Have you ever googled: nude? Just that word. I had never googled just "nude." What do you think comes up? I would not have thought just porn would come up. That's all that came up. I was so surprised I cleared my "history," all "search data" "since the beginning of time" just in case!, shut down the computer and restarted it. Same thing, all porn. Did the same on my phone. Same thing.

Usually, I can never remember this not happening before, the first page entry is a definition, no matter how common the word, or a Wikipedia entry. Not with "nude." The top-of-the-page first entry is "Best Celebrity Nudes," the Wikipedia page (for "nudity") is fourth. The first Google image is a spread-leg shot. I thought you had to google "porn" to get that! And as far down on the image page as you go it's all women. Not a single guy.

All porn photographs, too. I couldn't believe it, I mean, there are tons of nude paintings, there's nude art, cartoons, drawings. None of that comes up. Nude is a color too, right? Or a shade, like nail polish or lipstick or dress color or something. Don't google "nude" if you're looking for any of that!

And guys get nude too! Not a single picture of a nude guy....I take that back, like, the 500th picture is a guy standing nude. The first eight photos are open leg, the eleventh is a dildo insertion and the fourteenth is anal sex (I had to enlarge it to tell. (I had to.))

I was shocked, I am NOT complaining but my surprise went beyond surprise to shock.

So then I googled "naked." There's a difference, right? "Nude" is sexual, "naked" is unclothed? The search results are different: pink shots don't lead off, the first three and four of the first five are of the same woman, standing naked but these are clearly sexual...OMG, I think it's that Kim Kardashian woman!...NOW I'm complaining, Oh God, I'm done.
