Still, my point is, as stated above, I do not understand the mentality of someone who goes through all the work and trouble of creating a statue, and then deliberately decides to make it naked. Why?

Can you see no beauty in the naked human body? Do you think the only reason that an artist would render a nude is to arouse others? Do you think Michaelangelo's David would be the same work of art if he were wearing a cloak or shorts?

There are just some folks who think that nudity, in and of itself, is obscene. I disagree though. Nudity is nothing evil, though -- it's 100% natural. Americans tend to be puritanical and very uncomfortable with nudity in general. I don't understand why, but they just are.

So tell me who's more sexually moral? A person who is comfortable with the naked human body as God made it and does not equate nudity with lust, or someone who's on the verge of "pitching a tent" at the sight of a metal breast?
