Chapter 646 Straight Guy Enters Gay Porn:>Ep9
- Andrew then subtly steered the conversation toward sexuality in art, as he trailed a finger between my ass cheeks through my pants. The conversation was interesting but I found it difficult to concentrate because of his constant teasing. At one point he was lamenting the numerous desecrations of masterpieces by the Catholic Church by covering up or breaking off any penises in paintings or statues. As he described seeing the castrated statues in Rome, he was slowly teasing my asshole through my pants with his finger.
- Andrew went on to describe taking influence from classical artists who had to hide sexuality in their works thereby making it difficult to be accused of lust. He lamented this fact because he said lust was his favorite of the seven sins, which got him a laugh from everyone. As the group began to disband, Andrew stayed next to me, as a few others added their opinions on sexuality in art. My girlfriend was clearly bored and wanted to leave, but didn't want to seem uncultured so she tried to stay in the conversation.
- By this point, I was arguing that the supposed shock value of a naked statue or painting today wasn't the same as it used to be. I pointed out the ancient athletic competitions in Greece and even Rome being carried out completely naked. I argued that artists could hardly be criticized for painting and sculpting scenes as they were based on our current views of decorum and modesty. Andrew agreed and pointed out the growing number of artists willing to showcase and celebrate the beauty of the naked form. I agreed but drew the distinction between showing the beauty of the naked form as they did hundreds of years ago and the growing number of artists who used subtle tactics to hide things inside their art and the shock value of some of the more pornographic artists.
