In contemporary Western culture, there’s really no such thing as nudity without a sexual element. All this “beauty of the human form” stuff is an excuse to look at hot bods.

It’s low-intellect stuff aimed at base instincts. Fine. Whatever.

I’m old and have kids and not inexperienced in the ole’ rumpy pumpy. My young days of being obsessed with sex are past and I can approach the subject with some detached wisdom rather than being lead around by the whims of my penis.

I feel sorry for current young people still in that state who are so caught up by all this social media and weird internet shit that they can’t go talk to other human beings in real life and get laid.

Some advice then; put the fucking games DOWN and go outside and do something in REAL LIFE.

Go volunteer to help your community.
Go hiking in the mountains.
Go do anything except sitting inside and watching Twitch hoping to see bewbs.

Holy strawmen, Batman! You've assembled an entire hay loft of them there, gramps!

At first I thought you were coming from a place of bias and baseless stereotyping but now I know for a fact that you are.

Get out of the way and let people younger than your apparent 80 years express themselves how they want to.

Hey now, thats not fair at all.

There are 80 year old's who were in their 20s in the summer of love and clearly far less prudish and hung up than the above poster.

True. I was referring to the stereotypical grumpy old man, not any specific octogenarians, many of which are much cooler than you and I will ever be 😁

Yes, I've been taken prisoner by the concept that unnecessary censorship is a bad thing. Good deduction, Sherlock. 🙄

Ah man… I’m not even talking about censorship. I don’t care if Twitch shows tits or not. I’m purely focused on the use of the word ‘art’ to justify looking at naked people. Like… just say you want to look at naked people. Be honest.

Like there’s all these ‘burlesque’ dance troupes who say their performances are “artistic”. Ok. Do them fully clothed and see how well your audience numbers seem.

There’s very little intelligent merit in doing x y z naked apart from letting thirsty people have a tingle.

Whatever. I’m done here. See ya.
