A model was arrested for posing nude at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Yesterday afternoon, Hyman, who has shot nudes in Times Square, in the subway, in a church and other public spaces without complaint, entered the museum with Neill and his support team. At what Hyman thought was the appropriate moment, Neill shed her dress and the photographer got to work. Seconds later Neill donned her clothes and Hyman handed the film to an aide.
I like Zach Hyman’s work. Oh to be young with nude models…
We need more art and less pettiness. A nude body should not be a cause for alarm unless it’s mine.
Logging you in...

Why is public nudity so feared?

That was the funniest thing I read today. I live in San Francisco, and here, if you're a man, you can legally be naked in public so long as you're not erect (at least, that's what the police officer at the farmer's market told my neighbor when somebody called the cops on the male nudists at the nut stand, no pun intended).
"Right or wrong, we come up with an ingrained notion that nudity = sex. It's not enough to scold people and say it shouldn't be that way. For us, it is that way. By the time most people are adults they really don't have much choice in how they think about such things. (mikespeir)"
...and they won't, so long as folks like you complain about folks like Hyman, who are at least bringing the question to the table and challenging the status quo.
"I'm arguing that our society sees it that way and there's no compelling moral argument for why this thinking should be challenged by deliberate offensiveness. (mikespeir)"
Yet, when Hitchens, Harris, Dawkins, et al. challenge religious absurdity via deliberate offensiveness, you approve?

Naked bodies skeeve me out. Mine, my lovers, everybody's. Just keep them to yourselves until someone asks, please? (Note: breastfeeding is so not included in my personal squeemishness - Boobs serve a purpose other than sex and going to the bathroom.)
