I mean, the guy hung dead horses on hooks in a barn and stripped away layers of tissue and completely cataloged horse anatomy; writing books on it, which we viewed today. Stubbs even robbed human graves to study anatomy, including a pregnant woman's! Anyway, I got the book from the show. I don't see a one horse member. Now, other artists have no problem with this anatomical feature. Snape's Anatomy of an Horse, a 1683 engraving, has its hangin' loose muscularity right there to see. Too bad Stubbs had these *issues* clouding his otherwise fine portrayal of equine beauty. Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this would go over too well with the dh. During the day maybe? It is only for a set period of time I believe.

I don't do kettlebells (I like the idea just haven't done them yet) and I am very partial to Olympic Lifting and I would personally avoid bodybuilding like the plaque, especially if your goal is to develop strength. Well I am all for taking lessons, be aware that conventional wisdom says the full (high bar/Olympic) squats are bad for your knees, and your trainer may discourage you from doing them. As for learning to squat this is a good place to begin: http://www.stumptuous.com/learnsquat.html An intro to Olympic Lifting can be found here: http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/article-olympic-lifting.asp Some pics of Olympic Lifting: http://www.qwa.org/womens/content.asp Some pics of high bar squatting: http://www.cbass.com/Squats.htm Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 >The Greeks loved the nude male form, but I suspect this had >to do with their open attitude toward homosexuality and obsession with >athletes. Homosexuality seems to have been a BIG part of their culture (as was slavery and going to war constantly). I suspect this did have a big effect on their art. Some philosophers regarded homosexual love as superior to the other kind. But it seems like it was generally between a grown man and a boy, not two grown men, which is interesting (less rivalry?). >I never really found looking at men's bodies very stimulating until I >practically fainted upon beholding angelo's in the >Galleria dell'Accademia. Oh, and he has a *small* penis! Of course, >it's not erect, and we all know how looks can be deceiving! Well, ok, but angelo was gay too. So was DaVinci, who also drew some nice male nudes. For an interesting list of gay famous guys, see: http://www.rotten.com/library/sex/homosexuality/famous/ J. Edgar Hoover and ph McCarthy are on the list ... along with the founder of the Boy Scouts! I haven't met a straight guy yet who was interested in looking at other males, and most women seem to be with you, they think males are kinda funny looking totally nude. It's really interesting looking at a magazine rack: all the men's mags have pretty women on the front. All the women's mags have pretty women on the front! Except maybe the ones about Hollywood, which sometimes have cute male movie stars ... > Heidi Jean The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. -Bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 >>Are you kidding me, lol! I have been told that has been the topic in a number of rooms AND I accidently overheard one such discussion <g> << ~~~Well, one of you saying that, I could ignore, (deciding to let you live in your happy delusion), but two of you is too much. :-) You guys just love to think sex is on the minds of us women as much as it is on the minds of you men, but it simply doesn't compute. It has been proven that men think of sex too many times a day to count, whereas women go lots of days never thinking of it at all. I know I could be starting a new hot debate here, from both sides, and if that should happen, I'll let the rest of you have at it, because I'm really too old to care, but I'm going to be VERY honest here, just 'cause. :-) I'm plenty old enough to have had quite a bit of experience talking with other women about lots of stuff. (Probably more than most women on this List.) In all these years, I can't remember one time when the conversation turned to sex when the men left the room. If they're going to talk about men at all, it's more apt to be in ways the men wouldn't think was so neat. :-) On the other hand, I do suppose men talk about it alot, when women leave the room, since that's what men think about so much of the time anyway. But, go ahead, dream on. :-) I'm sure there is the occasional woman who is more sexually oriented than the rest of us, (or more open when the subject has been broached), but for the most part, even those women, don't talk about it much when only with a group of other women. And, if they do talk about it, it's much more apt to be in pairs than in larger groups of women. I have actually been 'shut down' by other women, if I've brought up the subject, once or twice in my life. I will admit that, nowdays, there are more uninhibited young women who like to talk about it openly in group settings like this.....in a sort of party atmosphere, and I'm doing it myself. But, that's totally different from what it's like when it's only women in the group. In that case, I've never once witnessed a group of women talking about sex. Maybe you're watching too many raunchy movies. :-) And, of course, no large amount of women are going to swoop in to back me up, because those are not the women engaged in this thread. (Or probably even reading it! :-) Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't there n houses in San Francisco? I am no history buff, nor do I need to see said horsie parts. It's only that usually, a bump (scrotum?) of sorts is present in stallions. But since I wrote, I have seen a bit of more stallion-like parts in SOME of Stubb's work. Okay, I am not obsessing. No. I am not :-) It all started with our docent telling all the hs kiddies, " Now, this is a male horse as you can see, and he sired ... " and I'm thinking, " How can they tell this is a male without the glance underneath - where nothing exists in the painting - unless MAYBE they have been raised by horsie-type folks who know other ways to tell a boy horse from a girl, which ain't unheard of in these here parts. But there is no way the general kid population can tell. Nor could I, quite frankly, and perhaps she should have forgotten the whole " as you can see " bs. Thus my interest. Stubbs (1724-1806) was alive during the Industrial Revolution, Romanticism, Realism etc., and I am sure some of you history buffs can improve on this definition. He did Prince of Whales who would later be IV. " n Period (1837-1901) Queen restored dignity to the crown of England.

No. I am not :-) I looked at them more and they seem to show mares but not stallions? I guess he is a *little* early for the n period, but it seems like they were always trying to protect those dainty ladies from such things, they might faint, y'know? I don't know when the daintiness started, but some of the pictures in the 1600s seem downright ribald, and even more so in, say, Chaucer's work. But I'm not real good with dates. This thread reminds me of a fairy tale book my Dad had, from his childhood times in Germany. It had all kinds of stuff you would NEVER see in a kids book today ... it was cartoons, and they always made sure to show the little anus of the dog when it was seen from behind, for instance. Which to be sure is THERE when you see a dog, but I never see it portrayed in cartoons today, which made me realize we really do edit out more stuff than we think. They also tended to show kids being eaten by ogres and stuff like that.

Many of the gals were chiming in with bra sizes (IIRC you were one of them) when we were speaking about female anatomy, but now that we talk about lovely male body parts, the conversation has gone rather mute on the female side, except for some brave efforts. I count Carol among the brave, even if we view sexuality differently. It is like and I discussed, many women are apparently more comfortable with the sexuality and anatomy of other females than they are of males. I am just not in the majority here. That's how I see it. And that makes me wonder: If obsessing over boobs was a *possible* sign of nourishment lacking, what is obsessing over penises a sign of?
