Is it real that people who watch nude pictures do not like them selves and why?

Where you have Venus, on occasion you have Olympia - at least in scholarly articles.

Mark Twain on The Venus of Urbino -
Mark Twain, in his Tramp Abroad, recorded his response to his encounter with the Titian's Venus of Urbino:

You enter [the Uffizi] and proceed to that most-visited little gallery that exists in the world --the Tribune-- and there, against the wall, without obstructing rap or leaf, you may look your fill upon the foulest, the vilest, the obscenest picture the world possesses -- Titian's Venus. It isn't that she is naked and stretched out on a bed --no, it is the attitude of one of her arms and hand. If I ventured to describe that attitude there would be a fine howl --but there the Venus lies for anybody to gloat over that wants to --and there she has a right to lie, for she is a work of art, and art has its privileges. I saw a young girl stealing furtive glances at her; I saw young men gazing long and absorbedly at her, I saw aged infirm men hang upon her charms with a pathetic interest. How I should like to describe her --just to see what a holy indignation I could stir up in the world...yet the world is willing to let its sons and its daughters and itself look at Titian's beast, but won't stand a description of it in words....There are pictures of nude women which suggest no impure thought -- I am well aware of that. I am not railing at such. What I am trying to emphasize is the fact that Titian's Venus is very far from being one of that sort. Without any question it was painted for a bagnio and it was probably refused because it was a trifle too strong. In truth, it is a trifle too strong for any place but a public art gallery.

That's part of this link - the first one I ran across - http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/arth/arth213/Titian_Venus_urbino.html





(Actually, that's an interesting article..)

I prefer real nudes over the painted or photographed ones. But if that's all I can get I'll take it.

Watching nude pictures is an art not sexual. Most of nude pictures is the female. The only female pictures could be more attractive to humankind and make people realize that female beauty is a basis of life.

My girlfriend and I went to the natural hot springs on Sunday. Everyone was naked and everyone was cool with it. Of course, the hot spring contained lithium but that's besides the point.
