Pictures of naked ladies
can be found all over the net with just
the prompting of a search engine.
They range from the prurient to the puerile, lame to artistic, interesting to yawn-inducing.
Porn has become popular amongst young people to the point where their primary "sex education" comes from a medium that promotes nothing of the kind. The appearance of porn stars has influenced people who should have access via the web to thousands of alternatives... yet don't know where to find them or can't be bothered to look.
The appearance and proportions of the normal variations of the human body should be promoted as an aid to self-confidence in one's appearance without resorting to parody. This is not likely to happen as there are many groups of would-be adult humans who find the body something to be covered up and not thought about outside the medical or reproductive fields. I think these people are engaging in mental masturbation and are perverse in trying to keep children and other adults from the physical form.
Prudes hate themselves. Porn stars are often in therapy. Some where there has to be a middle ground. Movie stars ain't it. They are often portrayed clothed and unclothed in unnatural ways, sometimes because they have had corrective surgery, others because they cheat and use body doubles.
The filtiest thing on the planet is someone with a dirty mind who thinks everyone else should have a clean one.
