For The "Sake Of Art?"

[Ozme52]

Isn't this just Islamic values poisoning our cultures of late? Just wondering. Sweden is pretty liberal about nudity, so maybe I'm completely off here regardign the rest of the western world.

No... I don't think so. It may sound it on the surface but Islamic values would never condone allowing it.

This is a bdsm/lifestyle value... asking s/he whom you've given yourself to (as opposed to a less than willing taking, my personal perspective of how I see Islam treating women,) for permission to display what you've given him/her control of.

But you are right that being brought up in Sweden (positively) colors your perspective. In the US, while now "acceptable" for others, it's art after all, not my wife/girlfriend/daughter etc.

You can see this in the kind of 'fallout' professional women who also pose for Playboy Magazine (and if that's not outright tame and arty) sometimes have to endure.

Remember, the US was founded by religious fundamental followers. We're pretty repressed. Our politicians suffer more for being found out for being sexual beings than for graft and payola.

But let's take a straw poll

Who thinks Amber should post pictures? (Yeah, I know. I'm incorrigible.)

You all are free to vote but mine is the only one getting counted....No Oz you will not be getting any pictures...sorry.

Thank you all for your input...I share the ideals many of you do, I was in a play earlier this year with Amber in which she was partially nude. Of course I was backstage and got the best view in the house *grin*. This however I must admit has me wondering if I like the idea or not. Before going any further I want to make clear that this is Ambers decision, yes I am her Dom and I will give her my opinion but I respect her enough to give her complete latitude on this decision. Her body is long and artful, I’m not at all surprised she has been asked. In fact she has posed for a renowned local western artist before (nude) so it is not new ground. Two differences, 1) I’m in her life now (…thank you for caring enough to ask little pet) and 2) Neither her nor I know these people all that well… I just want to know she is in a safe environment an is not going to attract a stalker or something. (I mean seriously isn’t that Oz’s job?! *grin).

Anyway thanks for the input I would be interested to hear from some folks who have actually done this sort of thing.
