these are very beautiful pictures. I find them nice to look at, but the exocitification of the women does not, for me, add any special excitement. Obviously they are being photographed as part of a public event, and one would hope that they are getting compensated for allowing the ceremony to be photographed and watched by tourists. / But it is completely ridiculous and demeaning to think that this is some kind of elaborate strip show being put on for the sake of American and European voyeurs. That they even involve little kids to make it seem more "real"? Time to break out of the voyeur bubble: There is more meaning to life than unexpected nakedness! These photographs are obviously of real traditional ceremonies, and it is very well studied and documented that they involved nudity. Note that there are plenty of nude men as well. And the "shaved" pussies? The men also don't have pubic hair! Not every people has the same abundance of body hair, and there are also traditional methods of hair removal practiced in all kinds of places. Thanks for the post.
