* The human body is not something of which you should be ashamed.
Note I am NOT advocating a nudist lifestyle or anything (duh), just saying
that the human body isn't, by definition, "offensive". Sitting in the
theatre, the couple behind me said, loudly, at the time the nekkid guy came
out (in the role of Eros, the winged god of love), "Is that really
necessary?!" and, "I'm glad we decided NOT to bring your mother to THIS
show!". My only thought was that dearest mother, in becoming a mother, had
_probably_ seen "one of those" before! In fact, the house manager told me a
story of taking a phone call from a group of elderly women who wanted to
see
the show. He mentioned the fact that there was male nudity, and the old
lady
on the phone replied, "It'll be nice to see one of those again. It's been a
while!".
