Even with bath cosmetic, you have a towel and usually to really go into the provocative territory, it has to be obvious that the male is nude.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-63476392579596130442011-02-17T07:18:02.513-08:002011-02-17T07:18:02.513-08:00Thanks for commenting, Harry.

It's interesting to hear your point of view - I had a comment on Facebook where someone was saying she didn't react as much to male nudes because she'd seen a lot of Greek statuary. But that would be very different to me, too, because it's not what you would call "provocative." In any case, definitely an article worth mentioning.Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-67681181598657175442011-02-17T05:57:34.410-08:002011-02-17T05:57:34.410-08:00Weird, huh.

On the other hand, female nudes don't get a reaction out of me, because I've been subject to the sights since a very young age.<br /><br />It's truly subconscious and it starts the moment the individual is subjected to the outer world, usually at a young age and we are all bombarded with sexual images that teaches us the gender politics of the day. Boys can stop and stare, but girls can't.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-64418349342866601252011-02-16T17:22:52.142-08:002011-02-16T17:22:52.142-08:00You're welcome, Trisha.
