Women on a Couch

     Well, here is a reproduction of a painting by Modigliani of a nude woman on a couch.  Sweet, huh?  Kind of innocent and tender?  She does look like she is gazing back at the male viewer, and is posed on the couch in such a way as to indicate she is ready to be seduced.
     Okay, does anybody see anything wrong with this?  No, not really?  So, this is okay, and acceptable? 
     This painting has been shown in public galleries and museums.
     Okay, so no big deal..
    
     Well, what about this image?

   
     It's pretty much the same thing.  Is it porn?  I don't think so.  It doesn't really show any thing except a butt on a body of a beautiful woman.
 
     Well, how about this one?

     When does an image become porn?  Some people think that all three images are porn.  I know people like that.  I also know people who don't think anything immoral about these photos at all.
     In all three cases, it pretty much looks like the model has agreed to be there, and has also agreed to be painted or photographed.
   

       This one would be considered more of a porn photo, but it is also a vintage photo, and has historical value.
       It's good to know women back then weren't all a bunch of stuffy prudes, like they would have us believe.

     This one is pretty innocent, but she has a 'come hither' look on her, indicating to the viewer that she wants the person to come over and be close to her in more ways than one.

          Some would think this is porn, but this is a painting by Courbet called 'The Origin of The World' painted around 1850.
 

          Yup, she is pretty naked there, but it isn't even necessarily all that sexual of a picture.

          This picture is kind of sexual with the way her legs are, and the fact that she has high heels on indicates she wants some action.  In other words, she isn't there to just take a nap.

  

Here is a picture of what can happen later, after the woman is on the couch.

   Here is two women.  The person who took this picture was probably a man, so, there is still a guy involved in this image. 
   I'm a guy, and I'm assembling and writing this blog.
   Also, I would guess that most of the people who will some day look at this blog entry will also be male.
   I have found over the years that a lot of women like to look at pictures of women, too.

   There is nothing really wrong with any of these pictures, except that they should be kept away from people under 18.
    I lived in Utah, and I knew underage guys looking  porn in while they were in grade school and junior high.  I don't know how they got it since it was pretty much a Mormon community.
   So basically, if a person under 18 really wants to look at porn, they can easily.  It's all over the web.

   Yet, all these images were incredibly taboo for me to look at, and they were forbidden.  It was considered non-Christian.
   They didn't even have magazines when Christ was around, much less porn.
    I've read The Bible, and Christ never told anyone not to look at porn.

      A woman giving a blowjob...is that wrong?  Should it be photographed?  Well, almost all men want blowjobs, and a lot of women like to give them and make their man happy, or, they just like it.  Some women like the feeling of a dick in their mouth.

     Here is a good couch picture.  Pretty cute, huh?  This one looks like she is in hotel.

  This raven looks like she is ready.

   This woman looks like she doesn't need help from anybody else.

So what do you think?  What I think is after you look at enough pictures of bodies, you begin to see that they are just bodies, and that people are beautiful.  It's actually the clothes that can often sexualize the figure, and also indicate how much money is involved. 
     The girl on the beach just looks happy and relaxed, in tune with nature.

     Enjoy the human spirit for what it is.
