Interesting how he is always the one kissing her, never the other way around. Especially for what is titled "Intimacy", one assumes it is shared. Otherwise it is obsession or masturbation.
My dear JMG, another cliche of American prudery has such prudes making declarative manifestos regarding issues about which they know nothing. But since you are by your own admission not a member of Nerve premium, thus not knowing what is depicted there, such hubris is clearly not restricted to the American mind after all.
America-bashing is the last form of socially-acceptable bigotry. When you have to drag it in to your opinions on some pictures of nekkid gurls, you need to shut your bong-hole.
No, no - you still haven't gotten to it. There's very little on Nerve I would gather is much different from Nerve Premium. I would need join to just see. It's not a fortune -but if I were avante garde I would titilate. The art of the human body is hidden away unless one pays. Hiding such and so - how American. Women are displayed willy nilly and without much thought. Men are non-existent. ART-ful sensuality. I'll come back in another several months and see. My work is not pornography. Is yours? Probably not. Who'd know? Engorged phalluses and swollen labia aren't art for such sake. Males and females bodies are becoming more political as you continue this charade. Display as you would masterpieces. Buttocks, chests, breasts, vaginal lips or males with foreskin - grace and beauty throughout and it's hidden. I see female tits and asses. WOW! How small you've become. Selling out to the simple minded. American taste wrapped in NYC fundamentalism. I thought better 4 years ago. It appears someone has blugeoned you down to some ethical and moral morass that can't abide sexuality. It's all pornography to them. Thigh or a calf - porn. Male butt cheek - aghast! Next thing you'll be showing his "unit". Raging hard ons penetrating 14 year old children. Yeah, well ah, - it's just sad you subscribe to it all. Words make nice - actions show dominion over place and time. Perhaps someday. Courage isn't beholden to all men. It comes only when fear is faced and conquered.
I'm with you SE. This is more subtle than a "rear-cleavage" view of a hot model with a shaved beav. I sent this link to a couple of friends as an example of clever erotic photography. don't get me wrong, I'm not some sort of puritan, insofar as the conventional stuff is nice, but this attracts me on an emotional level. It is how I view people who I love...
I'm not sure if this feedback section is really all that constructive...
I wish that everyone could recognize the sensitivity and presence of these photos. I spotted #14 this past summer on Nerve, and loved it. I was pleased to see more of Helena's photos in this gallery and at her site (nice edit nerve). I love subtle sensual art.
I dunno about all the negative feedback. I liked it. Quite a bit actually. It was a nice change from the (rather predictable) content of the premium galleries.

If you are so afraid of or don't like male nudity, why do
you have a male in the pics anyway.

I thought these were beautiful and sensitive photographs.
nicely done - I like the nostalgic feel.

Except for a few decent shots, I suspect your camera is broken. If my camera did this, I would send it for repair.
Nothing pretty. No story. I didn't get this one at all.
woopsee... stuff
Your free sruff always sucks!
these are oddly sweet. it makes me want to make cookies with a guy in a kiss t-shirt.
The old adage "you get what you pay for" may not always work for the premium galleries, but the converse certainly applies to this free one.
For the record to the previous poster: I don't think it is a premium gallery.
I don't know what was so "intimate" about these photos. THere was certainly nothing that warranted a "premium gallery".
