"There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with female beauty. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Squat. It needed to be said, so we said it. And people are listening..." -D.Bell (founder and editor of Body in Mind)

Testimonial from a beautiful woman

We were recently delighted to receive this lucid and vivacious email from a female fan, who we will call, Lex. It's our most recent answer to those beauty-haters out there who claim Body in Mind is nothing more than an adolescent male fantasy. Think again.

Hi, I just stumbled across your site while looking for something else, but, what a stumble! I'm an engineer by profession, have a 160+ IQ and size 38DD breasts, blonde hair and a pretty face, and well, you can imagine the rest.

Still, relationships have been few and far between. I was molested as a child and learned to hate my body. After a teen/20's relationship life that mostly is best described as "seduced and abandoned" (I was a conquest; never the dream girl, but the challenge), I'm someone who can relate totally to Leanne's article about the beauty who spends Friday nights, alone, dateless. I don't even TRY to look "great" or "my best" necessarily, partly because I still have some of the tomboy in me and partly because I know, when I do, it DOES engender some resentment in other women, even though they profess to be friends.

Ironically, while often feeling unloved and unattractive, doomed never to find love or relationship, this year has been the discovery of a married co-worker's 10 year "crush" on me and that half the men in my office (all married) have little crushes on me. I genuinely had no clue, particularly since I don't try to act sexy or flirty at work and half the time am in jeans, workboots and a big baggy sweater.

Lately, I'm in a very weird space mentally. I am discovering whole new dimensions to my sexuality. I have been wondering what it would be like to be able to freely go topless anytime, anywhere, at work, or whatever, not just me, but anyone... not for tawdry or lewd sexual stuff, but - exactly as you say - because breasts are beautiful and doubly so on beautiful women.

Can a beautiful woman/women save the world? Perhaps they can. Considering how often sex can become an addiction, something we love and hate, that causes the abuse of the world and the creatures in it - I say we are DESPERATELY in need of reconnecting with the healing, nurturing, spiritual side of our beings, including our sexuality.

Lately, I've been wondering more and more: What if all women had hard nipples that could be seen all the time? In fact, what if our whole breasts were out there, all the time, in full view? Would the world feel like a more nurturing place?

I began to wonder if I had mine pierced as I had seen on a movie recently, if they stuck up all the time and rings showed through my clothing, or if I simply wore them jeweled beneath my clothes, enhancing their hardness and affording some pleasure and stimulation, if I would mind so much if men stared at them if I was WILLINGLY and INTENTIONALLY inviting them to look, to gaze, to imagine them - not just to have the men imagine they are hard because they are aroused, but to actually HAVE arousing sensations in them as well, to enjoy their hardness as much as someone looking at them enjoys it.

I found a pair of rings that slipped over my nipples and wore them beneath my bra one day. It was a total turn on to know that I had these sexy little things on and I didn't bother to try to hide their hardness under jacket, sweater, etc. Not that those things actually help much. In fact, it was so cold in my office that day that I noticed most of the women were going around crossing their arms in front of them, however, it seemed a shame, because they are beautiful little things after all. I wondered if we all went the OTHER way, and let them salute to the world for all to see, would it be a nicer world?

Later that week, I was walking with my one male friend in a park at lunch and I saw only one other woman who has voluptuous breasts like mine and hard nipples proudly on display. No one was harassing her (as in the story about the women protesting topless and the stupid drooling men in pursuit - true - men need to be re-educated to stop debasing our sexuality) and I felt that for a moment, she was the most beautiful thing in the world not to fear or care if anyone saw that, those quintessential representations of femininity and nurturing. I wondered, is the world so starved for nurturing and love that this is why people pay hundreds, thousands, millions to look at women who are willing to bare themselves naked?

I am still trying, myself, to come to terms with a new understanding of my own sexuality and how to address my own lack of relationships. In writing about it, I think the world would be a fantastic place if beauty and sexuality were more widely available and on display everywhere. I like to look as much as most men and why not? And yet, I realized, if a woman is willing to display herself unashamedly naked or nearly so (and right now, we have only models, strippers and porn stars in this category), she has to be willing to offer that to everyone - not only to prince charmings and young studs. In that respect, the woman in the park was totally on display for anyone who passed by. And when I remove my jacket at work and allow the cold air in the room to do its work, or I'm walking outside and don't bother to button up, I too am I choosing to invite whoever will to look at what is obviously there anyway, and to do so not just without shame, but consciously, intentionally.

It's a strange thing to begin to connect with the power of beauty and sexuality. I don't know what it will lead to, but I'm definitely enjoying the first steps of the journey. I bookmarked your website. Eventually I may decide to join. Thank you for not making me feel bad about being a beautiful and potentially erotic woman.

Thank you, Lex. Your beauty will save the world because it is teaching you to expand and explore the greatness and glory that is you. It is only by realizing what marvellous creatures we can and should be that mankind will learn to value itself, and the world it lives in. This is what female beauty has taught us. And this is what brave, beautiful women like you teach us everyday. You do it by using your beauty the way it was meant to be used: the lovely sight of your hard nipples on your full breasts, proudly displayed, reminds us all to live life to the fullest every day. How can we ever thank you enough for that, except to say that we love you for it.

Tо Opіυm, wherever she is

She was a stripper with perfect breasts and a dazzling white smile. And watching her play pool has stayed with me for over 20 years.

The reason she is burned in my brain was that Opium liked to play in the nude. It was mind- blowing watching her, watching her as she easily and happily chatted with the guys she played with, while everyone else in the place oggled her lovely body.

In fact, I was not alone in observing the marvellous type of beauty she created - in spite of the strippers on stage arching their backs and gyrating their hips, most of the eyes in the place were on Opium playing pool.

The type of beauty Opium created that night was what we call 'superbeauty' - beauty that is stronger than sex. It was the result of a woman allowing her beauty to exist for its own sake, performing no utilitarian purpose. She was not trying to get men excited, she was not trying to make money. She was simply naked. And thus, superbly beautiful.

The rarity of this phenonmenon makes me aware that there are too few, very restricted and traditional ways to enjoy the site of a woman's body for its own sake, and even fewer ways to enjoy a woman showing it. Sure we have nudist colonies and, well...well actually, that's it. We have nudist colonies. They are the only situation mankind has ever created on purpose to enjoy the sight of a pretty woman naked for its own sake. Yet the kind of beauty Opium exuded could not exist in such a place. She was so beautiful partly because everyone else around her was clothed. It was only her unique loveliness that let her get away with being completely and acceptably naked in a social setting. Her beauty put her in a special class of human beings, a class that was not required to wear clothes.

It's amazing to me that mankind has never invented anything to showcase the beauty of women the way Opium did. Sure we have strip joints, wet-T shirt contests, men's mags and porno movies, but these are all rank with false sexuality, and often with abject crude tastelessness.

Opium demonstrated that sex needn't play a part in our love for female beauty. It's enjoyable for its own sake. It's a perfect thing to do and be a part of, in and of itself. There was no chance of any of the men exploiting the situation into a sexual opportunity. Leaving her clothes off after her set was as far as she was going to go. She was not interested in having sex with anyone. And it was all she needed to do to make the sitaution intensely enjoyable for everyone. How could you create more intense beauty than this, or more safely?

Brave girls like Opium demonstrate that there is room in our society and in the world for this form of pleasure to take on new forms, for situations where a woman can be topless or even nude without endangering or compromising her safety and freedom, but which allow her the pleasure of roaming through the world nude, admired and exhilarated by her own value, by a beauty that she shines on everyone with every move she makes. Such women give men the pleasure of being trusted and rewarded for their truly chivalrous character, the character that inspires them to protect lovely ladies instead of r4ping and murdering them.

Beautiful, brave women deserve to be admired. We need to create situations in which this is possible. I believe the antics which go on during Sprіng Brеаk in Florida are an awkward and unsightly attempt by young people to introduce precisely this kind of dynamic situation/setting in to a social norm. My only complaint about Sprіng Brеаk is that the events and entertainments are overtly sexual and show little if any sophistication. But then sophistication takes time. After all, even the highest forms of gallentry and feminity in love and in art is really nothing more than human reproductive copulation modified and improved by centuries of sophistication, and embued with civility, romance, and glamour.

Similarly, the tweaking and perfecting of nude art took centuries to reach its current levels of artistic freedom and diversity. Thus, women going nude or topless in public with admiring men around will also take centuries to perfect. But I believe Sprіng Brеаk and Mаrdі Grаs escapades are the start of something wonderful, and I believe that Opium playing pool nude was a glimpse down the road to its wonderful eventual sophistication.

For those of us who can't wait, Alеxаndеr Fеdеrоv has perfectly captured the loveliness of Opium playing pool in our latest Body in Mind gallery. Enjoy.
