Merry Christmas

I realized as I was working on another piece that I wasn't going to have enough time to do that one and a Christmas piece before Christmas actually happened, so I put the other one on hold and start this. I've got a couple other ideas using this scenario, so you may see some replays over the next few years. Regardless, enjoy Santa Baby! The Coloring Book Version will be coming out soon.

Still working on the latest project. Hope to have it done before Christmas is really upon us. Not sure about physical media yet, but the digital version will be up on SubscribeStar by then.

Thoughts on Sex & Nudity

So I've been having some thoughts... Isn't that the way all of these things should start? Anyway... My thoughts are about sex, sexuality, and nudity. I have dipped my toe into nudist circles over the years, mostly trying to get past some of my Catholic and Midwestern USA upbringing and guilt. But there's something that always put me off about them. It's their repeated insistence, their mantra, that nudity isn't sexual. And to think so is a terrible thing. This is about body positivity and being one with nature and blah, blah blah... And I think they're full of shit. Oh, I'm sure a good number of them believe it, but that doesn't stop them from being full of shit.

Humans, and human bodies, are inherently sexual. It's part of evolution, because if we didn't find other humans sexually attractive, we wouldn't have overpopulated the planet as much as we have. And we are also one of the few species that has sex for fun (yes, many more species derive pleasure from sex, but few will engage in it outside of attempting procreation, or supreme boredom aka zoo animals). And, amazingly, those that do engage in sex for fun tend to be very intelligent animals, like bonobo chimps, dolphins, and beluga whales. So, unlike what they like to claim, sex, as we practice it, isn't simply animalistic, but something uniquely human.

People can be fully clothed and will still be looked at as sexual. It's not a matter of clothing, or lack thereof. It's a matter of... permission? Is that the word I'm looking for? Social propriety? Not in the outfits, but how you're allowed to act. If a woman is completely clothed and sexual comments are made toward her uninvited, that's seen as a terrible thing in most situations. But if she's wear a skimpy outfit, or not clothing whatsoever, then she's somehow asking for it.

There is a topless activist who I follow who is very much trying to bring attention to the fact that it's not fair that women don't have the ability to be topless wherever men are. I agree with her on principle. Women should be equally allowed to be topless wherever men can be. And I also agree that it's a separate issue from full-body nudity. Showing breasts is not the same as showing a penis or a vulva.

Where I differ is that it's not sexual. Because shirtless men are sexual. Shirtless men are sexualized. I mean:

There is a reason why it's a trope that there is a male shirtless scene in nearly every Marvel movie. You can practically hear all of the straight women, and gay men, and bisexuals, sit up in the theater whenever those scenes show up. It's also why lovers-of-men (so I don't have to keep listing them all) liked Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones rather than Han Solo, or having Captain Kirk getting his shirt torn, or Khan's pec cleavage, or every freakin' firefighter calendar. Lovers-of-men love men shirtless, even those who like "teddy-bear" men.

Yes, there's the element of showing manliness and virility that's been around since the Greeks carved the first pecs in stone, but let's be honest. Patriarchal western society has decided that the sexual men's breasts are fine and women's are not. And some ways it's getting worse. You used to be able to have naked breasts in a PG film back in the 70's & early 80's. See the movies "Airplane!", "Sixteen Candles", or "Shenna, Queen of the Jungle". Now they are in the much rarer fodder of 'R' rated films (I have a few other thoughts on that, but let's leave that there). Women in the 70's frequently didn't wear bras, now they not only don't go out without them, but will have extra padding to make sure their nipples are never visible. And the worst policing of such things come from women themselves!

So where am I going with this? Well, I think just a matter of honesty, I guess. No, I don't think it's fair that men get to go shirtless while women can't. But I'm also not going to say I don't have a prurient interest in the fight. I get a serotonin hit when I see naked female breasts as much as I'm sure lovers-of-men get the same hit seeing naked male breasts. And I think I should be able to be honest about that without being shamed. It's so sex-negative to talk otherwise. "It's not a sexual situation because sex is a bad terrible thing that should only be done under the covers in the dark." If we are a mature species and a mature civilization, we should very much be able to look, but not stare, comment, and definitely not to touch (without consent, that is). Unfortunately, I realize that is not the case with the world as it has been and will probably be for a while. There are men who will take it as permission to do whatever they want because "obviously she's asking for it, otherwise she wouldn't be presenting that way". And there are plenty of women who will say "Look at that hussy with her nasty boobs out, trying to seduce all the men." It's a shame, really. But at the same time, we'd probably make a little more progress if people who consider themselves allies were allowed to be honest. EDIT: Something I noticed that I'd forgotten to add. See, it's an unfortunately reality that it looks like that society, as it stands now, will be more likely to force men to cover up than it will be to allow for women to go topless. I think of a few conventions I've been to that have required men to cover their nipples in order to make costume restrictions fair. Even conventions that have taken place in cities and states when women are legally allowed to go topless anywhere men do. So, maybe it would behoove men to stand for women's topless rights in order to keep their own.

I reserve the right to change my positions if new information comes in. These are just my thoughts as of right now.
