Its so sad that repression and predators and mental illness have made it so that even the most innocent beautys motives need to be questioned.
I realize that nowadays its better to be safe than sorry......but I just find it sad. There are pictures and paintings throughtout history where the children happen to be naked, which is not necessarily the focus and is incidental. But the world has become so corrupt and paranoid and litigious now. Prohibition seems to constantly outweigh education.
It just bums me out. It would never occur to me, unless someone pointed it out externally, that looking at a naked, innocent cherub in a painting in a fine art museum is offensive, sexual, or inappropriate, and to me thats the equivalent of a tasteful fine art photograph that you might find in a modern gallery that happens to depict a naked child.
I think that the idea of sex floats through most peoples head fleetingly, because we are humans, were very visual, and were a reproductive species - but not like a desire, more like an awareness of our biology.
I know that there are child predators out there... Im not naive. Im just saying how unfortunate it is that everyone has to think like a victim at all times, no matter what were doing.
So tiresome.
