It's okay to admit that the human body is sexual. It's okay to admit that lots of art has sexy bodies in it. Sexual is not something that only exists in the minds of perverts.

Sarah Silverman shows us the bizarre new #PuritanRevival ideology.

Is the human body sexual though? Every part we use in sex has another use. That said, I'm all for equality in the way we treat nudity

All animals and most plants use sexual reproduction. We are sexual. The specific body parts used for sex acts or for sexual signalling vary from species to species.

The human ear lobe has no function other than sexual signalling and being an erogenous zone. Men's beards are not necessary. They only show masculinity. They are very much like antlers in deer species.

This mandrill has a colorful nose. The peacock has a wild tail. These are sexual traits which attract mates. We have them too.
