Naked charity calendar - AIBU

I recently purchased a naked charity calendar from a local sports club as a lighthearted way of helping a good cause and a little bit of fun. However I have told my partner and he has completely overreacted and wants me to get rid of it comparing it to pornography.
what’s more is my son overheard us arguing about the calendar and he’s not happy either and wants it binned.

AIBU

You really think women are getting sexual titillation 'leering' at pictures like the one posted above? I mean..really?

Why else would OP put it up in her bedroom? Hardly innocent.

Innocent? Innocent of what ffs? Do you lot listen to yourselves? Consenting adults are free to do much more than appreciate the form and appearance of one another's bodies, but in your book even that is a sin worthy of guilt!

Guilt is a wicked, nasty, soul-destroying emotion which has been used to control populations throughout history.

I pity you 😡

Yes let’s all lick whipped cream off strippers bodies and celebrate as we take off their g strings as they’re consenting adults….

This thread is hilarious! So much angst over a local sports club.

Most of us can look at a nude or partially clothed human body in art, on the beach, in a joke calendar without our thoughts jumping to licking whipped cream off them. There is nothing sexual about a bunch of men standing there looking a bit daft on a fire escape. You'd need a very strong preoccupation with sex to see it in those images I think. However, we're all different and if people can't look at a picture like that without thinking of strippers g strings they're probably better off avoiding such things.

Hmmmm - the guy in the middle is quite attractive though!

As are any number of males in art and sculpture.

Admiring the male and female form is fine.

I'm presuming all the posters who don't like the calendars are also against topless sunbathing on beaches and in parks.

To specify it’s a rugby club, they’re naked in their pictures so you can see everything but their manhood is always hidden by Rugby balls. It’s naked but not full frontal

Seriously tacky and not something I would want in my house.
I would also not want a similar calendar of naked women either
