in a photo booth 10 years ago.If societal values cause the viewer to assign their meaning to my pic - is it my fault? There was no arousal present when the booth and I hooked up.

hahah
yes, how many computers saved it?
Because - "it's okay for a man to show his breast but not a woman."
jozee: who says it's not OK? Here in Ontario it's perfectly legal for a woman to show her breasts in public. No eroticism present — the law was enacted for the benefit of nursing mothers.
On the other hand, there are a lot of men who shouldn't be showing their breasts in public.
"You shouldn't be posting that here"
LOL
I will/WE will post WHAT WE want!
I love you for it, JO!
Thanks guys. Proud nursing mother (past tense) but before this pic.I have to travel to Key West to be topless legally in this country.
I'm happy you talk about that because I've been thinking about posting nudity a lot in the last weeks, and discussing it with my sis too. My thinking is:
I'd love to try to do nude pics. I have no model for the moment, so I try some with my own body. And my thinking made me decide that I was going to post, but without saying it is me, because I want people to look at the pic as a nude, as art, not at me in particular.
Then, I saw some arguments opposite to the fact of nudity. And now, for me, it's kind of a social point.
And OMG, if the pic is good, what the ek! (sorry, I dont know how to spell ek)
heck!
Yes, art stirs controversy. ask Prince.
Jozee: So does architecture. Ask Prince Charles :-D
The late, great art historian Kenneth Clark wrote that a well-executed nude, whether it be sculpture or painting (or, I suppose, photography) should stir an erotic response in the beholder. But reading between the lines, I think he intended that to be a more subtle and refined feeling than just plain horniness.
You're right Gary. It's not bad to find a pic erotic. The respond of the public is a thing. And the intention of the artist is another thing.
In other words, finding something erotic doesn't mean that the artist had the intention of doing something erotic.
Only one copy of that title left!
Thank you Gary.
You are a wit!
I don't have this one, I'm buying this book!
Jo, call me tomorrow atleast a couple of hrs before you want to start getting drunk. I have to drive from Manchester.
Um, and I have to drive too. So a drink and a chance to meet you. I'll call.
Awesomeness!
I'll be waiting for the call.
