I've been thinking a lot about why so many people think that posting your naked body on the internet for everyone to see makes you lack dignity and I came to the conclusion that people see naked bodies in general as something sexual.
Me, on te contrary, I've never seen my body as sexual unless I'm having sex. I grew up looking at beautiful paintings of naked women posing for artists, I also grew up looking at nude photography and sculptures of naked people. I've always been artsy, one of my favorite artists ever is Madonna, someone who isn't scared of showing some skin just for the art of it.
Having that context in mind, how am I supposed to see a naked body as something inherently sexual?
Looking back at my past and how I grew up, it was so apparent that I was going to end up working at something like this. Drawing naked people, being a live model for artists to draw, being the one behind the camera taking pictures of naked people, it doesn't matter, this was going to happen at any time.
I really think I was born for this and I feel it inside my heart. There's always been something in me immensely drawn to nudity and eroticism. For me, posing and telling a story with our bodies can be art.
For me looking at a painting in a museum and looking at someone naked on the internet can be the same sometimes, it depends on the eyes of the beholder, more than anything else.
Personally I don’t get aroused when I see naked people, it's rare for me to sexualize someone just for being naked unless there's something about them that makes me feel that way but normally when I see a naked body I just..see a naked body. I think that some people don't have that capacity so they sexualize everything that is remotely erotic.
Eroticism isn't the same as sexual btw, they are very different. I've always been creative and created art since I was born pretty much, when you are an artist, naked people don't make you uncomfortable or aroused instantly, it just doesn't happen.
I don't relate nudity to dignity, I relate nudity to something very natural. I get paid to be naked in a way, but even before this job, I was naked on the internet for free lmao.
