It occurred while reading reach's 'Self-Body image' thread that some members might like to post more revealing pics of themselves for the benefit of their self-esteem (as was done without ceremony by sexkitten, no offence intended kitty!) or just to parade around and play 'look at me' (hey, why not! we're all adults here and there is nothing wrong with the naked body, IMO)

Express your thoughts and/or concerns....and remember that it would be a thread for TASTEFUL pics, not a freakin' porn thread! lol

I'm cool with it as long as it doesn't end up just being a lot of dudes taking pictures of their Woodrow and posting it here.

Posted by: Lokmer May 6 2004, 12:24 PM
The thing is, Muggy, both of those women who are dressed weirdly who you posted pictures of --- both of them would look very good naked, in just a simple basic nude pic (and both would be excellent models for painting). They obviously are not inhibited, since they can be playful enough to pose in those god-awful outfits.

I think you just made the point for us. We **should** post nudes! And I'm not kidding. Brick, this is an excellent idea.

Posted by: sexkitten May 6 2004, 03:04 PM
Perhaps we need a new thread for tacky costumed pictures, and leave this one for tasteful nude pictures.


Posted by: Lokmer May 6 2004, 03:13 PM
Better yet, since this thread is actually just a poll, we should start a new one for just pics.

Reminds me of my 1st day of art school. My first class was a drawing class. Now I am not an artist but a designer by trade. When I was 25 I decided to head back to college and get my degree so here I am with a bunch of 18 year olds on my 1st day of art school and in a drawing class...suffice to say I didnt know what to expect.

Well the instructor started explaining that part of the class was still life and the other part was figure drawing, nude figure drawing. I was like cool cindy crawford! hubba hubba! well as I am having one of my hourly fantasies, this time enchanced, I noticed this guy not really paying attention to the lecture. futhermore i saw no drawing pad or tackle box. he was skinny, balding, looked like he smoked too much, and had a mullet springin from the back of head juxaposed by a shinny bald head.

well you guessed it....he was the model. my dreams of cindy in delicsous poses quickly vanquished. the guy was really really really skinny, almost emciated.

i must rather draw a womenly rubenseque figure than an emciated figure. much easier to draw. skinny guys no way.

i did get to draw Dick Bacon before he died. He was Mr. Nude America or something like that in the 50's. Cool guy.

one post-script....

when my gf and I would be driving around town i would occasionaly see some of the model I drawed. I would mention in passing that I have seen her naked, or him

shouldva seen her face LOL

Posted by: fortunehooks May 6 2004, 08:51 PM
i have no qualms about nude pictures of any members on the site. if you want to post a pleasantly naked picture of yourself,by all means do it. i only wish i could participate,and then i could hire a statistician to record the invitations from female trolls who come to the site. i don't mean to sound to boastful,but i think i have a great body.

The only way that you're going to be able to do that is if she doesn't break your fingers.

Thanks Lokmer. BTW, I hope you don't think your dark and mysterious picture you posted will protect your shy posterior. In a matter of seconds I had you laying there in all your bright, naked glory, right on my monitor, thanks to Photoshop.

Personally, I would support the idea and maybe even would participate if, and this is a big if, there was some way to restrict the thread (viewing and otherwise) to us dirty heathens or people who are trustworthy. I wouldn't mind reach taking a peek but having Aryan and some of the other virulant personalities looking over the thread would bother me.

Worst case scenario access to the list is restricted to those who participate (I really think that goes too far but it might be easier to accomplish). Frankly, I don't want my wang plastered all over the web. I wouldn't mind sharing with people I trust, knowing it would stay in that limited group, but I just am not ready to share with the world.


Posted by: Doug2 May 7 2004, 05:43 PM
Eric, I think it would be great to have a private area for just such a thing. People can be invited to it once they are known by the people on the board and we know things said, shown will be in confidence. I have held back at times from what I have said because it would reveal to much to any lurkers.

Posted by: ericf May 7 2004, 05:56 PM
Doug, maybe we should ask Dave if it is possible to set up something like that? And if it wouldn't be too much of a hassle. I don't want to create hours of work or anything.

Once it is setup I couldn't see it creating too much work. As long as the moderators who already exist could add access rights to acceptable people. It could contain all sorts of threads that just are too personal to share with the world.

Maybe it is just wishful thinking but it is nice to know I am not the only person who wonders what people are reading my posts...

Posted by: bob May 7 2004, 06:11 PM
As far as I know, none of my friends or family visit this website or even know about it. I doubt that any more than a few people in my small community have ever visited it. The pictures I have posted in the "tasteful nudes" thread do not allow the viewer to recognize the subject. It would seem to me that should be sufficient to keep us safe. Am I incorrect?

Posted by: Lanakila May 7 2004, 06:13 PM
Not only a privacy issue, but an age limit needs to be placed as well. I think for both viewing and/or posting. My ass is at the other site, and enough people have seen it already I think. I wouldn't dream of posting it somewhere that was an open to eveyone place.

Posted by: bob May 7 2004, 06:18 PM
uh...Lanakila...what other site....please...?

Posted by: ericf May 7 2004, 06:26 PM
Ah Lana, thanks for reminding me... I hadn't looked at it today. Imagine a day without looking at that glorious image. Don't worry... I rectified that problem.

It was actually that site that got me thinking about something similar over here. I have a larger post history here and feel more connected to most of the people here. But sometimes it seems less like a gathering of friends and more like an open arena. I walk naked around my house... those people I would invite into my house are welcome to see what they might. I don't walk naked into the foodstore... sometimes this place feels more like the foodstore.

Hmm, time to look at that ass again. WOW! Hot.

Posted by: Doug2 May 7 2004, 06:38 PM
I also things the mods should maintain a list of users who have access to that area and have that list available inside. Two things concern me though. The first is hurt feelings and segregation in the community. I think we can keep this to a minimum though by mods using their heads. The second thing is that I am afraid that area will become the most used area, but if that is what the people want, then so be it. This site really isn't here to be a testimony to christians anyway.

Posted by: ericf May 7 2004, 06:47 PM
Well,

I agree that it could hurt some people who are excluded. But over time, if they demonstrate their ability to join the community, they will get accepted into that area. Hmm, maybe the section could be made to not even show up unless you were part of the group. Like the moderation options at the bottom of threads... they are there for threads I start but not for ones I didn't. Do you know what I am saying?

I don't know that it would be the most used area. Maybe it will -- but, like you said, that would be because it is what the community desired. I tend to think it wouldn't because there are tons of topics that aren't personal enough for me to consider posting there. I wouldn't have posted my cousin thread in the area... I wouldn't post other things... just the really intimate stuff.

I think if those who are part of it are discrete (not talking about it like it is some club or something) many people might not even know it exists. Or if the link is visible it might be named something like (Moderator Board Discussion) and they would just assume they weren't supposed to have access. Although that implies a leadership that hides its actions which is also not desirable. I don't know... it is hard to deal with because we don't want to hurt people but we would need to discriminate somehow.

Posted by: Doug2 May 7 2004, 07:01 PM
Eric, I was thinking the same thing about it being invisible. A good idea is not to mention it too often, but it will be mentioned. We have threads like this here to insure that.

Posted by: bob May 7 2004, 07:07 PM
It doesn't even have to be mentioned at all. Kind of like a secret club that only those who are members know it even exists, though I have no idea how something like that would be made. I know my pbase galleries (where "the forum friends" pictures are) can be made none public, so that only those with the link can view the pictures...I believe.

Posted by: Dar' Argol May 7 2004, 07:15 PM
Invision PB has the abiliy to make either a "hidden" section that is acceible only through an address or to have forums visible only to certain members. I thin PB even has it set up where a member can be "promoted" to a group when he/she has received XXX amount of posts. So you could have it set up where say . . . for instance . . . once you reach 200 posts, you get promoted to this group, that has it set up in Admin controls that you have the ablity to "see" this hidden forum. And any other user group above it then would also have access.

Its also the same as a "Moderator" forum. Almost the same set up. That might be the best plan . . . Expecially if any younguns come in perchace.

Posted by: Doug2 May 7 2004, 07:21 PM
great! I think the best way is to manually add members. Just getting 200 posts doesn't mean anything in this regard.

Yeah, this is true. I know that Invisionfree boards, which I have and they are the free version of Invision Powerboards, Allows me to over-ride a users group to stick them in another while they still go through the post ranks. I think PB does it too. Bit it is a good point you make Doug2 . . . . .

is there a Doug3 I need to look out for . . . . like a update?? he he he . . nevermind . . . I'm just tired right now

Posted by: ericf May 7 2004, 07:31 PM
Yeah I agree on the manual thing. Look at how many posts some of the members that aren't really part of the community have. And it might take some people more posts to prove they are part of the group and some people will obviously fit in right away. I think it might even be wise to have a thread in the section to discuss promoting people who have less than a certain amount of posts (the mods can just promote obvious people with tons of posts) so we can talk about if they are really part of the community yet.

lol, way too much thought about this.

Posted by: Dar' Argol May 7 2004, 07:36 PM
Actually not really. On another messageboard I belong to and Moderate (Star Wars . . I'm a geek) there is a hidden area. It was created for those idividuals who as a "certain" kind of humor that is not widely accepted there. And there have been discussions within that area on who we wanted to bring in, who would fit in the mix well, who had that insane spark that the rest of us had. Now we also left it kinda open too. It is just hidden, not a view per group only thing. So if one of use posted in there and you check the last post by that member, it would show there and they could follow that link in. But usually it was only the crazy people that fit well that found ther way in

I co-admin a board on ezboard.com and within boards there you can create forums that are invisible to public and create passwords to the forum and you can select to give out the password or you have the option to manually enter the member name through the admin panel behind the scenes so that the password doesn't get out.... maybe think about it... and you can have pics on there as long as they aren't in public view and are private and out of sight.... and don't cross copyright infirngement, etc....

you could always give the link out to members you screen out that you deem reliable, the right age, etc...

consider it...

The same can be done with Invision PB, which is what this board is. Ezboard has always seemed too pop upish to me. But why change boards when the options are there on thisd one. Anywho, sorry for kinda hijacking the thread . . .

We now return you to your regular nudiness

Posted by: ericf May 9 2004, 02:14 AM
Not to continue the non-nakedness... but I think our racist friend just proved, once again, the need for a private area. Is anyone else disgusted by how aryan is destroying Bob's very personal thread?



Maybe when I get off of work this morning I will write a proposal in pm and send it to Dave for consideration. Some people piss me off sometimes.

B. don't come crying to me because you can't be bothered to supervise what your kid is looking at online!

Sorry, maybe it is just me. But you look very good and comfortable in your skin.

Oftentimes upon going outside you encounter the same risks from stinging insects and broken glass that you would if you were clothed. Hence the shoes.

I know, it looks ludicrous.

Posted by: ericf May 12 2004, 05:29 PM
Well, I am a chronic barefooter so I never wear shoes outside of work. It just seems weird. Nudists not even wearing just flip-flops most of the time... shoes AND socks seem to be standard fare...

But that is just me. I wish I had the balls (pun intended) to be naked more often.

Oh, I have tried it and I know I like it. But the situation right now is not good for it. I live at home with my fundy mother.

I used to just be naked all the time in my dorm room. And I have been naked around different people. But never outside with the exception of skinny dipping.

Posted by: yanra May 14 2004, 07:25 PM
They weren't tasteful enough I guess.

Posted by: ericf May 14 2004, 07:44 PM
lol, no it isn't that at all. I think the mods decided to pull them until they decided if they should be available to everyone. I think they freaked because a 15 year old posted on the thread -- no nudity just posted a comment -- but they started to re-evaluate if it was okay to have it in the open.

I have a feeling they will move it back -- probably with a disclaimer. Especially considering the gallery on this site has more graphic stuff.

Just pm a mod who is on and ask them to move it back, if they can. I have a feeling it hasn't been done yet because the thread was locked and the mods don't have permission to move it themselves.

Posted by: ericf May 15 2004, 03:20 PM
There, I knew they would put it back.

what would be the point, other than to arpuse each other-which would make it porn?.

It seems to me{and I'm totally cool w/public nudity} but the fact that people want it so bad on here and are winking each other, be honest guys are'nt you just gonna use it as mastabatory material, which would make it porn and expolitive itself?

Just a thought

Posted by: Doug2 Jun 19 2004, 04:19 PM
I've seen a lot of persons on this board nude, and never used it to masterbate. (Though most people on the board are mature enough to see that as a compliment even if it did happen) The point is to allow people some freedom beyond the concept that their bodies are dirty. It's great to post a pic and be complimented on it. It's fun for everyone and a good bonding and mutual reciprocity experience.

Posted by: Killswitch Jun 19 2004, 04:25 PM

Oh, and Fweetie - I look at all the pics - nude and otherwise - I'm just weird that way, I guess.

I look at them all too. I was just trying to make a point up there to someone who thinks that the pictures that are posted here are used for wacking material by everybody. That's all.

considering he's got a whoppin 6 posts it really isn't any of his business, he's free to not look at anything that bothers him.

Posted by: ericf Jun 20 2004, 12:49 AM
I will be honest and admit that some of the images members have posted have cause me to seek "release." The first one of which I never requested but was sent to. She knows who she is. The fact of the matter is that many of these images are non-sexual to me because of the connection I have to the people on this board. The people here are more family than friends.

But sometimes they are really sexy family members... ugh, incest... wait where the hell am I going with this.

Anyway, I would not encourage anyone here to post pictures because I need something to spank to. I have a perfectly good connection to the internet and can find plenty of porn when I need it. And most of the time, I don't need a visual right in my face anyway.

One of these days I will post a picture of myself... and THAT will be used by me for getting off... I am a SEXY BITCH... YEAH!!!

I've seen a lot of persons on this board nude, and never used it to masterbate. (Though most people on the board are mature enough to see that as a compliment even if it did happen) The point is to allow people some freedom beyond the concept that their bodies are dirty. It's great to post a pic and be complimented on it. It's fun for everyone and a good bonding and mutual reciprocity experience.

Excellent response - as usual.

Oh, and I think that anyone that has a problem with whether people are masturbating to anything - regardless of who, what, why, when, where and how - should take some time out of their hard-earned busy day and plow through the "do you masturbate?" thread to get over the stigma associated with that, too.

The point here also is to get over sexual repression imposed through a false belief system, is it not? Isn't it to embrace human sexuality?

Seems somewhere in my recollection - oh - a waaaaaayyyyy long time ago (and I'm an older bitch so it speaks volumes that I can remember that far back and I'm still somewhat lucid), similar words were spoken?

Hey all.
By the way I meant no offense, nor did I mean to sound like a religous prude. Though I may no longer be a christian, I don't wish to promote things that are possibly exploitive and may indeed just give fuel to the religionists to claim we all left the faith to pursue selfish lusts{as opposed to pursuing reason}.
i also did not mean to judge your hearts or intnets{as I'm not god-I don't know them}.
I meant to say that the vary posing of this question or request seems to be of an intent that we 'want' to see each other naked soley for the purpose of gettin off to each others beautiful naked bodies. I'm not a religionist anymore, but I can say that I do believe that sex is still sacred in some way and not to be treated like a game or joke. Public nudity is fine, but is the itent of the stated question of this very thread?
See, lets take nudist beaches, they are allright. The intent of it is not sexually exploitive and selfish in nature-the intent of them is to be comfortable in our natural naked state. The same goes for nude paintings and art, and if pictures could be taken and publicly displayed of nude people merely for admiring the beauty of the human body outside of dooing it for the sole purpose of expoliting ourselves and each other for selfish sexual gratification-then it would be all good.
But when I first read theis thread-it appeared to me{and forgive me if I'm incorrect} that the motive was so that we could look at each other merely as sexual objects.
I'm sorry, but I do not see objetifying and exploiting ourselves and each other as sexual liberation, I se it as sexual abuse and expolitiation.
one does not need to be a revealed religionist or moralist, one does not even need to believe there in any kind spiritualk relaity of noncorporreal beings or deity{s} to recognize these things as exploitive an aweome gift and ability-called sexuality.
We can be sexually liberated from the binds guilt,fear and confusion that religion places on sexuality, without going to the opposite extremes.

Anyways, I mean, I'm not ashamed of my natural naked being, and I'd hope nobody here is either, and if the intent has nothing to do w/exploitation-than dudes-lets go for it, but if the intent is to objectify each other as the motives of some of these posts/responses would seem to suggest-then out of respect for our sexual dignity-lets refrain.
Can we stop people from objectifying the nude pictures, well...fuck no, we can't do that even when they have clothes on in their pictures. I'm just hoping that we all wish to have nuide pictures on the net on ths site for more beautiful reasons, not exploitive ones.

Anyways, What I'm saying is just some concerns and thoughts I have., i don't mean to say it is right or wrong to have public nudity or nude pictures on here or noe, or that is morally right or wrong to masterbate as we enjoy each others beauty, I mean,. whom am I to say what is morally right or wrong?
I just merely mean to post some concerns I have about our motives, if I'm overly worried-then may I lighten up, but if my concerns are legit-may that fact show forth.

anyways, peace to you all

It occurred while reading reach's 'Self-Body image' thread that some members might like to post more revealing pics of themselves for the benefit of their self-esteem (as was done without ceremony by sexkitten, no offence intended kitty!) or just to parade around and play 'look at me' (hey, why not! we're all adults here and there is nothing wrong with the naked body, IMO)

Express your thoughts and/or concerns....and remember that it would be a thread for TASTEFUL pics, not a freakin' porn thread! lol

Iconoclastithon,

That was the first post that started this thread. The intent was not to produce pornography but to allow people to love their body image.

A person does not need to be those things to "recognize" that. But it doesn't make it true and it doesn't mean that everyone recognizes it. Naked pictures, even those meant to be "invigorating" are not exploitive... I believe we have covered this before on a thread. There is no universal law that makes posing nude for other people a losing experience for anyone. You may, personally, believe that -- and you have a right to -- but that doesn't make it universal.

The motive was increased self-esteem. In many cases you see comments expressing that someone is very sexually attractive... in many of these cases the comments are made because sometimes people want to hear them. People want to be told they are attractive and hot. No one here is an object or is exploited.



So, does this mean you won't be posting a picture?

Posted by: Iconoclastithon Jun 21 2004, 12:11 PM
Thank you Ericf for helping me to better understand things.
I understand now. If a thread was to be started w/nude pictures of everyone it would not offend me.
Would I post, probably not, not so much for moral reasons as I am uncomfortable w/my thin and scolioses ridden body.
I guess my concern about it all came out of the fact that I saw some posts that seemed to be dooing more than just admiring sexually attractiveness, and seemed like the poepl may be more orgy/porn oriented people.
But I guess, even if the pictures of people were placed on here fully clothed, if someone is determined to exploit them in their own heads-they are gonna do it whether that someone is nude or clothed.
Bare w/me, I'm slowly overcoming some of the relgious morality I once had in full, fragments of it all remain.

And I guess if someone was turned on by one of the nake dpictures that it may not be soooo bad because they could get turned on by that person if they were fully clothed-which is natural.

I guess I was just suspicious of 'SOME' peoples motives, including my own.

This process of de-indroctinating ones mind from religous morality takes awhile, but I'm learning.
again, bare w/me.
I'm willing to learn and admit when I'm wrong, or at least that some of my preconceptions may be inncorrect.

Thannx for your well thought out responses to me on this, on other boards of this nature when I've posed moral concerns of any kind I've sometimes been called down as if I'm basing it all on religion and am not actually de-christianized{but hey the process takes time}.

Peace to ya.

I think you may be mistaking camraderie for exploitation - most of the people here (particularly those who have posted on this thread) are comfortable with each other and find each other to be people with attractive personalities. There's a lot of love in the room, so to speak. It's a very different thing hearing from a total stranger "Holy shit! I'd tap that!" and hearing from a friend "Oh my god! You're very sexy and it's turning me on!" or "Damn girl! " or similar.

A great many people here have not been allowed to be sexually self-posessed. Nudity isn't inherently about fucking, but there is a sexual vulnerability that goes with posting your nude self in public, for friends. The online equivalent to whistles and cat-calls that you're seeing are exchanged between people in the same friendly manner as you'd see exchanged between girlfriends at a bridal shower when the bride is opening gifts of lingerie (i.e. the emotion expressed is genuine and serious, but done in a playful way) - perhaps a bit more sexually loaded on occasion, because many of us DO find many of the rest of us genuinely arousing rather than just acknowledging that someone is sexy or cute.

Trust me, if someone found a catcall disturbing, people on this thread would hear about it. More to the point, most of the people here know each other well enough that those who are comfortable with the wolf-whistles get them, and those who aren't get a more verbose type of pat on the back.

Hope that helps
-Lokmer

"Tasteful nudes" hmmmmmm
Taste is a matter of opinion ........ who is the one that decides what is and what is not "tasteful" maybe you could just let the pictures be posted and have a poll for each one so people can vote on whether or not it is tastefully done.
I paint and many people (people I would call prudes) have called my art pornographic but of course I think it is tastefully done (well most of it is anyway)

Posted by: biggles7268 Jun 26 2004, 08:03 AM
I think as long as it's not animal porn enough people here will consider it tastefull for it to be ok.

good grief Iconoclastithon! looking at nude pictures is not the same as having sex

and get this.............. some people look at nude pictures without even jerking off. If you actually believe that sex is sacred I find that a bit born again-ish but even so, I highly doubt that it would be any less sacred if you looked at a naked picture even if you did jerk off to it.

and what makes you think that being naked for sexual reasons is such a terrible thing anyway?

Are you fat? I have noticed that a lot of fat chicks have problems with being naked


Posted by: Kaiser Soze Jul 1 2004, 02:41 AM
I suppose it all depends on how you classify nudity. Erotica, and appreciation of the human body is not the same thing as porn. I don't like porn; I find it pointless, boring and most of the time more than a little foetid. That said I do like to see good erotica, and how the human body (male and female) can be appreciated through art such as pohotgraphy. Germaine Grear recently released an album of artworks and photographs designed to promote the aesthetic and sensual beauty of the male body, and some of the nude photographs in there are just stunning, and when I say stunning I mean arousing in both a sexual and intellectual sense.

IMO, there is nothing "moral" about religionist guilt and shame-mongering concerning the human body. Lots of people have been really messed up by it.

That's only because you've never seem my feet.
Even the last man that thought he was in love with me couldn't help but make a comment about the rubbles.
I guess it was our 4th date, if you call hanging out in the yard drinking beer a date, he said, out of the blue and in front of his parents as he held my leg up for all to see "check out the dogs on this girl" them we all had a good laugh on the poor Rubbles, who thankfully don’t give a fat flying rats ass what anyone thinks of them.

Maybe I should tell you.........
Sometimes, especially if I wear nylon sox or hose, my Barney Rubbles stink like vinegar

Only worse.

The only thing that I can think of as to why you have trouble using the quote feature, is the fact that you are on a dial-up connection.

When you are here at the forum, do you find that you have to log-in several times because for some reason or another you keep getting involuntarily logged-out while making your way through the forum?

Barney Rubble feet huh? I used to call mine Fred Flintstone feet until I met this artist. Artists are soooo creative. Looks like the rest of you makes up for your feet from what I’ve seen.

Actually I do have digital camera. That caused my computer problems, I think. I bought it used then tried to load the software on my computer when all of a sudden my drivers went nuts.

The avatar photo was taken in 1975 at the age of 15.

I have decided to stick with this avatar for awhile. It was taken just a few months before I was absorbed by the Morg Collective and had the life sucked out of me.

With all the talk of nasty feet I just couldn't resist. This is what happens when you spend the summers near a rocky beach growing up and only put shoes on to go to church. Of course standing on them most of the day and running for a few years didn't improve them any.

My last girlfriend used to occasionally refer to me as "snaggle toes."

Hey Rainyday, What a cutie you are. I bet the teachers loved you!

I use to love walking around barefoot outdoors too when I was young. Loved the feeling of the hot sand between my toes. Although the rocks didn't feel too good. But it meant it was SUMMER!

Just got back in town today. Went to the in-laws for the 4th. I took a lot of long walks, couldn't take the mother-in-law. Surprisingly my feet feel great right now, but I suffer with plantar fashitis (not sure of spelling) and heel spurs.
