What, you never heard of swimming nude? Some swimsuits are called “swim skins.” Some are literal skin. Q.E.D. ---

> [@somepumpkin](#): > > At times I was being sarcastic, to (attempt to) make a point. So I’ll condense it down to this statement; I would posit that any woman who does this is cheapening herself and contributing to this overly sexual view of women. For her to have just been one of these objects, this action seems very short-sighted. > > No sarcasm. This statement is sincere. > > I’m not tempted. I’m happily married. And she’s too young. What would we talk about after sex? Perverts? Sorry for the double post, but it occurs to me that Mister Rogers would be very disappointed in you. ---

The best kind of mansplaining is nominally pro-feminist mansplaining. ---

The OP is “pittin that bitch!” and blaming women for inflaming men’s lust. The OP is contemptible. ---

> [@storyteller0910](#): > > Being sexy - even being sexual - is not inherently cheap or degrading. Unless, you know, that’s what you’re into. We could try cheap, at least. Ok, in all seriousness, I’ve posed nude several times. For the sake of all involved, it was indirect media such as painting or drawing most of the time. One of the only moments where I felt bad about it was when I happened to be present when my wife was presenting her work to a gallery owner. They saw one of the nudes (which was only one of the collection being shown) and basically clutched their pearls while exclaiming “We don’t do male nudity here!”. Ummm, lady, I just browsed several prints (limited originals, not copies) in your collection for sale that were worthy of 80’s Penthouse for the graphic gynecological info they provided. A flaccid doodle is really just too far? People have stupid fucking ideas about what constitutes acceptable nudity. I wondered how many of the other people I had posed for had run across this lady. I certainly saw none of their work for sale. I did see the work of other artists that I knew, that I hadn’t been asked to pose nude for. I mean do you think that [Double Portrait of Birdie](http://www.larryriversfoundation.org/seminal_works_double.html) somehow objectified women? Or Humanity? Or being old? If not, why? She’s certainly showing more than Ms. Raisman. ---

is this the "in her own words " thing where she gets her mission statement written all over her body while posing soft core style ? ---

Unfortunately, we live in an oddly puritanical society where an exposed breast is a bigger deal than depictions of gratuitous violence. ---
