Well, I'm not attracted to women at all, so that's not why I use them in my images, and I've been using nudes in my pictures long before I started doing digital art or using Poser, so it's not the easy availability of Naked Vicki that encourages me. I tend to see the human body as an object of art, actually. Perhaps this is because I studied fine art and you see so many nudes it becomes a non-issue. I am certainly aware that there's a sexual element to many nude figures, but I just see that as part of the art. Sexuality is part of life, part of who we are. Of course, there's no reason that nudity has to necessarily be equated with sex. There are many situations in which a person might be naked or partially naked, but most of those situations don't automatically lead to sex. So, well, nudity is nudity. Most of the time my reaction is along the lines of "big deal, what else you got?" meaning, interesting lighting, good postwork, something beside Yet Another Naked Vicki to get my interest. bonni
