The Naked Body:

[MalachiDelacot]

Ah, the eternal debate.

One part of me's all "Yeah, NAKED CHICKS!"

Another part of me's all "Ew, no, naked guys!'

And still a third part of me says "Dude, where would you hide your boner?"

 

 

I found this site today, and I believe it will take this debate to a whole new level.

 

*Found that site today* :whistling: ....yeah...right....

Marcus, while this site is somewhat artsy, it is also quite pornographic.

 

It is also ONLY women. I'm talking about both sexes here. :yes:

 

 

Thanks for the input, though! :D

If your into hardcore porn, I guess that's a site for you, but there are some very ugly Va'jay jay's on that site.

Wow, um, hmmm... thanks for that Carah... :blink:

I'm telling you, it's more than just porn! If I wanted porn, I'd just go to youporn.com!

Reminds me of Lenard Nimoy's (Spock... I'm too lazy to look up the correct spelling of his name) book featuring nude middleaged, overweight (almost morbidly obese) women (was featured on the news or something... Ok... Stop looking at me like that).

 

I'm just left asking why? Overweight people should be ashamed of their bodies. There are too many people living disgusting, unhealthy lifestyles with some derranged idea that big is beautiful. I'm not saying that the emaciated models you see in ads are any better, but surely we should be spending more time encouraging some happy medium than trying to just make people feel better about themselves.

 

For the record, not happy with myself, not even close, but that is why I am constantly looking for ways to improve. It's either that, or just spend my time being miserable or deluding myself further.

 

As for porn, it's a totally seperate thing from nudity or sex. Just about anything (yes, anything) could be considdered some form of pornography (Autotrader anyone). And as the focus of pornographic media seems to get more and more bizzare, nudity really ends up taking a back seat to whatever else people happen to be into. Take a look at hard-core Asian porn sometime, that'll make you really reconsidder things (namely your outlook on people (it's mostly that thought "people get off on this?!")). So yeah... Porn is a seperate issue, and really only features nudity as it is in relation to sex (if that happens to be your thing (as it is with most of western society)).

[Carah]

Everyone definitely has issues with their body at one point or another. As you get older you learn to accept what you have, nude or not. When I was in my teens and twenties I struggled with eating disorders, because I wasn't happy with the way I looked, especially naked. Now I love how I look, even after having a kid, with my battle scares and baby belly. I love my boobs, and bum. :biggrin:

[IndorilTheGreat]

You know Vagrant0, I find it pretty immature that you just said, "Overweight people should ne ashamed..."

 

I assume that they are, and they eat because they're sad. Just like Carah said. Sometimes it is because there are other issues in life. :yes:

 

 

Man, I'm really glad that I asked for this to be moved to the "Debates" section...

[Sharkull]

More evidence that we are living in an age of image over substance (very sad). The emphasis should be on healthy bodies, not superficial issues like looking fat or looking thin.

[Lisnpuppy]

I agree with the healthy thing. I am overweight. I know I could "look" better, though I am lucky that my husband (who whould love me no matter) has a thing for girls with meat on their bones. However that being said...due to health issues and an honest inability to change eating habits (I am diabetic and it is HARD) I worry more about getting healthy and on the right track.

 

IF losing weight (which will probably happen) is a side effect of this and getting control of my blood sugar then yahoo! But I really try not to feel ashamed of how I look. Gosh knows I have enough else to worry about. And I have seen a great many healhty, attractive people that are miserable or hateful people. If a person is good, funny and cares enough about their appearance to be clean then I will love them for it.

 

I look at myself in the mirror--strech marks from a HUGE baby (10 1/2 pounds) chubbiness, gravity taking over my chest-and I am sometimes saddened by the loss of the HOT BOD I may have possessed and 25. But I know when the people who love me look at me they dont see me anything other than beautiful.

 

Shame on you Vagrant for saying what you did. I strongly disagree!
