Can statues be sexy?
 
YES.
 

 

 

Please post examples, and try to focus more on faces/eyes than on naked bodies and such.

they can be very aesthetically pleasing but sexy is about the brain

king_buzzo 04.06.2007 06:03 AM

Yes.

!@#$%! 04.06.2007 10:41 AM

hell yes!

(that one from the photo is absolutely beautiful, but not particularly sexy for me though. but there are others...)

!@#$%! 04.06.2007 10:48 AM

example: notice the money shot on the nereids w/ the horses between the legs. 100% porn! (esp. the one on the right)

That would be sexy if geese (for that matter, most fowl) didn't scare the hell out of me.

nicfit 04.06.2007 01:43 PM

you guys are kinky... I find sexy the eyes of the one I posted, you are taking the thread to a whole another level ;) !

SynthethicalY 04.06.2007 01:44 PM

I would have found it offensive if they would have showed the penis of that thing. Bestiality is just wrong.

yep, the head is tilted on one side, it looks like another "big bird" with "more evil" beak.

Savage Clone 04.06.2007 01:49 PM

I don't like this one as much.

 

nicfit 04.06.2007 01:53 PM

^^^
this ain't sexy at all.

Savage Clone 04.06.2007 01:55 PM

Leda looks like a tranny in that one.

SynthethicalY 04.06.2007 01:56 PM

Yeah the legs are too muscular.

I'm sorry there isn't much of a focus on face / eyes, but surely Casanova counts.

 


one for the ladies.... ;)

 

:p

truncated 04.06.2007 02:21 PM

^^If that's supposed to be phallic, it's not working for me. Frankly, I must say it resembles feces.

Hence why I said "most fowl." This includes swans. I shudder to think what pain a beak could inflict upon such an erogenous body part.

it's not (unless you count the balls??).

it's the ass end of a cat statue in barcelona. :p

but I could see how it's tail could be looked at as phallic from that angle.

the "for the ladies" bit was mostly for my own entertainment.

Can statues be sexy?

Jeff Koons asked this question in some of his early life-size '90s sculpture.
Although, he maintained he was just presenting the everyday ala pop art.

These glass pieces are from a Kama Sutra series.

For some unknown reason I had a flashback of a visit to the tate modern a few years ago, when reading the title. Though this one's anything but sexy

Cynthia Plaster Caster.

 




 


Jimmi’s piece wasn’t that long, but it was as thick as a woman’s wrist. It measured 6.25 inches in circumference and was a whopping 2 inches in diameter, which coincidentally is the exact circumference of a Fender Strat at the 16th fret.

It's the internet, move along.

nicfit 12.05.2007 09:37 AM

Ha ha , I just think Bernini can make marble look soft, and it's quite amazing in my book.

fishmonkey 12.05.2007 12:59 PM

did you know that a statue of a person on a horse represents a person who fought in a battle,

if both front legs of the horse are in the air the person died in battle , if only one leg of the horse is in the air he died after the battle from battle wounds, and if no legs are in the air well then he's a lucky bastard!

Hello Fishy, how you been?

Savage Clone 12.05.2007 01:27 PM

It should be called "Gimme a Sammich, Like Yesterday."

Savage Clone 12.06.2007 04:17 PM

It would appear the answer to this thread is "no."
