    Now this kind of thing is cool. You'll notice not one of these people is either goofily grinning or seductively beckoning. This is much more artistic, IMHO.

Somehow it's demeaning for men and empowering for women, though, eh? I just think it's naked body, posed athletically or seductive, it's still art. Geek won't look at those daily mail photos though, the guys look like they've been "shaving" heaven forbid! The double standard is a crock. It needs to go...
