Today, I posted a gif of myself without any make up on with naked written as the caption and the comments that I received were people bluntly saying "you're not naked" "doubt you are naked" "prove it". Funny..no..it's sad actually..how society today only sees nakedness as the form of nudity. This is exactly what both my lecturers, Mr Rubin and Mr Hardip taught me in social psychology and media appreciation. People should start looking beyond the photo.
On a not so different note, just because someone takes a nude photo does not exactly mean sexy or provocative..look at the background, the eyes, the smile, the facial expression, the body language. We were born into this world naked, its honestly a form of innocence. How painters paint their models in their nude, you do not focus on their genitals, no, that's just shallow. It's because of what we have today, the media, pornography for example, it destroyed everyones perception of nudity. They associate nudity with sex. It's sad, really.
