Occasionally I wandered in where I was not wanted and gave truthful answers.
Sometimes I even did it deliberately. A little disruption now can prevent disaster later.

Casually

Yes, I know this one is staged. But it is the casual acceptance of nudity that I'd like to see more often. We're born in our skin, we shouldn't be ashamed in it.

I’m a naturist in both senses of the word. Life doesn’t always need clothes. I admire the human body. I hope you can too.

Rocky river

“In which John Green teaches you the history of the Indian Ocean Trade. John weaves a tale of swashbuckling adventure, replete with trade in books, ivory, and timber. Along the way, John manages to cover advances in seafaring technology, just how the monsoons work, and there's even a disembowelment for you Fangoria fans.”

Power trio

An unusual picture that is just about friendship, not fashion or titillation. Going by the amount of pubic hair, the jewelry, and the feathered hair, I'd say late 1970s to early 1980s.

❝Dianna and Actaeon❞

This is one of Titan's more famous works.

We've definitely moved into the Rubenesque Renaissance. No near waifs here.

What's most interesting about this piece is how it lowers Diana to not only mortal, but to the sensibilities of the time. There is no way that a Lady God would be embarrassed if caught nude. Gods make other humans embarrassed, not the other way around. Nude women bathers were a common motif. I suspect it had something to do with the real ladies being covered up most of the time. Note also that the one servant on the right isn't treated as a "real" woman, she isn't sexualized. That was also fairly common.

Skinny dipping

The simple fact is that genitals are no more sexual than any other part of the body--until we use them for sex.

“This week, Mike Rugnetta is teaching you about mythical gardens and caves, which appear in cultures all over the world. Caves and gardens can stand for different things, but in the two stories we're talking about today, they tie into the creation of the world in general, and the origins of humans in particular.”

That smile

I do not usually do carnal pictures. TPY is not a porn site.

But lovers are certainly everyday nudity. The smile does more to sell this.

And yes, I know it's posed. It still delivers.

“Zeus and Antiope”

I think it's vital to have friends outside your faith and outside your work. It helps you to balance. We need people we don't agree with but still trust to keep us out of the ego traps. We need other outlets for our passion just to keep ourselves fresh.

"The Woman, the Man and the Serpent"

John Byam Liston Shaw was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and worked in a wide variety of mediums. Today he's best known as a teacher and not an artist in his own right.

Obviously this is a depiction of the Garden of Eden. Pay special attention to how the man is so passive, even to the point of being hidden behind the woman. He's still tense and resisting, but he obviously doesn't want to be there. This is emphasized by him being in the shadows.

The woman is embracing life and blossoming right before our eyes.

At the lake

Karel Tondl was a Czech artist and art professor whose later work was influenced by expressionism. Perhaps he's best known for his depictions of female bathers.

Notice how the emphasis on bulk lines hints strongly at both motion and emotion.

Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
