"At some point in college, I began to realize that the stigma of sex that I was raised with was completely unfounded. In fact, as I sat back and really observed people and listened to their dialogues, it was clear that the stigma was blatantly unhealthy. Here were these adults, taught their entire lives that a biological drive was wrong outside of a social construct we devised somewhere in history. They believed it so deeply, however, that even within the bonds of marriage they were marred, unable, still, to even speak of their desires. How did this happen? How did we kill such an important part of our being? To some, I took back my sexuality with a bit more fervor than I should have. To others, I wasnʼt acting it out nearly enough. But weʼre all individuals with our own definitions of what it means to be human, beautiful, sexual, erotic. The moment I chose to be a sexual being without remorse was the moment I never let anyone again tell me I wasnʼt beautiful. I am sexy from the inside out.

I saw Demetriusʼ images and to this day canʼt imagine how anyone could see anything other than these women as themselves, in their skin, challenging the world to tell them that they are unfit to be nude. Similar women to myself, willing to laugh, to cry, to scream; willing to be who they are at all costs, because life isnʼt life if you live it for someone else.

Demetrius is often asked how he talks us into doing it. There is no coercion, no games; just an artist seeking out other artists that agree that the social construct of sex could use some tweaking. Not just for the equality of women, but for the healthy mentality of men. I think sometimes we forget that if there is an abused there had to be an abuser. So here we are, our images engulfing the pages of a book, hoping that someone out there will see our work and be changed by it. No, not everyone will see what I see in these photos. But anyone that ever sought to change the world will tell you that you have to take victories where you can.

And maybe have a little bit of fun along the way."
