Observers
There appear to be two fully dressed sailors keenly observing the on deck bathing here.
It's interesting to think that this open nakedness was not sexualized back then, but now...too bad for us. In my lifetime, same-sex nakedness was not sexual. Now...even in men's locker rooms it's unacceptable to show your penis.
Well, a life on the ocean wave is much better than going to sea and although I always enjoy something nautical, I'm grateful to have been able to appreciate it all from the comfort of my armchair! Many thanks for a great series.

ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a locker room in so long that I wouldn't personally know, but everything I read says you are correct. Sad.
DeleteOnly in an all-male setting was nudity not sexualized tho. It's like Eden: Put a woman there, innocence goes away.
DeleteAlthough true nudists (naturists) would disagree, the Eden comparison has some validity.
