I just read on a Swedish website that there's a Swedish artist who's having a photo exhibition, where all the photos show naked men and particularly their dicks/testicles. Click here to see her work.

In an additional poll, Swedish women were asked if they wanted to see penises as art. 85% said yes, and 21% of these wanted the art to be pornographic.

What say you, Literoticans? Would you like to see naked men and their penises and testicles in an art exhibition?
 
I don't find it particulary erotic. I love pictures of men's faces,chest,butts!!!! and even there legs, but a picture of there penis and balls makes me chuckle or even want to look away.

As I clicked through them i always found myself looking more at the women. For someone reason I found there poses funny, it is odd isn't it, that I can see a girl in the same pose and not think anything of it, but for men it just looks unnatural and forced...probably a cultural thing.

Well why not have penises in artwork? I think anything can be art and although i don't find the male genetalia the most beautiful thing in the world i reckon they deserve a bit of the limelight!
Art is such an individual thing though. Everyone's idea of beautiful is different. I am a butt woman myself when it comes to seeing naked bits of men but each to their own i guess!

80's pop icon Boy George has a house full of penis art (paintings, photos, and sculptures) including a huge penis chair wherein you sit on the nuts.
 
Personally, I love the look of an erect penis. The full shaft, the length, the girth, the veins, the fullness... It IS a work of art, to me. That's one of the reasons why I like oral sex, because then I can worship this beautiful body part with my eyes, my hands, my mouth...:heart:
 
I think the penis is God's joke. If you think about it (and no offence to Svens who's just expressed her love for it), the penis does look fairly ridiculous. Especially when not erect.

Not quite sure about whether I'd consider it art, but each to their own.

A personal bit of penis art:

Drawing of nude male

And no, it's not erect (though it's looking mildly interested). I could draw 'em all day long, in any state. ;-) This drawing was based on several photographs, but my husband kindly modeled for the penis.

Why do so many men think their personal parts look ugly or awkward? Is it just that Western art conventions are much more focused on the female nude? Probably. So I try to do my bit to tweak the conventions!

Um, no. I think all penises are somewhat ridiculous.

Except mine. I love that thing.
 
I don't think cunts or dicks look particualry nice.
But at least cunts don't stick out so much, and spoil the bodyline.

That's my opinion, and darn the blankety heck if I'm gonna change now, consarn it.

In best cases, cunts are flat and boring. In worst case, they have little skin bags flopping down. *shudders*

I can actually not nderstand what it is about cunts that men find attractive - I'm very glad they find them attractive, but for the life of me, I can't understand it.

A cock, on the other hand - a sculpture, a statue, a mighty spear...
 
A funny thing happened the other day. Me and a girlfriend were discussing bisexuality, as we have a mutual friend who's bisexual. We were trying to imagine what type of woman we would be attracted to if we too had been bisexual. My friend said she would probably like a curvy, feminine woman. Me, I'd more like a more tomboy sort of girl. Without big boobs. No boobs at all would be best. Rather athletic. Muscular. With a boyish face, like Tracy Chapman. And a hairy chest. And a firm, round butt. And a long dick...

:rolleyes:

I once heard an Aussie chick refer to her labia majora as "Beef Curtains." I very nearly puked.

You could have just stopped at Tracy Chapman. Albeit, I have no personal knowledge as to the length of her dick.

Isn't this adorable?

I cannot judge, but it leaves a lot to be desired as a condom!

I think they are artistic, but then again I haven't seen the site you refer to.

I'm into painting and ceramics and a good bit of my inspiration is either phallic or vulvic. Although, I don't prefer not to look at actual photographs of penii.
 
So far, we have something like 2 thirds for penis-art, and one third against it.

I can't believe that authors/readers of erotic fiction would actually be more uptight than Swedish 20+ girls!

Either you're rigging my poll, or we have a whole bunch of guys coming in to vote here without bothering to write anything...:mad: *frowning*
 
Well Svenska flicka, the Swedes are very advanced....

But this 'beauty' thing is pretty relative; surely a baby orangutan looks pretty cute to his mom, and perhaps not too appealing to a human mom.

Is your tongue really prettier than a parrot's? Your nipples better than a nanny goats? In whose pov? Aren't bodies kinda weirdandwonderful?

I read this:

One woman said, "I heard my labia compared to a turkey's wattle; and at first I wondered; now when I see a turkey I think how sexy his wattle is!"

Oh god... its fantastic... I always had a 'Taker fetish.

Must be my artwork week... one of my friends finished the Snape pic... *drool*
 
Not voting, but...

Since I'm male, I don't think it's fair for me to vote, but I'd like to point something out. Personally, and I think it's true of most men, the vagina isn't particularly attractive, or artistic, in any event. Basically, it's a sexual organ, not a sexy one. Vagina's are the fat chick you hang out with at the bar. Not much to look at, but all kinds of fun...

The same, I always assumed, would be true for the penis. The term bumping uglies comes from somewhere, afterall. But I can't say for certain; assume is all. It must be different from the female perspective, as it seems the penis pretty much sums up our sexual identity to women, whereas so many other things besides the vagina define women's sexual identity to us.

From my perspective, the penis is the last thing I actually get to see with a guy. I see so many other things about a man that define his sexual identity to me, long before we get to the part about bumping uglies. ;)

I think what you refer to with how men see women's sexual identity is really the same for women. Just as a man might admire a woman's breasts, I admire a man with a strong chest. Just as a guy admires a cute ass ... I admire a cute ass on a guy. A guy with strong sexy legs probably turns me on just as much as a guy gets with looking at long sexy legs on a chick.

And it is more than just physical too. But I think its more than just physical that men notice with women as well. :)
 
Am I the only one who actually think hard dicks are beautiful? Not just sexy, not just useful, but BEAUTIFUL?

I can lay in bed and suck my hubby's dick and admire it and make love to it. I caress that full sack under it, and feel the elastic skin under my fingers. When he gets out of bed, I want to bite his sexy, round butt.

I'm gonna write a poem about this...:cool:
