So THAT'S why everyone is so scared of male nudity!
Seriously, we have to lock down at least a thread a week on the one modeling site where I moderate the nude photo of the day contest because some guy comes along demanding we stop allowing male nudes since they're all "gay."
Dead serious. Some guy started a thread last week titled "Model Gayhem" and this was the content: "I just looked at today's +18 contest results and not one female was showing her privates and barely anything below the navel was exposed but there must have been half a dozen dudes being very explicit. Is there any chance MM can start a +18 just for males to show off as I don't see any artistic value in looking at the male form in any of these explicit pictures. I'm not bashing the gays here, I'm very straight and I do have gay friends but this is becoming more of a sideshow than any art show. Don't hate but I'm just giving my opinion and spare me the "opinion jokes"."

We have to put up with that all the time.

I don't much like the impressionist era either, but that doesn't mean it's not art.
