Question, what is the difference between these two pictures in today’s societal view? Michaelangelo’s “David” on the left has been heralded for centuries as a masterpiece. It is readily viewable by any museum visitor. Pictures of it are plastered in art books and classes worldwide. Why then, would a naked male in the other picture be deemed “obscene” or “pornographic”? Why is our society ready enough to view the sculpture, but not a male model? Why does a penis automatically garner an NC-17 rating from the MPAA when mass killings, drug use, and sex scenes can get a PG-13 label, or be shown on cable TV? Why are we so afraid of seeing our bodies?

Excellent question.
