Would You Put This Fountain In Front Yard ?

Not to be contrary, what is the difference between a cement statue of a naked person or a picture of one or a playboy picture? I'm serious, I don't understand the difference.

I know people who have no problem with strip clubs, nude pictures and have no problem with naked "art". In Paris, porno is on TV for all to see, so excuse me if I don't value their moral opinion.

A good friend from Austria told how she learned to walk down the street not looking left or right because of the amount of pornography everywhere. And I'm talking in the widely socially accepted definition of pornography.
But I'm sure they are just so much more culturally advanced and open minded and I'm just a "repressed puritanical prude". So be it.

There was a time when if a woman showed a ankle she was a harlot, never mind a shoulder. Victorians had very stuff views on the human body.

This is where I'm coming from, and what I believe, your views may be different.
God created the first humans, they were naked and He said it was very good.
Then they made a rebellious choice and God had to clothe them.

I'm not a Victorian. People have screwed things up since the beginning and we aren't done screwing things up and getting the right things wrong.

There was also a time when the empowered were having sex within their own families & making their servants have sex with them. Still doesn't make it correct. WW1 was because of the queen Elizabeth family fighting over inbreeding rights. Wars are caused by the rich, paid for by the poor.

My friend is a very high end antique dealer. All of the famous interior designers buy from him. One day I was at a antique show when he found a great painting. He believed it came out of a Venation palace painted in 18 century. It was 2 lovers in a garden, over head watching them was 2 naked cherubs. He thought the painting would fly out of his shop. Many people looked at painting but no one bought it. Because I was with him when he bought the painting I had a interest in it selling. After about 8 months with lots of people looking but no one making offer he had a artist paint fig leafs on cherubs. A week later painting sold for $40,000. He told me painting was to big for a bedroom, people did not want penis in their livingrooms. It is funny because I a drawing that won 2nd place at San Francisco art show.The artist is now famous for his Disney work. I would not hang in my livingroom but bedroom ok
