Well, honestly, you might have a problem of some sort. I remember two instances, the massage thing for one, when I said that I didn't feel comfortable with a women giving me a massage and you jumped to the conclusion that I had some "gay tendency" thing.

Back on the Sexy Hair Spray thread you posted something similar to me about the "gay" thing. I was a little confused as how you got that from my posting, so I did wonder what things do bother you.

That was taking it a bit far, so you might. I'm just being honest and you did ask.

Why would it be a big deal.
It's not considered porn or sexual.

If you remember correctly, you misunderstood what I was saying on the massage thing. YOU said someting about your husband remembering a sports player getting aroused being massaged by his coach and you said something about not wanting to be massaged by a female. I said that I personally would not be aroused by a member of the opposite sex massaging me. Not sure why you think I am implying you are gay over that.

As for the sexy hair spray thing, I have no idea what you are talking about. That was eons ago and I posted little on that thread.

Because, isn't posing in the nude just kind of wierd? Why would somebody want to do it?

Nudity in art is not an "our culture" thing. That has been going on for a long, long time. Has nothing to do with our particular culture, really.

Now, is nudity in art okay? That would be a whole 'nuther thread. Many Christians feel that it is okay. Many don't.

If you were a serious art student, and took serious art classes at an art school, chances are that you would be required to take a class where you had to sketch a nude. It's part of the curriculum from what I understand.

It has something to do with understanding human structure, etc.

So, do you think it is okay to pose for that? Or do you think scruples dictate that we should not do this? Do you think it is okay to have these pictueres posted as art?

True. It isn't just 'our culture'.
