The Penis - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Was Afraid to Ask

Young Naturists America posted a very educational post about The Male Penis - Uncovered.  Or you could call it The Penis Revealed!  A Penis Demystified! A Penis Bared! Get to Know The Penis!  Or all of the above . The post's aim is clearly to present the penis in a non-sexual way and I think they truly hit the mark. They talk about the myth of penis size, and why the penis is censored, and penis shame, and more.

My biggest question was...why did they need to call the article the "male" penis?? Is there such a thing as the "female" penis? Why not call it simply "The Penis" ?  Anyway, the post is excellent and once you finish reading about the everything you ever wanted to know about the penis, you get a treat at the end.

Nude Modeling and Figure Drawing

I once had an opportunity to pose for a drawing class years ago when I was in my 20's. Back then I struggled with the decision and ultimately did not pose,  though now I wish I had accepted the invitation. Since I was a novice, I'm sure I would have needed this posing guide.
