I'm calling prudes Philistines from now on because it fits perfectly.

I love nude Greek & Roman statues, old Renaissance paintings, and photos of the human form. Not for sex, for art.

CW: pic attached is naked Venus statue

The curves, the unique marks and features that make each body a masterpiece.

This fascination led me to study Kinesiology as my undergrad. I wanted to understand the human body in movement, in peak performance, so I could teach others to inhabit their bodies with strength and grace.

But I also pursued Psychology simultaneously because I was obsessed with how the mind shapes the body. How thoughts become posture. How trauma lives in tissue. How confidence changes everything.

Mens Sana in Corpore Sano i.e. a sound mind in a sound body. The Romans got it.

Philistines see a nude body and think 'sex' or 'shame.'

Artists see 'story,' 'strength,' 'beauty.'

The difference isn't what we're looking at. It's what we can see.

Over at Tumblr, the Elder Scrolls-community has a Pin Up-Challenge-Event for August.

I'm not participating in every prompt, but I drew my Elder Scrolls Online-character (Arcanist/Necro Breton) for the "Madness Butterfly"-prompt.
