This is a very well thought out post. Although I confess that I may think it as such because we have similar views.

To me the human body is beautiful and is my personal favorite thing to draw. I myself have never really understood what the big deal about nudity is. It's harmless really since were all naked under our clothes.

I think one of my favorite art piece of all time is a Waterhouse painting called Hylas and the water Nymphs. If you don't know it, It's the one with seven very human very naked water nymphs are trying to seduce a passer by to join them. The image is so beautiful and soft, I feel it really portrays the female figure in a positive light as well.

While the Nymphs are visually naked and in the act of seduction I have never got an erotic feeling from it. As strange as it may sound it seems even pure.

Thats just my thoughts on it though.
