Public Viewing of 3D glamour photographs

Common courtesy, ettiquette, and manners must include consideration of those
who do not wish to view certain types of glamour 3D photographs. Glamour
includes a wide range of images from fully clothed persons to scantily
clothed to partially clothed or fully unclothed. (aka: nude but not rude).
One must also be cognizant of local laws before presenting such material. It
will be those who take exception to seeing nudity who may pursue legal
action.
Inform people that glamour images are to be presented. Be upfront in your
description of the degree of nudity to be shown. Truth in packaging; truth
in advertising. People can then choose to view or not view the material.
The images are then shown in "privacy" to a willing audience; not sprung
upon an unsuspecting audience. Getting your giddies from trying to shock
people only advertises your level of immaturity.
A comparison: If you want to smoke, you are free to smoke; I just choose
that your smoke not get in my eyes. (You are also free to put a loaded gun
to your head and pull the trigger - much faster and cheaper than smoking)
I have seen glamour photographs of people fully and partially clothed, and
unclothed that, in my opinion, run the gamut from wow, to beautiful, to
unpleasant, to what I consider to be downright nauseating and even obscene.
I do not expect that others should hold exactly the same opinion as I do
about each photo.
Photograph, view, project what you choose, in freedom, between consenting
adults - don't break any laws. Be honest and upfront, or you deserve the
consequences of those you wittingly offend, as there will a l w a y s be
people (and perhaps a spiritual entity) who are offended at something that
you find unoffensive.
Whether you approve or disapprove of glamour-nudity in photography, try to be
at least sensitive to the notion that someone else has a natural and/or legal
right to have a different point of view than you. Give up trying to make
others think as you do; you might as well try to change someone's religion as
to change their viewpoint on glamour photographs that include some degree of
nudity. It just might be that their viewpoints regarding glamour-nudity are
intertwined with their religion, which thus makes the issue eternal.
