The human form can be beautiful, but I think its more along the lines of a moral issue than it is a piece of art.

how is nude art immoral? We were born naked, for heaven's sake! lol!

It's quite normal to enjoy nude art. Many of the greatest artists in history idolized the human form as the greatest of all creations by God. And like yourself they focused a lot on the strength and expressions of the nude human form.
Some great examples of such artists was Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci

Liking nude is pretty ok, but TOO much is immoral.

I like how people bring up morality. Hahaha. I don't see how anyone would look at a piece of nude art in a sexual way or something...how silly. I'd like them to look at some of egon schiele's work. I'm sure they would be disgusted haha.

Anyways, of course it's fine. Basically all of the greatest figurative artists made nude art. I'm an artist and prefer drawing nude art
Mainly because I get a stronger sense from it, and with the clothes figure I feel like I am hiding them behind something, that they aren't being fully exposed metaphorically.

I think that this is perfectly normal. Art is something that catches the eye of the viewer and illustrates something that some may never notice or appreciate. The female form, for example is filled with curves and soft bends and all sorts of beautiful things that people don't normally have the opportunity to view and appreciate. Same goes for the male body, except instead of curves, there are more ridges and sharper edges. Same concept though.

As for the erotic aspect of it, I don't think that there's a rule that says that you can't lust over erotic or nude art. I think that in lusting over it, you're showing appreciation to the appealing aspects of the art. Obviously there is nude art there that is not meant for this, but there definitely is some nude art out there where lusting over it is approptiate. Its all just a matter of how you show appreciation to the art.

I guess part of enjoying art is even also in second guessing yourself. It forces you to reflect on what you are enjoying, dislike or thinking about. Each person is different & it says more about oneself than the art.

One poster even sees a moral issue.

Normal.
