Classical nudity in art is not morally distinct from pornography; artistic quality does not transform the moral character of nude imagery.

Mike holds that humans are fallen and looking at nude images of non-spouse adults is wrong regardless of artistic quality. He sees no morally significant difference between high-art nudity (skilled marble sculpture) and low-art nudity (a cell phone photo). He argues that art is often a socially acceptable wrapper for sinful impulses, and that a 12-year-old boy's reaction to a shirtless statue illustrates this — the carnal response is identical regardless of medium. He does not establish a list of rules but appeals to the principle that sin dressed up as art is still sin.
