Historical perspective on Seeing the Body

What is our attitude on the erotic, the naked human body? How the society in general, or how you the individual, deals with nudity has to do with how they were taught and their own inborn nature. It comes down to something we call "sensibility". What are your sensibilities?

Where did it all begin.. the nudity and erotic art?

All throughout history, humanity has had a fascination and appreciation of the physical body. Its form and shape and its sensual design entices the beholder with its eternal Beauty. Where and when did the culture of nudity and eroticism begin? Well, it has its highpoints and lowpoints. It is a cycle of ebb and flow. Sometimes, it has to go underground, because of repressive forces and puritanical morality. Then at other times, the unveiling becomes more permitted. Freedom allows for open nudity and eventually it degrades into debauchery. At times of happy cultural periods, the social attitude is balanced. (to be con't.)
