No, he's just seized on yet another way to exalt himself and put down others. > I've been in art classes where the models were very nice looking > and where the models werenearly as fat and icky-looking as myself. > Comfort with a nude body isn't the issue. Of course it isn't. Nude swimming is another counterexample. One of the most enjoyable afternoons I ever spent was at a nude swimming hole in upstate New York some years ago, where folks, both male and female, young and old, displayed an astonishing variety of bodies, from gross to svelte. The interesting thing was that after about five minutes you completely forgot you and everybody else were naked. The only slightly uncomfortable aspect was the (fully clothed) gawkers standing around at the periphery. But all they did was gawk, and you quickly forgot about them too. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
