Naked men of any sort affect me differently from women.<br /><br />Richard, I don't know what the lesson is either. I've been naked on the beach at Sitges but there's not a lot of chance to wander round naked in my normal life. <br /><br />Silentvoice, I'm not volunteering either.

What took so long?<br /><br />Actually, I bet the answer to #2 is that it's not a new idea at all, only a recently re-thought-of idea that will fade quickly once more.<br /><br />My favorite quote: "In burlesque, we unveil our bodies. In Naked Girls Reading, we unveil our souls."<br /><br />So really it's a religious and spiritual thing. They should do this in church, too, says I. I think there's some connection there to Adam and Eve, but right now I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it.
