Noticing that one or two apes managed to get all the candy, we threw a piece to one of those not in the main group. She gobbled her candy, but then offered her butt to the bigger male from the main group who rushed over and mounted her. His coition lasted all of ten seconds, so I'm thinking it was less sex than power that required satisfaction, just like his supposedly more evolved relatives.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-25624722177471318692017-10-30T15:09:12.366-05:002017-10-30T15:09:12.366-05:00Don't really buy the notion that artistic rend...Don't really buy the notion that artistic rendering of female nudes over the centuries is just another example of men 'objectifying' women. Or that rich boys being boys who want to look at female flesh are the ones who have through the ages been art buyers. Thinking about a famous collection of public art, that adorning the Piazza della Signori in Florence, the only female I recollect is a Sabine lady struggling in the arms of her Roman rapist. All the other figures are men: David guarding the door of the Palazzo Vecchio, Cellini's Persius waving the head of Medusa; Neptune and his helpers, etc. Also most of the figures in the Bargello, the sculpture museum, are male.<br /><br />I'm more inclined to the view that renderings of the human form are more challenging for the artist than bowls of fruit or landscapes, although it would be futile to dismiss entirely the notion of sexual motivation. One thinks of the carnal manner in which a famous artist was said to gain inspiration.<br /><br /> "As Titian was mixing rose madder,<br /> His model was up on a ladder.<br /> He thought her position suggested coition, <br /> So he climbed up the ladder and had her."<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-76243635419991840492017-10-30T10:19:17.649-05:002017-10-30T10:19:17.649-05:00Too bad Neil couldn't print the nekkid ladies&...Too bad Neil couldn't print the nekkid ladies' photos in the paper. They're certainly not pornographic. Interesting that the percentage of such photos in the collection being sold is so much smaller than guessed. Probably if only 5% were such, it would still seem like 90%, because of the biology of the thing as mentioned. For better or worse, bare breasts stick out.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-61375988485962141232017-10-30T07:53:24.678-05:002017-10-30T07:53:24.678-05:00Some years ago I lived overseas and my wife and I ...Some years ago I lived overseas and my wife and I befriended a local artist. Interesting guy, fascinating conversationalist. He invited us to his place for a meal. It turned out he lived in the loft of a four hundred year old building, open and filled with light. Dozens, maybe hundreds of paintings covered walls, counters, leaned against the walls. Each and every one showing remarkable artisanship - and each and every one was of a attractive nude man with an erection. It got your attention. <br />A few years later we went to the house of a gay couple we had become friends with, was invited to their house, went to the basement to see their private art collection and - you guessed it - dozens of artworks of attractive young men with erections. I will make no judgments, I'm just reporting. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
