Do you HAVE to deal with it? It seems to me like it's they who have a problem. And thou didst give a warning as fair as the ladies themselves, my good prince.
Pascal, it's not the name. I thought Sabrina was, well, there are few words to describe. Aleks has an essential softness which is more pleasing than Sabrina.
One of my art teachers said he first notice the difference between North American and European attitudes towards nudity when the first job he got when he arrive in Canada was filing the nipples off of the european clothing manaquins. strange strange world
I think my first exposure to Americas fear of nudity was seeing a coupe of films on TV mid afternoon. These shows would have been after 9pm in the UK for violence. They were "Terminator", and "Shallow Grave". Both had all the violence and blood, but the brief nudity had been removed.
Anyone remember that shower gel ad in the UK in the early 90's where we got to see a bit of nipple? They decided to cut the nipple out before the 9pm watershed, but maintain it after. It was assumed all kids would be in bed, or old enough to see.
Again, there is kids TV almost 24 hours a day here. These Americans are crazy.
The really amazing thing is this huge, unexamined idea that seeing sex or nudity would be damaging to kids. I've heard not a shred of evidence to support that.
On the contrary, I think anything which hides a significant portion of life from a child is much more likely to do them damage. Imagine waking up on your 18th birthday, and suddenly everybody has genitals and sex.
Um, can I just say that over here's it's America, not Amerika? Broad brush charactizations of any country both me, but then maybe I'm in the minority.
Kids and sex education are a touchy combination to be sure. I just bought my grandson a nice book called 'What's going on down there'. His mom approved and gave it to him.
Eolake, as always the pictures are stellar and the experience sublime. :o)
Um, gandalfe, can I just say that it USED to be "America", but then King George was put in office by a vote of 5 to 4. Actually, calling it "Amerika" may not be correct either, as that is a recognizable name, and this country no longer looks anything like the one I grew up in.
I like, but then again, I don't like. It makes me feel that I've not attained much, as a man. No girlfriend of mine has ever appeared so appealing to me. So (and thanks solely to the internet?) I'm perpetually dissatisfied with real humans. How do I kick this bad habit?

This thread reminded me of something I saw on TV, years ago...
Circa 1920, a major store chain in Canada (T. Eaton or Hudson Bay, can't recall) decided to shift from dummies to live models in the production of their catalog, including the underwear collection.
This catalog triggered a violent and passionate reaction from the church, calling it pornography (and a lot more, to be assured!), especially since it was massively and freely distributed in homes at the time.
The store and the church finally came to an agreement by which, among other things, the models were to be shaved clean in such a fashion that there would be no difference other than the more natural shapes between the dummies and the models.
And it is said that this was a major promotional tool of the custom for women to shave all but their faces... making women look like dummies! ;)
Well, I for one find Sabrina just adorable. Perfect. But seriously, I knew it wasn't about the name. Tastes come in all kinds. :-)
"I keep getting mails from a young man from Malaysia, who is feeling majorly suppressed by the attitudes to nudity there."
Why's he complaining to YOU? As if it were in part your fault? Does he know what you DO for a living? ;-) Malaysia being a muslim country, I don't envy him. Lebanon's still better off. If you can stand your Playboys being sold in opaque bags/envelopes, they're perfectly legal everywhere. "To be sold exclusively to adults, within the sealed containment." (Seriously.) No porn officially available outside the internet, though. THAT kind of work would be too unsafe.
Interestingly, the last book exposition sponsored by the Hezbollah featured some prominent erotic poetry that had just been banned in Saudi Arabia. Written by a woman!!! No fib.
Leviathud, Filing their nipples off? One word, man: "Ouch."
"Americans [...] don't like nudity, but they watch more porn than anyone else in the world... Makes one wonder."
The tighter they are, the louder they fart, I always say. It's exactly the same over here. Violence in movies is almost bland in effect. But suggest the tiniest bit of skin, and the male audiences go wild. Three guesses what local people think about the most, outside politics and the cost of life... This might help you understand how the promise of 70 heavenly virgins could be enough for some to go blow themselves up against the "infidels". There's a sucker blown every minute. :-P
"I've heard not a shred of evidence to support that."
He asks for EVIDENCE that sex is satanic (outside the worthy reward of any decent terrorist, of course)?!? Heretic! Stone him! Feed him pork! Off with his turban! And what's underneath the turban too, if you're a good aim. Besides, your beard is too short, mister. So you're clearly a miscreant. And by Khomeyni's beard, WILL YOU VEIL YOUR WOMEN ALREADY?
"Imagine waking up on your 18th birthday, and suddenly everybody has genitals and sex."
I've heard of worse gift ideas for an 18th birthday. ;-) Actually, on mine I drank some good alcohol. Considered unadvised BEFORE you're 18. Though I can tell you that medically, the occasional taste is harmless for a teen. WITH MODERATION.

"And it is said that this was a major promotional tool of the custom for women to shave all but their faces... making women look like dummies!"
Hey, who you callin' a dummy? You been lookin' at my sister? If you have, you're dead meat! ;-) Actually, I know women who also shave their eyebrows, to replace them with a line of make-up. So sad. What's wrong with a plain old-fashioned bush, when its name ain't George? My own seduction tool's name ain't Cheney, either!
Yeah, Eolake, thatz me, Anurag from Malaysia. Yeah thats true. Thanks Eolake, for bringing up the matter of nudity in Malaysia. I hope that happens in all of your sites and I hope that there will be a day when nudity is not equated with sex by the Malaysians and people from anywhere else.
Pascal, I don't mean to make Eolake to feel guilty of himself. I am just advising him to including problems concerning Malaysia about female nudity because as you have just said Malaysia's attitude towards nudity is far worse than Lebanon. Indeed, Malaysia has a damn serious problem with nudity. Sorry, thats my way, Pascal.
Pascal, Did you know that Malaysia is a moderate islamic country. 60% of Malaysians are Muslims. Malaysians are portrayed as to be a moderate country by the government. It looks approximately true in many big cities except for one place Kota Bharu. Former Prime ministers considered it illegal for Malaysia to be called as an Islamic country. However, recently, a Malaysian annoying deputy Prime Minister by the name Najib Tun Rajak who seems to work harder than the PM of Malaysia (who, in fact doses off many of the country's important meetings and makes weird and sometimes prepostorous statements. This new governmnet by the same liberal party has gone Islamic somehow, thanks to the PM's dosing in the meetings. A useless fag. I wished he was killed. However, Malaysian political system is one of the world's most messed-up political system in second world countries. I wish that there was a military coup by a truly liberal one who respects female beauty and its nudity. That person could even kill those lazy useless Malay race who deserved to be killed like the way Hitler did it to Jews. Since, these buggers think nothing more than their freakin' religion, food, their prepostorous rights on everything, money, lust, and power. These buggers have gotta be made to work or else to be eradicated. These buggers, who are these politicians nowadays and the lazy pure Malays have gotta be killed or eradicated in some ways. However, Malaysia is equated with moderate muslim countries like your Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Yemen, and Iran. By the way, is Iran really a moderate country. Or is it true on what Americans talk about the present Iranian system.
One French liberal friend of mine told me that he found DOMAI to be a 'perverted site' because women were jumping up and down with excitement in nude. It seems that he supports female nudity but doesn't wants it to be assimilated to be in our daily lives. My mom, calls me in an Indian language a 'lafanga' which means a an irresponsible, cheap, spoilt, naughty, perverted, indecent, rude, vagabond, hooligan and an astrayed dude since I like to look at female body with appreciatuion. She says that only a face , hand, and feet is value and the rest is disgusting and ugly. She finds a woman to be disgusting and cheap if she wears skimpy outfits and is very outgoing with males ( I meant a girl who is free to enjoy with boys as she does with girls, spends her time out other than her working hours.) I think that my mom is one ultraconservtive Hindu fundamentalists. However, most Indians are like that.
Well, Eolake, in some ways you seem to be very right but I remember in one of your thoughts of the day in DOMAI when a philosopher by the name Viswanathan said that its next to impossible for a healthy to survive with a populatiopn unhealthy ones.
Today, a friend of mine, who's a girl laughed at me as if I said something funny and weird when admitted that the beauty of women are very inspiring to me. A typical beauty hater. She sometimes seems to convince that beautiful are very hard to get since they are the rich ones.
According to the MSN article, I disagree with the statement that a nude body of a beautiful woman can be so 'disgusting.' I think that the journalist is the one to be called 'disgusting' and 'grotesque.' He is sick of looking at a beautiful female's nipples?! Well, we are never get bo0red do we? I feel so happy and enlightened looking at a beautiful woman's nipples.

Thanks for sharing. The Aleks set is particularly nice. That's the sort of face I love sitting across from in a restaurant.
Sets like that remind me why I love photography. It also reminds me that Im not taking pictures like that.
Maybe someday.
How can someone not appreciate the Domai pictures?
That's what I think. But the fact remains that a huge subset of humanity gets very upset about any nudity at all, so there's always that to deal with.
Thanks to your warning, I went straight there! :-)

I think this is mainly in Amerika. But apparently even there it's fine if you have registered a porn name.
"And thou didst give a warning as fair as the ladies themselves, my good prince."
Yes, that is a major part of how to deal with it.
"I think this is mainly in Amerika."
Well, and Africa, the Middle East, and Asia...
I keep getting mails from a young man from Malaysia, who is feeling majorly suppressed by the attitudes to nudity there.

How much of photographs (ignoring Photoshop for the moment) have to do with what the person actually looks like and how good the photographer is?
Are Domai pictures ever Photoshop'ed?
The photographer and other influences are big.
Apart from a few pimples sometimes, Domai pictures are rarely photoshopped.
Ok, interesting to know. Pimples aren't part of beauty? :)
Do you still do pictures that end up on Domai, Eolake?
Only rarely.
Maybe we need a free sample set of Sabrina for comparison?
Don't have one handy. How about Zuzana?

I never used to believe in "ask and you shall receive". I'll have to try more often.
Thanks
Well, Alex, ask a believer in this saying and you shall receive. :-)
And you're not the first to make this pleasant finding.
Yeah, Eolake, thatz me, Anurag from Malaysia. Yeah thats true. Thanks Eolake, for bringing up the matter of nudity in Malaysia. I hope that happens in all of your sites and I hope that there will be a day when nudity is not equated with sex by the Malaysians and people from anywhere else.

I recommend working on not hating others. It hurts yourself more than it hurts them.
Well, Eolake, in some ways you seem to be very right but I remember in one of your thoughts of the day in DOMAI when a philosopher by the name Viswanathan said that its next to impossible for a healthy to survive with a populatiopn unhealthy ones.
I might not have posted that today.
The world is crazy. But we can still be happy if we forgive the world.
It takes work though.
