    To display nude images in your bedroom if you live with your family.

    My boyfriend always takes brilliant artistic shots, and they have great composition... anyway... despite the fact that the have me in them, I still feel they are beautiful shots and I would like to have them in my room. Theyre not erotic or of a sexual nature, just nude... do you think its appropriate?

    If they're not erotic or such, I don't see why they wouldn't be appropriate.. :)

    Well out of respect for the people that own the house you should do what ever it is that they are comfortable with I mean it is THEIR house.

    But hey this could be in your own place and you just don't want them to be geeked when they come over in which case maybe they need to grow their minds a little bit.

    are you worried that they wouldn't approve of them.. or wouldn't want them? if you're comfortable having them i'd say plaster those walls up with pictures!

    I think the issue is more are they comfortable with your boyfriend TAKING the photos?
    If they are then yes id say it would be perfectly acceptable. My dad however is very protective of me so when it came to the nude photography we do, i showed him a collection of the work me and jaycee do together and in them were some semi-nude images. As time went on i showed them more and more pictures and made sure they were shown along with other beautiful images or art that way they knew i saw it as art and nothing more.

    Talk to them about it... atleast warn them if you think they might be shocked. I dont think theyd be shocked to see you nakid just shocked to see you let people take photographs, they might question the intent of the images. As long as you are comfortable with SHOWING them to your parents i think they will realise there is nothing sorded about them.

    I think it is perfectly natural to have art of yuorself in your natural form.
    I would say for you to put them up.
    But, if your family/parents object, have the respect to take them down.

    I'm not sure but as a parent myself, I wouldn't want to see nudies of my son or daughter on their walls. And for myself, I wouldn't want my own parents to see my "whoo whoo" and nudies of me LOL.

    hmmm
    personally i dont think i would do it because my dad is kinda conservative about that stuff and i think he'd hate the idea of his little girl being photographed in the nude by her boyfriend. but then again, that is just me. your parents might be more open to that kind of thing. plus id feel weird about relatives and such... i guess i wouldnt want to "impose" nudity on anyone unless i had warned them or asked them first..
    so when do we get to see the pics? :p ;)

    would you mind if your parents started putting naked pics of them up in their room?

    All good points, thanks its helping me make an informed decision!

    Fleassy, I think that hits the nail on the head, its not so much the picture but how the picture came about that I think would cause controversy.

    If i was a parent i would be proud that my daughter isnt a porn star and actully thinks her body is art and isnt on the streets selling herself. i think its perfectly alright and if it was me i would put them on my walls.

    Imagine your self going into your parents room to get something and notice your mother or god forbid your farther spread nakedly around the room.. you would probably not see it as porn, but I wouldn't think you would study them and admire the artistic content !!!!
    I personally think in this day and age we're uneasy with nudity from close friends and relatives, where as with total strangers we are perfectly happy to admire the artistic display... go--- figure ??????

    I personally don't see any problem with it, but I would see how they feel about it first. That's just my opinion, and I'm not the best with decisions, so you probably shouldn't take MY advice. :)
