I'll throw my two cents in, and probably won't get liked very much for it I'm sure.

But, what the hey.   I realize, the majority of renders and images that are flocked to, posted on like mad and get the most views, are that of naked women.  I have men and women in my gallery, and to see what the effect would be, did a fully nude male, instead of a woman.   Not very much reaction, i assure you

if i place a breast or hint of one in the thumbnail, whooboy, its viewed like magic.

This tells me the obvious that we as the human race have known for centuries.  A naked woman draws attention.  Nothing new here.

I am definately not opposed to the naked female (or male) form in artwork, far from it, i think its lovely.  However, even one open as myself to flesh in artform, can get very ...... uh, tired, of the same old thing.  I think the point is, its not the naked woman thats the isuse, its the form and format.  Its sorta like looking at photo's of pamela anderson all day, and after the 100th shot of her thinking, gee, i'd rather see some tyra banks.   It just gets old, and looses the effect after a while.  Not repulsive, just "bored" with it.

In the poser gallery, i tend to totally overlook and forgive the usual naked woman.   Usually new poser users, fascinated, but who cant paint clothes.  THerefore, their renders are naked.  Heck, i did the same thing at first until i got the handle of painting and using poser.

I just suppose as a woman, at some point, i stop even looking at artwork containing the a-typical fantasy female.   When you know how a woman's anatomy really is, and its natural flaws, the absolute often pornographic presentation of a woman in the fantasy genre, seems cartoonish, and a slight mockery of the female body.  Granted, thats how it is with me, I cannot speak for others.

I got complaints of painting a big breasted woman in oils quite a while back, because on the sides of her overlylarge breasts, i painted the realism........ stretchmarks in the skin.  It is pretty sad, when the realism of a woman's body is shunned.
