33. This would probably be a bad time to post a nipple pic.

The last time I did that here on DU the post got hidden. A perfectly normal and utterly useless male nipple!

My personal standard is pretty low. Or maybe it's high. Mere nudity ranges from silly to high art. Harmless. Maybe even inspiring. My origins are in a culture that has few problems with casual nudity; swimsuits are always optional.

Warning, danger, Nudity:

I've posed nude for artists too, but I'm no David, especially these days.

There is a point where sex is exploitive, objectifying, dehumanizing, etc., but it's less often the internet porn site itself than the damned comments. Youtube and Yahoo! news comments suffer the same problem. There are a lot of deeply twisted and mean people here in the U.S.A.. They can't look at an ordinary news story or a picture of naked people that their own internal filth doesn't vomit out of them. And sadly, yeah, there are porn sites that cater to these twisted mean people too.

Naughty poses with statues make me laugh.

So you feel that some woman might object to porn for sound reasons el_bryanto Dec 2014 #15

There are sound reasons to object, but none to call for it to be illegal. True Blue Door Dec 2014 #17

OK - where does speaking out against the practice of porn come in? el_bryanto Dec 2014 #18
