I think that the thing that's making many miss the main point of tasteful nudes is the quick labelling that we're used to in real life. When viewing tasteful nudes your job isn't to label or to judge, your goal should be a profound enjoyment of beauty while transcending material thoughts or any distractions, i.e. it should be similar to meditation; approached with a clear open mind and a passion for the life forces and the discovery of truth, whatever that truth may be.
Let's imagine that you're at a park and that you encountered a magnificently beautiful rose, the rose's beauty stopped you from thinking about your worries, your fears, and the bombarding thoughts that are racing through your head. You no longer hear the barking of the dogs or the noise of the children, the rose absorbs your complete and absolute attention with its simple beauty.
What would you do if you're in that situation?
I liken those who suddenly have an urge to pick that flower and to deprive the world and itself from its selfless beauty as those who start having sexual fantasies about the models. Not that sexual fantasies are wrong, but sex is beauty that's shared, not beauty that's forcibly taken, not even in one's head.
Others may just look away and get back to their train of thoughts, continue being distracted and even regret "wasting" a few seconds contemplating the beauty of the rose. Those not only lose an opportunity to have a few rare moments of inner peace which may enhance their ordinary daily functions, but they also miss the point of life. Sometimes one needs to be a machine, but not giving the machine some rest will lead to quick erosion of its parts.
Also, There are those who will mindlessly point at the flower and start talking about its sexual function and the evolutionary benefit of flowers represented in their ability to attract certain species of insects that will aid in the pollination process and the reproduction of those plants. It's great knowing the function of something, but that function should lead to even more fascination, not total obsession. There's no point in pointing at nude female bodies and saying that those forms are the result of eons of sexual and natural selection without seeing the complete picture and appreciating what one sees, with an open mind and beautiful emotions.
Then there are those who ideally start inspecting every aspect of the flowers beauty, see how the lines and curves join together to form that picturesque view. They pay attention to the fine details that others miss in their hurry, they let themselves take what the rose is trying to give the world, which is simple beauty. Those benefit the most and rediscover themselves and life through the simple dedication of a few moments to unleash their pure human emotions and to get to know their true self without any artificial boundaries or limitations.
I think that we all can lead more satisfying lives if we take a few moments each day to enjoy life, in all its magnificence and beauty. Seeing beyond the material rose and aiming for the higher meanings that can direct us towards a better future and alleviate the stresses of our modern lives.
Experience beauty!
