@MoveOverCasanova The other series is "The Divine Michelangelo." It has 12 parts, I think. Why invent history with ideas like "strong sihouettes?". Why not accept what is common knowledge? Are you going to rewrite history for da Vinci, Bernini, Caravaggio, too? Don't you think homosexuals can make art?

@MoveOverCasanova Well I don't think it's about looking for an answer of some kind. I told you the simple truth, what historians have always known about Michelangelo, the Popes, the Cardinals and the practices of his time. If you read some books you'll see it in print. There are two other series of videos about him on youtube where it's mentioned explicitly. One is "BBC a Film Michelangelo" parts 1 - 4. I think male models in dresses are mentioned in part 1.

@EraserKneaded knowing a bit about creative process and painting, i think the answer is more simple -- michelangelo was a master of the "STRONG" silhouette, he was a master at painting defined structures like muscles -- ans for painting/drawing a woman`s curves you need a kind of style he simply was not used to -- he was not good "at home" painting female forms, which does not mean anything about him personally to me...

@MoveOverCasanova I should have thought of this before. Take a look at "The Pieta", the sculpture of Mary and Christ about 2/3 of the way through this video. Mary has a pretty strong build, wide broad shoulders, deep chest, strong posture. Only her head looks like the female you might expect. It's an example of a male model dressed as a woman. Add bumps for breasts, replace the head...

@EraserKneaded look at what michelangelo has achieved -- do you really think someone like him would have never seen a nude woman?? i guess he knew a hell lot more than sissy art historians dare even to think of...));_)

@MoveOverCasanova If you look at females in Michelangelo's work, many of the younger ones look like males with a few extrra curves, because the churchmen preferred it. Michelangelo used male models dressed as women. Chances are he never saw a nude female in his life, but he wouldn't have cared. You can tell the gender preferences of wealthy people through history by checking to see who's in the art.
