How about a reference as to what verses you have in mind.

At my age, I don't feel the slightest twinge of lust looking at a tasteful artistic representation of a woman's body.

I don't recall the Bible commanding us not to admire beauty...only an admonition not to engage in lusty thinking (at a minimum).

The Metropolitan Museum and art museums around the world are filled with nudes and I don't think the folks looking at them are feeling lust (well, maybe a few...but they hide it well).

I see 87 verses with the word naked.

You can look them up at:

Nakedness is consistently associated with shame.

I see 147 verses containing the word image:

http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?version=KJV&search=image&searchtype=all&language1=en&spanbegin=1&spanend=73&startnumber=1

The images consistently referred to as being good or righteous are that of heaven, Christ, and God, or the various articles directed by God specifically for temple worship of ancient Israel, as far as I can quickly see. There could be others, I just made a quick visual sweep.

All other occurrences are consistently used in the sense of describing vanity and grave sin.

The Bible expressly commands us to not do as heathens and pagans do, i.e., to disregard what the Metropolitan Museum and the throngs of heathens tell us about what is acceptable and what is not.

Blessings on this Lord's Day.
