Me, too. The human body is wondrously constructed.

I find it fascinating and erotic. And yes, sooo wrong, but sooo hot.

Have you ever wondered why in the SM/DS genre participants often get off on domination by a person so attired in Nazi SS uniform garb? The image creates some hynotic mysterious sexual stimulus like no other. The high boots, the riding crop, the absolute authority the Nazi image protrays is overpowering to the senses and especially erotic.

My bestest play friend is descended from actual post war British Nazi hunters, who spent 1946 onwards kicking in doors and firing revolvers from cars, before they switched to fucking up communists. Anytime i want to get a flinty eyed imperially hard session, I just mention how I want to Domme like ilsa "She wolf of the SS", and it's like paplov's dogs.
Nazism is wrong in RL, so I accept the punishment as it karmacally balances how fucking hot I look in shiney jackboots, suspenders and corset.
Evil is sexy, but still evil.

To my understanding, people donated their bodies to Dr Death for this form of art. If people are willing to have their bodies displayed like this and there is a fan base for these shows, then I can't object to this event.

I had heard that the bodies were "unclaimed" bodies, rather than that they'd been donated by those people. I guess I'd need to research it. This was my objection to the exhibits, as a whole - that it's a terrible desecration. If the owners of the bodies approved, then I guess I couldn't fault the creators and exhibitors of the displays.

The pictures are there on the net, if you go in search of these things, but to me, I find it tasteless and disrespectful, and normally I have a very open mind but there are places I will not go, I have my own limits set there by me, for myself.

The human body, is to me one of the most beautiful creations ever created, a living tribute to the beauty that is ourselves, but there has to be limits, a line drawn in the sand, a place where we should not go, and for me personally, it is exhibitions such as this. The owners of the bodies must have given their body to medical science, as it is a professor that has obtained the bodies for these creations, but surely when someone gives their body to medical science, they hope for their shells to be for the furthering of medical knowlege, not some attention grabbing media display.

The other thing of course, if these bodies had been donated by the owners for medical science, could this professor not be accused of misusing valuable resources for something which is not medical science.

THE bodies are not having sex..they are a physical symbol or metaphor...

Two hollow vessels whose spirit has passed over now represent sexual love/interaction...

If making a donation of your body you agree to USE..not what kind( in general)..
if they are unclaimed...this brings up ethics..because the body is a sacred vessel
* see below

Within minutes we can access the vilest of degradataion and debasement of this act( sexual union)
on the net....
that some will love..some will hate..and these beings are alive with spirit.

IN Oklahoma...hundreds of aboriginal skulls and body parts of ppls's familes had to be fought for to be returned and buried...
They were in boxes in musuem basments..

IN England the decendent of Tazamanians fought for their grandmother's skeleton( the last Tazmanian)..displayed in a glass case..

points to ponder

AND..

one must not mistake OPINION for fact

GQ

and we had an uproar in BANFF CA here inAlberta
when a man got $10,000 grant for his art project..
7 viles of his semen...were taken about in a stroller..
hung in trees(circle of life) and taken to different events..
as his "family"

ya ..

I saw them when they were in the trees..cute little buggers..

When I saw the exhibition it was explicitly stated that the bodies were donated for the purpose of plastination. There were even forms for you to sign up to be plastinated. No thanks!!

Mind you, as far as long-lasting corpse preservation goes, it beats embalming

. No need for lavender sachets in the casket.

Aneirin, when I asked for the pictures, I think it was pretty obvious my request was full of sarcasm - my apologies if I offended your sensibilities and if it wasn't that clear

I don't want to be enbalmed either. The only bad part about being cremated is that some people need to actually view the body as a way to say goodbye. In IL, if not cremated within 24 hours of death, the body MUST be enbalmed which makes cremation moot to me.

My fave method: an environmentally friendly burial. They wrap the body up in a shroud or place it in a biodegradable box and bury it under a tree so that the decomposition fertilizes the soil. It's very cool.

I can't wait

The main reason I've instructed my family for cremation is I don't want to think about being compost. I just want the ash to be spread and useful. I think being enbalmed is pointless.

.....And I CAN wait

Ah, shit, sorry, I didn't see the sarcasm, often literal interpretation is my understanding.

I can't say this is any wierder than other so called art I've seen. I once saw a painting of multicolored french fries that sold for 1/2 million bucks. My kid could have finger painted that when he was 6 but it was supposed to be art. I think human bodies are far more artistic than colored french fries.

Personally I find plastination absolutely fascinating. I certainly dont see it as necrophilia, he didnt have sex with them, he arranged them.... ...big difference... the human body is mother natures art and function combined, fascinating and beautiful and yes slightly morbid:) ...Id love to see the exhibition up close and personal
