Sexy Nude doll photography

As someone who takes nude photos of (my) dolls quite often, I have to say that I don't find doll-nudity
(or any nude for that matter) sexy. I actually have never thought of inanimate objects (or even real-people) as "sexy,"
but maybe it's because I'm old and take the meaning of the word too literally. Regardless, I believe that
the real "degeneracy/perversion" of things is only in people's heads and not in the image or subject itself.
If someone looks at an image of a nude doll and has dirty/lewd thoughts, then it’s due to that person’s own perversion
and not because of the image itself. If someone looks at an image of a nude doll posed in a deliberately “sexual”
manner and has lewd thoughts, then the image served its purpose. ^.~ However, to me people are not perverted
because they take nude photos of their dolls, or look at nude dolls. To me people are perverted when they purposely
look at nudity (of any kind) and have lewd thoughts – to me nudity in itself is not sexy or perverted, and I don’t believe
I’ve ever taken sexy photo of my dolls.

Nude photo shoots is ok for me, I think it's a kind of arts and to consider it in a beautiful way but not a sexual way.

 

I'm not sure why it even offends people to be honest. I mean, I'm an artist and I draw nudity all the time, it's always tasteful. It's another way of showing your dolls beauty. And like Freya1924 said, it's NOT pornography, they are made of resin.

 

I agree 100% that nudity does not automatically equal anything sexual. However, does having 'lewd' thoughts about a picture (whether simply nude or intentionally erotic) really equal perversion? I would see that more as fairly typical human behavior, considering that we are biologically designed to have an interest in sex (otherwise we'd have all died out long ago ). The word 'perversion' suggests behavior that is deviant/not normal -- I'm not so sure that it really applies here.

 

I like the idea of artistic nudity, because I think the human body is beautiful- regardless of the gender. However, I've seen certain things done in the bjd community that I don't agree with, but luckily DoA doesn't allow that sort of thing, which is why I hang out here most of the time.

That said, you can do very tasteful nude photos that won't offend. I've seen some lovely shots in the gallery of nude dolls that aren't sexual in the least, and are quite beautiful. I do know however, that some people like to offend, and if that's the case then they won't be doing it on DoA- see rules for clarification.

I don't think that it's actually possible to go for porn with a BJD though- it's plastic in essence, so attempts at that would be more ridiculous then anything, but there is an absolute limit to what I'm going to put up with looking at. Tasteful nudity can highlight body blushing and display the lines of the doll in a lovely way- dolly porn is just extremely lowbrow for whomever actually cared to try it.

As for taking 'sexy' pictures, that seems to be a bit of gray area to me. I feel like you can't really judge someone for taking a sexy doll pic because again, as long as it isn't attempting some sort of freakish dolly smex, then I think you could/should probably get away with it without being penalized. As for why you'd want to, there are probably a bunch of really complicated psychological reasons for that, and I don't think you should label someone because of what may be a pretty basic set of human instincts. I guess I probably define 'sexy' as something different (I'm sure we all have different definitions for it' so for me, taking a 'sexy' pic of one of my boys is him with his top half off... I think that's the height of sexy personally, and I'd hate to be labled a 'pervert' for thinking that a guy with his top half off is ridiculously hot... that's just me though. So suppose that if we're talking about that, then heck yes I'd take sexy doll pictures!

 

I've yet to see a set of pics that make me think of pron. I've done about a handful of shots where my doll is in provocative poses, and I see nothing wrong with doing provocative shots. When done well, they are rather artistic. I'm not really the type to take nude pics of my doll as I can't find any poses that are really...artistic? I guess thats the word. If someone can pull off nice nude doll shots then theres not a problem. I personally don't do it because from when I tried to do a nice shot but theres no clothes, the doll is just too still for my taste. To me, clothes seem to make the doll a bit more alive than without. Thats my opinion.

 

I think tasteful nude pictures of dolls can be really beautiful. The resin looks similar to completely flawless human skin, and gives them an unusual feeling of realism. However I find distasteful, quickly shot photos of dolls intended to be 'erotic' rather unpleasant to look at.

 

I have absolutely no problem with nude dolls as long as they are "adult" dolls. Child dolls can be nude if it's innocent- afterall, I live at the beach where kids don't bother with bathing suits until they are four or five years of age and there is nothing sexual about that.
In fact, I'd love to do some nude photographs of dolls and currently have a thread going here looking for suggestions for good nude doll bodies.

I also don't mind "implied sexuality" in doll photography ("implied" meaning before or after the act has or will occur, not implying the act itself). Sexuality is a part of life, and these dolls reflect life. I personally find explicit shots of dolly (and human) sex to be boring and distasteful.

Sexuality is everywhere, at least in American culture. Tell me those Calvin Klein Obsession commercials aren't sexual! At the same time, I find something like that where the sexuality is implied wayyy more erotic than, for instance, a page out of Hustler.

 

Personally, I think all kinds of doll photography are okay. If it's just nudity, if it's sexy but not sexual, or if it's flat out pornography, I don't care. As long as no human being is being hurt, there's not problem. If the owner finds pornographic pictures of their doll fun to take, then they should be free to do so.

I do feel that if they want to post them on the internet they should do so in a semi-private way with lots of warnings so people can avoid that if they don't want to look at it, but that's my only stipulation.

 

Well, I am a weird person by most “normal” standards (of my own culture).
I probably didn’t explain myself very well in my first post. What I meant is that to me
people who purposely seek nudity (in this case doll-nudity, but any would apply) for “sexual purposes,”
are perverted. I am by no means saying that my word is the law the world revolves around,
or anything of the sort – I am simply stating that to me, a person who seeks nudity for the
propose of fulfilling sexual/and/or/lewd fantasies, is a pervert. I was stating my personal opinion,
not the standards most people have of nudity or sex – I thought the OP wanted to know
people’s personal take on the subject of nude-doll photography, not what is standard ( as seen by the masses).
That’s how I focused my response. ^.~

In short terms, I don’t imply that people are perverts for those reasons already mentioned,
I meant that it is my personal view/opinion, that people are perverts for the already stated reasons.
I hope that makes a tiny bit of sense. ^____^

DoA doesn't allow explicit stuff, so actual pron you're not going to see here. And I have no particular problem with dolly pron. No one gets exploited there. My only problem with RL pron is that sometimes people are. The fact that many, many human beings find nudity sexually stimulating I have no issue with. I'm not into RL pron, but other people are and that's fine. And I do think dolls or animation or 2D line drawing is perfectly capable of being pron. They still represent the human form.

In terms of art/photographs, I'm not very interested in nudes. What's hinted at, whether in terms of partial nudity or what is probably about to happen between two characters, that's more interesting to me. (Well, sometimes a fujoshi like me does need a good dose of blatant BL ). As others have stated, the line between artistic nudity and pornography isn't the same for everybody. Pornography isn't actually a dirty word (heh) to everybody. What's defined as tasteful for one can be not so tasteful for another. Yet another female nude usually just makes me shrug, but I've never seen a photo in the galleries of that nature that I would consider tasteless.

 

This. I have no issues with pornography, be it doll or human, so I don't see why people should feel perverted or ashamed of producing or consuming doll porn. If it floats your boat, it floats your boat. Not all nudes are pornographic, of course, but even if your tastes are beyond artistic nudity, so what?

 

Are you ok with taking sexy photos of your dolls? yes, though my husband will probably poke fun of me when i inevitably do.
When does it become doll pron? when its meant to stimulate.
Is posing your doll over a chair, or taking a shot angled between her legs more towards the doll porn end? specific, but sure. but not necessarily. ive seen human genital shots be more artistic than meant to stimulate so it depends.
What do you think of people who take photos of their dolls like this? nothing really. I generally judge photos by their quality more than just their subject matter. there are some shoots on controversial doll i find just amazing. Sadly i think a lower level of skill =porn but a high level of skill = artistic nude. not always, but i see that judgement a lot.
Do you think that makes them perverted? Or tasteless in sexy nude doll photography? Lol, im all about the "perverted" i dont think a lot of people have totally accepted "vanilla" tastes, but there is still a lot of shame around sex and sexuality. I find it only natural to see sexuality in all kinds of things and see how a natural progression of having a realistic human likeness would lead to the eroticism of it.

 

Personally, if it's male, I don't care. Whether it's artistic nudity, porn, doll nudity, dolly porn, etc. The only thing I can't stand is female nudity. Yes, even in doll form. And yes, even the artistic nudes. I can appreciate beautiful female doll bodies, but I just would rather not have a female. I guess that I'm just sick of how sexualized women are, or how "beautiful" women's bodies are supposed to be. I don't know. My idealized bjd would be something that has a very feminine face and a fairly masculine body.

I don't necessarily dislike people that photograph female nudes. To me, it's like rap. I hate rap, but I don't hate people who like it. What would be the point?

 

I completely agree. You have to be careful not to drift into vulgarity or you lose the beauty and the art that these dolls embody.

 

Are you ok with taking sexy photos of your dolls?
Definately, since I myself take a lot erotic photos of my dolls. From not-so-naughty lingerie shots into fetish subjects and everything between, with individual doll and pairs. That depends heavily on the photographed character that what area suits him/her. I'm interested in in real life erotic male photography from its artistic aspects, so due that reason photographing dolls seems quite "natural" for me. I would happily to show some examples on my doll photos but this forum won't allow it

When does it become doll pron?
Some said that it would be when theres some action itself simulated, but it doesn't necessarily have to have that to become porn. It highly depends on how "setting the mood" is done (background, props, doll clothing if they happen to wear any) and especially lighting, photo angles and how well the tension between the characters is shown.

Is posing your doll over a chair, or taking a shot angled between her legs
more towards the doll porn end?
Previous answer suits here pretty much too. It depends on how it's done. You can pose your doll over a chair without getting it look sexy at all, but if you give the photo certain aspects, then yes.

What do you think of people who take photos of their dolls like this?
Go ahead!

Do you think that makes them perverted? Or tasteless in sexy nude doll photography
No, I do not think.
Erotics is quite hard area on doll photography. I've seen loads of not so good photos and photos which would've been a lot better if there were more focus on the lights and angles. Those make BIG part on this photography genre. So far I've hardly ever seen photos that would cross term 'tasteless' in my mind.

there's this topic on "sex and nudity within the bjd community" which handles quite similar area

 

Are you ok with taking sexy photos of your dolls?
Personally, If i were the one taking pictures i would feel embarrased but thats just my personality. ^^'' Lol. Everyone else, Its fine.

When does it become doll pron?
Its porn when its just vulgar and its not done for a storyline or anything its just for people to "look at" in a perverted way and not in a way thats related to a character or story.

Is posing your doll over a chair, or taking a shot angled between her legs
more towards the doll porn end?
Again when its just for pervertness and not for an actual story where the sexual aspect or whyever theyre like that, then yes, otherwise if its for something with meaning, then no.


What do you think of people who take photos of their dolls like this?
Its fine, photography is art after all. And many people think they want a romantic aspect in their dolls.

Do you think that makes them perverted? Or tasteless in sexy nude doll photography?
Its only perverted when its done for a vulgar purpose.

 

I see what you're saying but I think it's one of those times where a word is getting used in a way that doesn't really fit the situation. Being a pervert really does mean that your behavior is abnormal. Even if looking at pics for sexual purposes is not your thing (which isn't weird either IMO), that doesn't mean that the behavior is deviant. You of course are entitled to your opinion, but I don't think it's accurate. I usually don't go nuts over definitions and stuff like that, but this is one of those times that it seems right to bring up, as something specific is being applied to other people. And while of course the OP asked for personal opinions, it's still a debate thread so I have to politely disagree with you on this

 

I think you have been very polite actually and I don't mind that you disagree with my opinion at all. ^ ^
I think the main “issue” here is that my morals might be different than the norm.
To me perversion has to do with morals, not deviancy per se – if you look up the definition of “pervert,”
there will be many and all vary a bit, but most definite it as having “warped” values/morals,
about sex/sensuality. I know more than well that moral-values vary not only culture to culture,
but also individual to individual. So my morals might be bit more “severe” in certain ways than
what is “normal,” but I still believe that I am applying the word “pervert” within its proper usage. ^ ^

I think that the sexual nature of a nude-doll photo can be debated and there are many interesting aspects about it,
but I don’t know if I agree that people’s personal opinions (or morals in this case) can/or/should be debated.,
Unless you are the person’s parent and think you have control of their thoughts it seems like bordering
on the selfish – it seems a bit arrogant (IMHO), not directed at you, but just generalizing.



As a deviant (not in sexual-context) myself, it would be more interesting to know just what “sexy” is to normal people.
I think many don’t use it to stand for its literal meaning, so it would be interesting to learn what is
“sexy nude doll photography” to most normal people. Personally I think it’s creepy that people find inanimate-objects sexy,
but more so when it comes to dolls, but then again I am a weirdo. XD

I've done some tasteful romantic sexy pictures with my Naruto and Sakura 1/3 scale dolls. I don't consider it pornographic. Yuu Watase drew some beautiful romantic lovemaking scenes in several of her shoujo manga series. I see the scenes either in manga or with dolls, if the characters are passionately in love with each other like romance novels rather than porn. Porn focuses on genitalia and depicts the sexual act as "dirty" not the ultimate sharing of each other two people in love can have. My pictures were based on a premise from my fanfic, Naruto and Sakura on their wedding night, dressed in sleeping yukata. The series of photos are about my favorites I've taken of those two dolls. I did one other set that doesn't go to full nudity- Naruto is barechested and Sakura's shirt is unzipped all the way with a hint of breasts showing, and she's sitting in Naruto's lap. Naruto and Sakura are both not so secretly a bit pervy and have very passionate natures. Sakura in her love confession to Naruto in the manga said in subtle way she wanted to become a sexual couple (Naruto hasn't acted on that yet, but he's not holding back from romantic style physical contact with her anymore and she definitely liked the contact that they have had.) So I consider my doll pictures of that style in character for them.
