[Pete Seeger\*]where have all the nipples gone, long time passing Where have all the nipples gone, long time ago Where have all the nipple gone, The art department airbrushed them, every single one[/PS] A shame to cover over one of nature’s greatest creations. Nipples should not be hidden, they should stand proud so you can perch a parakeet on them. …or let you fruit bat hang from them depending on the boobage. \*With profound aploogies to Pete. ---

I’m pretty sure one is not allowed to show nipples in a catalogue. Go to a UK website for underware like say Agent Provocateur and you will see that not all freedom loving nations are prudes. ---

I don’t like this business of hiding women’s nipples. Guys have nipples, too. That means that if guys were unable to satisfy their nipple jones by looking at women’s nipples, they might be driven to pull up their shirts and STARE AT THEIR OWN NIPPLES. And that would be … so wrong. ---

The female nipple is the line between “OK” and “porn” or “nudity”. That’s why people can wear almost nothing on tv and at the beach, but once the nipple sneaks out, everyone goes to jail. Male nipples aren’t pornographic. I dunno why. ---

But isn’t that like a double standard then, **Kalhoun**?😕Why are women’s nipples pornographic but men’s nipples are not?😕 IDBB ---

I must be looking at a different Victoria’s Secret catalog, cuz there’s jammies on page 9. However, I am finding shadows of nipples through some mesh and sheer items. None erect, mind you. And I’m only up to page 30. I’ll keep flipping through, and let you know if anything else comes up. ---

Umm, since we’re in a general discussion about nipples now, did anyone catch that “Making of…” video on VH1 with J-Lo? I missed it, but my wife started shrieking with laughter in the other room: apparently Ms. Lo hired a man to “tweak her nipples” so that they would look perky for the shoot. My new dream job … Oh yeah. My question. Is that for real? WTF? What about Mr. Affleck? ---
