But I know what you mean. I was once concerned that some art i was writing about in my essays might get me into trouble because of the nudity. But it is art and that is that. I got over that anxiety. When I get my new home office set up I'll be posting an essay on Bernini;s Ecstasy of Saint Theresa, which strongly suggests the contortions of her body are orgasmic. It is an absolutely brilliant sculpture and so what if Bernini meant it that way, anyhow? It's in a church in Rome, fer chrissake...

If you Google it, you'll see what I mean...
