First, some background information:
I recently started a members-only website called NudeJigsawADay.com that features artistic nude jigsaw puzzles.
The very beautiful women in these puzzles are in artistic poses, and do not contain any overt sexual activity. It was created for those that enjoy the natural beauty of a nude woman. (Sorry, if you want porno puzzles, you will have to look elsewhere.)
Thus far the site has proven to be very popular with new members joining almost every day, and it was created because I had a lot of people asking for more nude jigsaw puzzles like the ones I was publishing occasionally at the JigsawADay blog.
OK, now on to the main topic of this post: Can nudity be artistic for someone with a dirty mind?
Well, first you have to know what a dirty mind is. Under current accepted moral standards, a dirty mind is one that sees sexual opportunity or something sexually exciting in just about everything. This definition would probably include all teenage boys, as looking at linoleum makes them horny – because they are teenagers! Everything excites them at this point.
The second point is what is considered artistic nudity? It depends on the person observing it. Again, under today’s moral standards, artistic nudity is nudity that is non-sexual in nature, used in the context of a picture or a painting. For the most point, it is correct.
The thing is, sexual intercourse itself could conceivably be considered ‘artistic’ in certain circumstances. For example, the act of ‘making love’ with someone you deeply care for could be considered an artistic statement between the two participants themselves, where as for someone watching them it would not be. It’s a matter of perspective.
If someone enjoys watching ‘porn’ then they could be considered to have a dirty mind, yet that same person can observe nudity and appreciate the beauty that exists without it being ‘dirty’ especially if it is in a non-sexual setting.
I don’t believe that anyone has a 100% dirty mind (OK, Larry Flint might be the exception) and most people are capable of both types of thoughts, enjoying both ‘porn’ from a sexually arousing standpoint as well as enjoying the beauty of a nude without it being sexually arousing.
So yes, nudity can be artistic for someone with a dirty mind.
