Classical nude art

A big, voluptuous body was the norm standard of beauty until recently, indicating good breeding and nurturing material. Our sex symbols have gradually got thinner as we have grown richer and more dafe and secure.
>also dat bondage venus figure

Says one set of experts over another. Why is one figure in bondage?

what are the beauty standards now in isolated areas like the amazons or central africa?

>A big, voluptuous body was the norm standard of beauty

By the time these venus were sculpted, people were nomadic or semi nomadic, no one could have gotten fat. These are just caricatures of femininity.

No one knows what they were truly for and no one ever can truly know. How can we know the thoughts and motivations of an illiterate people?

they had slaves then, no porn needed

>he fell for the feminine form meme

>it doesn't look realistic enough anatomically to stimulate some kind of arousal
because people have never got off to virtual porn featuring absolutely ridiculous cowtits proportions

How come none of the women in these paintings have those digusting massive pepperoni nipples it seems all the girls have now.

I have literally masturbated to those so you`re wrong.

They are so god damn pretty I wanna kiss them all over and swallow their seed.

Are you a girl?

It depends on who's asking.

I'll take that as a no

I get pretty hard over them, but I guess taht they were more like worships of the ideal form and sensuality rather than porn as something to be used.

Like most popes in history didn't have mistresses or even fuck men on the side...

I read a story from an ancient greek book about someone trying to fuck a greek sculpture. let me find it

>heh no one is safe from me projecting my sexual degeneracy, not even the papacy

Okay I found it. It is from the Amores of Pseudo-Lucian. They see a semen stain on a statue of Venus and this happens.

>Filled with admiration, we noticed behind one of the thighs a stain like one on a robe, which only brought out the whiteness of the marble. It seemed a flaw in the stone. This kind of defect is not uncommon, and fate thus tends to thwart that which otherwise would reach perfection. Supposing this dark stain was natural, my admiration for Praxiteles only increased, for having so skillfully hidden it where it would least be noticed. But the groundskeeper, who had stayed by our side, recounted an extraordinary and barely believable tale on this subject. "A young man from a distinguished family," said she, "but whose act has made the name unspeakable, came often to the temple, where an evil spirit had made him fall in love with the goddess. As he spent his whole day there, it was first believed to be due to a faith bordering on superstition. In fact he was up way before the dawn, and only went home after sunset, having spent all his time seated before the goddess, his eyes constantly fixed upon her. You could hear him murmuring sweet nothings to her.

>When he wanted to quench his passion a bit, he would make an invocation, cast on the table four small bones of Libyan gazelle, and read the future in them. If the throw was lucky, especially if it was the one called ‘of Aphrodite,' when none of the dice shows the same number, he would prostrate himself, certain his desire would soon be fulfilled. But the opposite was more common, and when the dice were unfavorable he cursed all of Cnidus and, as if his misfortune were incurable, was overwhelmed by sadness. In the next moment he would gather up the dice and try his fortune again. His passion only grew stronger, and he carved on every wall and tree the name of Aphrodite the Beautiful. He worshiped Praxiteles as equal to Zeus. Any beautiful or valuable thing he found in his house he offered to the goddess; finally, the violence of his desires made him lose his reason, his audacity serving him for pimp. One evening, at sunset, he slid unseen behind the temple door and hid in the darkest corner, holding his breath. The keepers closed the gate as usual, and this new Anchises found himself alone inside. Who would dare recount the sort of deeds he consummated that wicked night? In short, at daybreak this sign of his amorous embraces was discovered, a sign which ever since has marked the goddess as a reminder of her suffering. As for the young man, they say he threw himself upon the rocks, or into the sea. In any case he disappeared forever."

This is actually quite a nice sculpture, please don't sexualize.

Here is the statue he came on, the Aphrodite of Knidos

whoops forgot pic

>worships goddess
>ends up defiling her statue
This guy needs to learn rule 1 about respecting his waifu

Was he ourguy?

He couldn't even hold back from that? Imagine if he saw this.

Oh mama.

I dunno but the important thing is classical sculptures NEVER actually had an anus, or a taint. Here are the Uffizi Wrestlers where you can see the clear lack of features (other than penis and testicles). I myself noticed this on a similar sculpture when I visited a museum on vacation a few weeks ago.

What the hell, this time I was sure I did it.

>i noticed the lack of anus

Too late, my friend, too late.

Not sexualizing

while he is definitely exaggerating you're also being adorably naive
especially if we're talking medieval popes, sorry if it makes you feel bad but yeah a lot of them did exactly what you would expect

It looks as though it would be soft to the touch, not hard and cold!

That's all folks. I'll probably post more later if the thread doesn't get it's ass fingered.

These are American beauty standards of 21st century. So if they did change, it has changed back to how it was in the primitive era.

sauce?

It's a painting of the goddess Artemis, just look her up and I'm sure you'll find it.

Ia this a classical-art-soft-porn-thread?

>nudity=porn

Fucking protestants.

Haha, no, I'm an atheist. That thread just kinda reminded me a bit of /b/ porn threads

>he browses /b/

disgusting

...

Why did they like it thicc?

...

Bigger nipples are god tier. Tiny nipples look plain silly on medium-large breasts.

Big nipples are stretched and pale. Little nipples are distinctive and healthy colored.

holy fuck MOAR

>Haha, no, I'm an atheist
i'm an atheist and you should kys

>mfw gf has exactly this body type but she think that she is fat and also have mild vaginism so I cant just eat all her majestic body
Please killme

Also, pls more. I remember fapping to this kind of art in Encarta 95 in the dial-up era. I was the only weirdo?

You're literally a normie with normie taste.

show the picture to her user, so she can see what a work of art you say she is

Those are fertility goddesses

>I think beauty standards have changed
>A big, voluptuous body was the norm standard of beauty until recently
Tumblr, please leave.

> Probably/definitely not popes.
Like really nigga? Are you that naive? Or do you have an extra chromosome?

>some proto /b/tard came on a statue
>both the testimony of the act and the statue itself are alive to this day for us to know about it
Respect

>gf
Pls leave this website

The original statue is actually no longer in existence, but dozens of copies are. That photo is actually of a cast of one of the copies, too.

Achilles went to Elysium?

Firstly define big nipples. I might have a completely different size in mind.

Oh well, if everyone is insisting...

Always knew cupids were gay-pedo propaganda.

>your waifu goddess statue will never turn into a real person and start having love with you.
That dude didn't know why to live anymore.

False. Roman murals present their females as thin or slightly thicc (in the good sense, aka without a gut), with additional works presenting women with fit bodies working out. Statues and busts of women also depict them as lithe and I have come across female busts exhibiting six packs.

Beauty standards have always pushed for a healthy BMI in the western world, fetishists like Rubens notwithstanding. The only real variable is whether women that served as canons of beauty worked out or used other means (like corsets) to keep a slim waist and advantageous appearance. The neck also carried much more importance than it does now due to the conservatism of clothing. A fat neck was considered as unappealing as a starving sickly neck. A nice pink or pearly neck though is a focus of mens desire in much of xixth century litterature.

thicc

>degenerate

>it doesn't look realistic enough anatomically to stimulate some kind of arousal
said the guy on the anime forum

>degeneracy

>degeneracy

>naked on the rooftop
>like in my porn videos

These are with few exceptions found exclusively in Europe.

Therefore your conceptualization is flawed.

>my teacher said in Ancient and Medieval times they liked fat people and now they don't

why are those two shotas bullying a dolphin?
