I stumbled across an interesting site today that I thought our readers would enjoy.
"Naked People" is a German site (so unfortunately I can't read the small bit of info available) that seems to be an art project by designer Sebastian Kempa. Obviously, it has photos of naked people but it goes far beyond that.
Instead of salaciously featuring hot sculpted and airbrushed models, the designer features regular, ordinary folk. You see them in their clothes to begin, but when you click the photo their clothes dissolve and you see them in the buff. Young, old, fat, skinny, male, female, in shape and out, the website shows all without commentary.
As I clicked through the 24 photos, I was struck by the sheer beauty of all of them - whether I would have found them sexually attractive or not. (In fact, the guy to the right was the sexiest one. Check out the site to see his goodies.) It was fun to get the small shock occasionally, like the middle-aged businessman with the biggest penis or the uptight-looking teacher with a shaved vagina (both pictured after the jump), and a reminder not to judge a book by it's cover. However, I was disappointed to see photos 15-24 focus on slender young females instead of the diversity the others showed; it moved the project dangerously back from "art" to "gratuitous nudity."
It's worth the small amount of time spent clicking and there's no advertising. Before and after pictures of the businessman and the teacher after the jump - but not safe for work!

That's interesting.
... anybody we know? ...
I bet a few of us could add a touch of the unexpected.
I know a German woman teacher.
Odd that every single one of the 24 has shaved genitals. Or does one have to be denuded of hair to qualify as "naked" for the purposes of this art project?
Some of them aren't shaved. I went back to look and the third guy in isn't shaved and some of the women (mostly younger) aren't.
Urm, I guess it depends on what one means by 'shaved.' I would include 'neatly trimmed,' which #3 and the women you mention seem to be. But as commenter Harry suggests, maybe it's just that most Germans prefer to be streamlined down there, rather than something peculiar to this effort.
Congress would be better off with naked lawmakers. More honest, less pretense, and we would see if penis envy and size really mattered.
Pelosi has the biggest one of all
Agreed re: diversity (I also continue to suffer under the illusion that art is a many splendored thingy), but what strikes me as most out of the ordinary is either shaved pubes are a requirement for participation in the "art project" or an obsession of the Deutsche Demokratische Republik.
ditto "apology." my bad. for "shaved" please insert "trimmed" as either requirement or obsession.
i am nonetheless, yours very truly, HARRY

If you're still wondering about what the first paragraph on the index page says, here's my translation:
"Clothing is our second skin. It covers, contains, can act as a mirror of our inner selves or mask us. From clothing one can discern someone's profession, social standing or even emotional state. An outfit lets us deduce that a persona is a banker, an office worker, an insurance agent, etc.
In our society this [clothing] is a marker of reputation.
But how far can we take these assumptions?
Can we trust the exterior without question [without limit]? What's really underneath [it all]?
Will the illusion be disturbed if suddenly a tattoo is revealed from under the suit, or does the person continue to be unreadable [inscrutable]?
Here, you have the opportunity to explore the differing effects of a person when they are dressed and when the are undressed."
I can tell you from firsthand knowledge, that the speculation "maybe it's just that most Germans prefer to be streamlined down there" is NOT correct.
LOL very cool...
I need to get to a gym..
the picture is so cooool i liked the mans penis just wish i had sex with her and him hahahahahahahahahhahaah lol
wowza large penis i would stick that in my fannny anyday
For the millionth time, the vagina is the opening, the vulva is the whole mound. I can't (and don't want to) imagine a woman shaving her vagina...
Otherwise, nice find!
Priceless! XD
I was not drinking coffee when I read that, therefore there is no spew on my keyboard.
For this, I am grateful.
I stumbled across this old post today and I have a question. Okay, two: why are so many these supposedly naked women wearing shoes, heels, even boots?
And why is nearly everyone focused on the genitals of strangers an ocean away, to the exclusion of all else?
That could turn out to be a very good reason to wear clothes.
It would have been funnier had the businessman sported a PA and nipple rings, and the schoolteacher had tats all over the covered parts of her body.
