the women are beautiful and loverly smooth skin. nothing sexual

[mykevin81]

people who thinks that nudity here is an act of sexuality, they should be a shame of themselves for they are the ones making it sexual...........

@AjahDawn I am from the West and I agree with you 100%. Nudity when in the proper context is beautiful. Unfortunately, the people here see it as sexual and nothing more, thus the confusion on their part, but not mine.

Why edit it, we shouldn't care if the west doesn't understand. these are our African traditions, our culture and if they don't like it WHO CARES??
