Obviously this turkey has never set foot in a major museum! The human form is IN MY OPINION the most beautiful form in nature (unless the person does not take care of themselves). I believe that hiding it it is criminal!!! Clothes were created to provide warmth and protection from the elements. It was not because the body was dirty or pornographic.
I am so sick of the "religious right" trying to tell us what to do!!! Then again, I also believe that excessive religious practice is a result of that person trying to cover up their own sins!

Why do women always take there damn clothes off? I mean, I think implied nudity is enough. I can understand when they are donbg it for a project which could be taken as natural and beautiful, but for the most part, most of these girls and guys are taking nudes that are just NOT tasteful. Do women in particular feel they have to do that for attention? This is a very serious question, I have a lot of respect for women, I guess in a weird way I kinda feel bad...
--DJ Hello...........most of my nude work is very artistic and I enjoy that.........but for real Modeling work,,,,,,,,,,You have to keep the clothing on...........it all depends on the assignment...............

Why are boy nips ok and girl nips naughty? Oh I dunno, maybe because men get more aroused from the female nip than women get aroused by seeing a man's nip.

. . . it is somewhat disturbing to see young gorgeous women being bamboozled into doing a nude session with a PWC (pervert with a camera). I too would never have wanted to watch Helmut Newton work. Or Man Ray.

Secretly, I too wanna be a GWC like GWC (Slammin'!) or anyone else.

I suspect that many are using the "artistic nude" angle
for many, it's just mirrors and smoke, a great way to rationalize their well hidden perversions.
I maintain, for many it's a "dog & pony" show,"

Nick ".. women being bamboozled"????
Do you really mean to say that "young gorgeous women" who model are too stupid and naive to think for themselves without manly protection?
You are a sexist pig.
Oink, oink, .... snort
In my humble experience, every normal woman loves to get naked. They are usually more aggresive about it than most men.

Not sure what "every normal woman" you know means exactly, but, a young 18 year old trying to break into the business is NOT just craving to get naked in front of the camera for Uncle Pervy to oink and snort.
The word is; naive, one who shows a lack of experience, wisdom or judgement, they are often naturally innocent to some of life's circumstances.
They are often unfamiliar with the ground rules and what is expected of them and are easily persuaded to do things because some Slick is making false promises of stardom or whatever. The syndrome is not an unfamiliar one, hence, the "casting couch" scenario.
As far as the name calling and bantering pig noises, this is obviously a topic that has hit a raw nerve with you. Interesting...

If you want to know that there are actual fine art nude photographers who aren't perverts, go to Community Zoe ... or www.coolfotofeature.com ... those are elegant nudes ... very creative, very well done ... I pose nude, and I'm not going to stop doing that or getting tattoos or being pagan just because it gets someone else caught up in their jock strap. Nemi

look at your thinking, your reasoning your rational or there lack of?
PEOPLE do what they do because THEY want to!
Some are unfortunatly pursuaded for the wrong reasons, but all in all, CHOICE is the overiding factor.
get over it.
Who are you to say something is or isnt tastfull (sure it is your opion, your entitled to it) but dont be 'feeling sorry' or judging someone else's choice.
We live we learn, sometimes we dont learn, but we live.

Either you like it or you don't. You pose nude or you don't. You take nude photographs or you don't. You drink beer or you don't. I like Vodka,nudity and taking pictures. Not in that order though. No reason to make an issue of it. I don't understand why people jump out of perfectly good airplanes, but I don't try to understand it either. Relax. Take pictures. Enjoy life. Couldn't have put it better. It's all about preference and who are we to judge it . If you don't like it don't look!

--DJ I agree with you there Darrin and support you on that issue. That is 'implied nudity' is enough.
I like artistic nudes that are tasteful but there are HEAPS of shots on this site with TASTELESS women topless or showing their vagina's or both that just isn't necessary. They clearly have no respect for themselves.
I do have respect for women and there are a LOT of women who actually have respect for themselves on this site and state in their profile that their not interested in topless or full nudity.
If women don't mind showing themselves off topless or fully nude which is the Maxim, Playboy, Penthouse style and there are photographers out there who want to shoot them let them do so. Their choice 'both' the model and photographer.
But personally I'm not interested in topless, tasteless shots. Although I do like sexy, sensual shots but again in my opinion theres no need to have a women topless and/or showing their vagina in full view to achieve sexy shots that will sell.
Some of the shots on this site aren't creative talent but just tasteless porn shots.

They clearly have no respect for themselves. There are many who consider bikinis as swimwear tasteless; does that man that everyone who wears a bikini "clearly [has] no respect for themselves"?
There are many who consider women with uncovered faces immoral; does that man that every woman with an uncovered face is immoral or has "no respect for themselves"?
"Taste" is highly subjective. You're imposing your interpretation of "tasteless" on others, then projecting your interpretation of their beliefs, ignoring their beliefs entirely.

It's the same reasoning you used, just a different arbitrary line.

I have to agree...a woman completely nude is nowhere as appealing as a woman partialy dressed. This is why I insist they wear high heels and nothing else.

We all respect you for not showing us your vagina. Damn! She's funny too!
P.S.: I like it when Nerlande takes her clothes off - even though I never get to take the pics. She has cutie booty. All hail the cutie booty!
P.P.S.: Someone in here said we have to call it vulva. Apparently use of the term vagina to describe the external female genetalia is incorrect. And my dear departed momma said I would never learn anything useful with my photography!
P.P.P.S.: Where's Swinsky ... damnit man, how much did you pay her to fly to Florida? I have $58.00 in my washeteria quarter jar - will that be enough?

Why do guys drink beer and look a nekkid women? Because we like to dammit. Some women are proud of themselves and like to show off. Would you show off your new home and not open the drapes? Oh hell no. Bad comparissons but oh well
