Does that mean Cherubs and cupid will be banned because they are naked children? All the years taking photographs and nothing has happened. The body in an artistic form weather it be a child or an adult is beautiful. The body as a whole is sexual, this has gone too far. In the country you see animals being sexual, you see the penis of a horse. It is ridiculous to ban the art of humanescence. It is as far fetched as banning a horse with an erection or animals breeding. What sort of society are we creating. It only becomes sexual when it is hushed away and not allowed to be natural which is what Bill henson is. His work is natural. Let's face it nakedness has been in art for centuries.
