MALE AND FEMALE.
Sir-In this matter of Pornography on a Tropical Island, how many of your women readers, when compiling a list of books, would feel it necessary to include a collection of nude male photographs? Visiting various army camps, I have been struck by the similarity in interior decoration of most of the men’s huts, the walls being covered with pictures of under-clad or naked females of no uncertain attractions, in poses calculated to expose the more alluring portions of their anatomy. In how many bedrooms of WAACS, WAAFS or WRENS, will you find pictures of the nude male form in similar posture? Likewise, if a travelling show presented, as a special attraction, a male striptease artist, would he draw an audience of eager and enthusiastic women and girls? I have pondered on these problems, but have arrived at no conclusion, except the dubious one that perhaps women are naturally more. chasteminded than men, a conclusion with which your men readers may not agree.
