It comes up more frequently with regard to womens’ breasts. Trouble is, the “are those real?” conversation trends rapidly toward a sort of body-critical mode of discussion; the sort of folks who’ll post “she’s an ugly pig” whenever they see a woman not in the final throes of terminal anorexia are also the sort of folks who *love* to post “those boobs are fake” whenever someone else has admired some. It’s like they have a compulsion to shit all over anything that other folks have admired.

(I speculate that this is a species of adolescent male one-upsmanship. “You think she’s pretty? She’s a cow, you dork!”)

For some folks (a blessed minority of ErosBlog readers) that’s the only kind of discourse about nudity they are comfortable with. I usually ban their sorry asses, but what I’ve discovered is that other, more friendly sorts of conversation on the topic (like your question) encourages the garbage-talkers to post. So I try not to go there.

The other problem with the “is that real?” threads is pointlessness. Everybody sees the same photo, nobody has better/different information, and so you get a hundred posts going “I think so” / “I don’t think so” and at the end of the day, nobody knows anything more than they did at the beginning. Trouble is, this exercise always turns up a few folks who feel their opinion *must* be correct, even though it’s logically impossible for them to have enough information. And then the pointless arguments start.

Thuse, I prefer to encourage everyone who cares to make a decision … and then keep it to themselves.

A beautiful picture indeed.
