In the last 2 weeks, we've received scores of answers to our question "Other than money, why would a beautiful young woman would pose nude?". But not a single person gave us the right answer. So I guess I will have to tell you myself.

The only good reason to pose nude is to create beauty.

So many missed this because many perfectly intelligent people still have a hard time understanding that female beauty is, can be, and should be an end in itself, something enjoyable for its own sake, alone, without sexualization, and without pretense - that pure beauty is one of the most profound, rewarding, and inspiring phenomena we know of.

If you inderstand that female beauty is a very real and crucially important thing, then you can see it's a legitimate talent, like any other, and that we should admire the women who use it the same way we do anyone who creates any kind of beauty, such as musicians, architects, actresses, artists, novelists, etc.

And if female beauty is an admirable talent, then we should consider nude modeling a proper profession, and we should encourage young women to enter it if they choose since it is one of the most noble we can think of, because its goal, is to create beauty.

Some of our viewers said models should pose nude simply because they are beautiful, but this is not quite the same thing. I'm talking about creating beauty, not just sharing it.

For example, Vаlеry Anzіlоv is a master creator of beauty. And his brilliant photos have something we rarely see anymore, something that is one of the greatest glories of mankind - man-made female beauty. Valery paid his models to make themselves pretty and to pose nude, and we paid him to create beautiful images with them. That's how it works people.

Unfortunately, thoughout mankind's history, female beauty has never been considered a moral value, never an end in itself, never something that can or should be created, so no one ever thinks of it this way. Thus most models see posing nude as a stepping stone to something else, instead of a career in itself, and far too many men still prefer free samples over a Body in Mind membership, implying that they think women should pose nude for free.

Wouldn't it be great if all beautiful models dedicated themselves to a lifelong goal of creating ever more beautiful images, of learning about female beauty and dedicating themselves to it as passionately as a musician to his music? The female beauty in the world and in images would get better and better, more and more inspiring. There would be a renaissance of female beauty, and the world would enjoy all the benefits of female beauty tenfold. But this will never happen as long as we see female beauty as natural, instead of man-made.

Everyone who answered our contest question we will get a free one-month membership (we'll send your access codes in a few days). They've paid for it with their thoughful answers. For everyone else, unless you prefer neanderthal women over modern beauties, please consider paying Body in Mind for a membership. The money goes to our photographers and our models.

Go ahead, create some beauty.
