fluffy_hime Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Ee gads! I have never responded to this thread! Well, I love the human body. It's beautiful. I love to draw it. However, I don't like viewing male bits. They just look funny. I avoid it if at all possible. As others have said, I like the artistically represented naked body, as opposed to something out of Playboy. And I'd have to go with appreciating the female body more. I just find it more beautiful, with the delicate parts and slight curves. The curve of the waist/hip is one of my favorite. Link to post Share on other sites
KAGU143 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I go to bed for the day and wake up to find Flock of Seagulls all over my AVEN. Maaaaaaan.Cate Mine? MINE? Mine? Mine? Mine!

weirdchick098 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hmm, the recent posts' topics seem to be a mixture of nudity and Flock Of Seagulls... Combined, could be very detrimental for your health. ANyway, I think the female body is beautiful, as long as there are strategically placed undergarments dotted around it. I also find the male upper body a very beautiful thing... But I would much rather not see any private bits and bobs. :shock: Link to post Share on other sites

Scabs Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 a "sexy" pose doesnt quite fancy me, its kinds of like the body is saying " look at me im sexy, want me!!! " True, true onyx. I've always found people who try to be sexy end up looking like moronic douchebags. Link to post Share on other sites

Silly Green Monkey Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 There's a picture on one of the art teachers' door at my college, which shows a bunch of naked art students (some wearing socks, guess the floor was cold) drawing a clothed subject. I'm not sure if any here would be offended by it, I thought it was a funny role reversal. Link to post Share on other sites
wombat Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I really don't mind nudity. I personally think the female body is very pretty. I also have my own little "Naked time!" but...i'm very much so alone. BUt...ah. I personally have to say....It's all about that part in dogma...where alan rickman pulls down his pants! "I couldn't even rape you if i wanted to! ANGELS...are ill equiped....see...*pulls down pants*....I'm as anatomically correct as a Ken Doll.....just look at my suit!"

bard of aven Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Dogma? I am God. It's a palindrome. Back to nudity. I enjoy looking at fully grown human bodies of either sex and virtually any size and arrangement of parts, in any state of dress or undress. (I don't even like being in the same room as children.) Locker room nudity ceased to bother me as soon as I got over my shame about the size and shape of myself. Skin is endlessly interesting. Nudity in painting or sculpture bothers me not in the slightest, quite the opposite. Most pornography and most graphic depictions of artistically redeemed sexual activity, the same. Just because I like to look does not mean I want to do. boa Link to post Share on other sites

kbrd143 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I have never connected nudity to sex. A body without clothes is simply a body without clothes and, as with any object within my realm of observation, I will either find it aestheically pleasing or not. Going back a page or two in the posts, I am most likely to be attracted to someone while they are clothed. Something about the drape of the fabric hinting at what lies beneath can be quite arousing. The punchline, however, is that to my mind what lies beneath is exactly the same on all of us -- there might be a bit more of this here and a bit less of that there, but it's all based on the same basic, bipedal shape. While covered in clothing, why, anything at all might be under there! Out of the clothing, well, oh, I've seen that before. . . Link to post Share on other sites
Fayetje Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I,too,am not too fond of nudity. Even being naked myself makes me feel uncomfortable. If I had things my way I would bathe with my clothes on! =D Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I can tolerate upper-body nudity. However, genitals still trigger a knee-jerk "ick!" response (Well, I don't literally shout "ick!" but it roughly describes my mental state). I would rather not look at them, but I realize this aversion to a natural part of the human body is completely irrational and a result of societal conditioning. Still, knowing that does not make my disgust evaporate. Link to post Share on other sites
Jayann Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Likewise, Earwig. Very much in agreement. Link to post Share on other sites
fluffy_hime Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 ::seconds the last two:: Female genitalia don't bother me as much because they are not as obtrusive. Or, not visible at all. Whichever.

gambit_boi Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 artistic nudity (female) is very pleasant. never got into the aesthetics of the male body, though. aesthetically, it's all about the kyrene venus. Link to post Share on other sites
Metsubo Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 artistic nudity (female) is very pleasant. never got into the aesthetics of the male body, though. aesthetically, it's all about the kyrene venus. Okay, you guys talking about the male body like this is kind of pissing me off I have more "feminine" curves than most of the women I know. But I'm a man. I'll post a picture of my waist if you don't believe(non-nude, of course, as I despise my body). The only thing about my body that differs from a woman is my lack of breasts and my penis. And you people complain about obtrusiveness, well what the hell are breasts then? Nothing but mounds of fat on a persons chest that don't really serve any special purpose. And don't say milk, because men lactate as well, so that's an untrue reason. Penii are like tails on the front, and serve serious purposes as in mating "tab a into slot b" But have big irregularly shaped lumps of fatty tissue hanging off the front of your body is just....ughh. Personally, I enjoy breasts, but for no other purpose than...er...umm....*sigh* to play with them -_- But how can you people hold the female form with such high regard like that? Edit: Tell me whats so ugly about these pictures. And how the feminine body is so superior to them.

Aeireono Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Well, being an artist, sure, I like non sexual nudity. I'd love to take a life drawing class one day, since nudes are really quite fun to draw. I just like the look of the body, personally - and this goes for males and females. I don't really think I have any preference, just so long as there isn't too much emphasis on the crotch area. So long as it isn't too sexual, I can enjoy it for artistic beauty. I don't find it disgusting if someone's just sitting there naked (hell, I do that around the house sometimes, and I don't even like my body too much!) What I don't like to see, for ither gender, is really hypersexed looking people - I like women with small breast, for example. Big ones are just... ew. I don't like really muscular men, either, unless I'm studying how muscles are arranged for artwork purposes. I've always been fond of slim men myself - Metsubo, that was a really lovely image you posted there, I think. Actually, come to think about it, that was one thing that pissed me off about some of my art books - the male drawings/models were always heavily muscled. I can see the artistic value of understanding muscle, but sometimes I want to yell "Dammit, show me how to draw slim, pretty boys for once!" Link to post Share on other sites
