I have wondered about the Greek statues we see in museums. They seem to portray the human form to show its grace. The intent is not to incite lust but to show the symmetry and form of humans. I have never thought of those things as evil.
Pergy, the thing about those is that they were created in a spirit of hedonism by artists who saw the place of men in a way very different than the Bible presents man's proper place to us. Yes, it was to show symmetry and form but I would say that the motivation behind it and the appreciation for such a form was not as academic/artistic as you might think.

And personally, I think that we should all make an attempt to incorporate the words "hoochie mamas" into every PB thread for a period of no less than 30 days.
