Art history is full of biblical, mythological, philosophical, you-name-it-cal pictures where the ladies just happen to be naked. Many of them were commissioned by some of the great, serious, grown-up nobles and clerics, all the way up to kings and popes. Guess even they had some adolescent streak left in them somewhere ;o) Some of the earliest (stone age) sculpture is blatantly erotic, the pompous titles of the Playboy-style artworks only arrived when westerners had decided that erotic meant naughty - the oriental cultures seem to have taken a far more mature view of things (probably the reason their erotic art does NOT look like teenage boy fantasies all the time LOL). Speaking as a deranged european, I'd suggest simply accepting erotic images - if you like the content, enjoy, if not, look at the pictorial qualities. If there aren't any, look at something else ;o)
