Strange this whole sex thing. In my home culture men could not care less about breasts so far as I know. Once when I was traveling a german tourist asked me why women in chador were whipping out thier breasts to nurse kids in crowded trains and taxi vans without covering up at all. In the Middle East and Central American I have seen women go around trying to show how chubby they are, I guess TV will change that. I had to move my "P5 genitals to Millenium Figure" product to another store after it was pulled here... I have not ever used them for a sexual/erotic render myself, they are simply to provide proper anatomy for the "art school"-style nudes I do. I didn't complain a peep as I feel most definately that a store has the absolute right to choose what they want to carry, I just wish I could filter out the freaky "School Girl" "baby toon" and most especially the scary hardcore bondage and torture stuff I have to see thumbnailed in the MP all the time (Yes, I know I can turn off thumbs but with the unclear product naming there how would I know what to even peek at?). Bottom line... is purience in the intent... where does erotosim begin and beauty fall off. Some people are much more stimulated by a shoe or tube sock then a breast or other body part, many people in the arts are indifferent to nudity completely... from being a dancer and traditional "real world" artist studying then teaching figure painting, seeing someones "private" body is of little consequence to me, erotism comes from how one relates to a vision or image. The real question here is who is into this as art, as technical chalenge, as porn? Is there any significance to these differences ultimately? That said I apreciate the nudity filtering here as some have personal values that limit how much nudity they want to see or if not that, then access from work or school or the family room where they don't want to have to explain the image subject matter. But why a double standard when it comes to torture images I do not know. I understand there has been some issues of homophobia here as well. When it comes to art and images here... I have found that anything that deviates from the hyper-real "no depth of field", no postwork ideal is resoundingly ignored... when was the last time you saw something here that wasn't that way? I Painter8 my renders, I photoshop cartoon and and wirewireframe outline previews, I do digital watercolors, I print out and manipulate the images and scan them back in, but I don't bother to post them anymore, no one comments or views those at all :(
