The English Are Still Too Prudish To Appreciate Nudity

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Based on the public outcry surrounding a university student's nude photo in a collegiate newspaper, some Brits are clearly in possession of long-dormant puritanical streaks.

The unnamed 21-year-old blond from Homerton College, wearing lingerie sans top, posed for the third page of Vivid Magazine, an anonymous Cambridge University publication, apparently a riff on the Sun's regular feature of Page 3 Girls...

Unfortunately, no fully nude photos have leaked onto the web, but we do have a blurry one for you:

"I can't believe she agreed to pose for the magazine. Everyone has been talking about it. I'm sure she must really regret it now."

"Lots of students and professors have seen this. It's a very risky thing to do when you are studying at one of the top universities in the country." [News Locale]

People, we shouldn't wonder whether this kind of thing will hurt her academic career. We should be celebrating the fact that she had the guts to go topless in a magazine that only her fellow academics would read. To be able to hold your head up and not care what these people think after a stunt like this is a very valuable life goal...

Not only the guts, but the nice tits to go with the guts.

But she looks a HELL of a lot older than 21.

As they say, it's not the years but the mileage. She's been ridden hard and put away wet a bit too often.

The Brits are still less prudish than the Americans though... does anyone remember Janet Jackson's nipplegate? Boobs abound in Britain...I'm guessing this was about the context.

I'm an American, and have been living in Europe since 2000, and I'm here to tell you that the English are *at least* as weird and fucked-up about the body and about sexuality, as Americans are. They're not fucked up in exactly the same way, though. Americans are infantile, loud and hypocritical (spring break, mormons, a fetish for sex scandals, the porn industry, abstinence-only education, reality television, mega churches, Paris Hilton) while the English are quietly--but very deeply--suspicious of sexuality. The young fuck a lot, but only because they drink A LOT. The kids get laid, but at the cost of the UK being the public vomiting capital of the world.

But the fundamental anxieties, that the body is icky, and the belief that sex is a nasty thing that bad men to confused, weak helpless women, are at least as deep and maybe even deeper than they are in the US.

I think those are some rockin' hips, and I admire she put herself out there like that. I think she's got a great and very human (meaning not scary plastic pornstar) body.
