There seem to be some very common misconceptions about Artistic Nude photos, whether it be the old "Evil Penis" quips or that any female nude is all about the "tits and vag". There also seems to be a misconception that nudity is about sex among some persons. This article is here to bust the myths and prove that good artistic nude isn't all about the nudity.
Myth 1 - It's All About the Genitals
Wrong. Artistic nude doesn't have to focus on the genitals to be artistic nude. In some shots, while the nudity is there, the presence of genitals does not take centre stage. As a matter personal opinion, I find these ones to be the better shots.

Myth 2 - Men and Women - It's All About Sex
Again, another misconception. There are some mazing shots out there that contain both males and females nude, with little or no sexual connotation. Some of the best I've found of this, are by ~

Myth 3 - Nudes Outdoors - It's All About Exhibitionism
The myth here is that people who do their nudes outdoors are usually adorned with a grin and are themselves streakers. This isn't the case. Outdoor nudes, like studio nudes are based in nudity for art, not nudity for nudity's sake.

And to finish off, a couple of my other favourites from the recently submitted Artistic Nudes.

If diamonds are just compressed carbon,
And diamonds are a girl's best friend,
Does this mean we can give a lump of coal for Valentine's?

Vive la révolution libertaire, mon ~TBSchemer!
Thomas Paine wrote "The Rights of Man," not "The Privileges of Law Abiding Citizens That Aren't Brown People or Praying to Allah"
Little sidenote: Ever notice that an oddly large chunk of artistic nudes are in black and white? I understand the effect and all, but still, it surprises me.
