I too think that we are much too up tight about sexuality in this country
. The artist Jesus posted in the above picture and a few others and was shunned ny most TCers. How many TCers besides Vampiress and I welcomed him?
Many Tiki have been mutilated since missionary influence.
The same thing happened in America in the 1930's after the Hayes commission. It started to relax in the sixties when my mother did the Trade Wind's and Lobster Trap which both had nudity as part of the art.
The Lobster Trap still has the paintings which have been mutilated, the breasts have been painted over and the bronze mermaid had her nipples ground off. Watch a episode of Monty Python Flying Circus here and its been censored for American TV.
