Thortons, a British chocolatier, was forced to remake over £30,000 worth of promotional material because a survey of their customers yielded an interesting statistic: only four percent of the women they surveyed found the naked male form sexually attractive. A mostly nude male was going to be used in a campaign for Thortons, but has been slightly altered to include a fig leaf over his johnson.

The proposed image, of a naked male model cropped just above the tideline, has now been hastily altered to include a foil fig leaf.



The last-minute change came at the height of a marketing campaign intended to re-invigorate a line of bonbons called "Eden". The campaign included the poster photographs, to be used in 600 Thorntons shops, the redesign of the packet to look like an Agent Provocateur knicker box, and a telephone survey of 1,024 adults about attitudes to sex and chocolate.



Even men, the survey discovered, prefer to see their loved ones somewhat covered up. Sixty-six per cent of men thought "partially clothed" was as attractive as a woman gets - six times as many as were turned on by full nudity. […]



Only marginally more women - 46 per cent, as opposed to 42 per cent - preferred the partially- clothed to the fully-clothed male form, and practically none thought naked was best.

So, since only 4% like chocolate with naked men, 96% of women want confident man chocolate, bad boy chocolate, and chocolate that doesn't call them back.

I prefer a fully nude male, those little fig leaf things [examples] just scream, "We wanted to go all tey way, you know what you're missing, if you can lift it to see what underneath you will, but we won't add the devil-member."

Makes me think of my experience tonight viewing Reagan's new set of photographs posted here for us.

I'm thinking "Look at her amazing face! Look at those marvelous expressions, expressive expressions. She should be an actress! That's all she need show us. She is giving us herself! That is more than enough! She is a thousand sweet people all rolled up in one! A walking breathing miracle on wheels!"

Then she disrobed. I repeated "Oh thank you! What a wonderful world! Oh thank you! What a wonderful world!"
over and over and over.

So, I guess I would dig my chocolate statues no matter how they were portrayed.

Just because we don't often see all of our bodies, selves, in this current culture doesn't make a collar bone less cute than a clit hood. But it does carry some cache, the hidden. It's imposed on us though.

When you love sombody, though, it balances again; that's cool!
