This article contains this

"Venus of Urbino inspired the later painting Olympia by Édouard Manet, in which the figure of Venus was replaced with a woman who is often falsely referred to as a prostitute." However, on the page for that painting, it explicitly says the woman IS a prostitute, with supporting arguments. 152.133.11.77 (talk) 20:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dog as Sexual Profligacy

I have the delted the section referencing the woman's "sexual profligacy" because it is a questionable/disputable interpretation which is also uncited. I also suspect that this is plagiarism. If other editors feel that this should remain, please cite the direct source of this interpretation. It is also preferable that you make it clear within the body of the text the source of claims like this. Thank you.

"often a symbol of either fidelity or sexual profligacy; that the animal is asleep hints that the woman portrayed is unfaithful." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.224.220.1 (talk) 20:22, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the supposition of m*

Please remove the guess about masturbation (offensive even to type the word). It's an anachronistic supposition. Something like that wouldn't have been depicted in this period. It is utterly offensive to a class of readers, including me. 2601:281:D480:3624:2CA8:4CED:9151:4ADE (talk) 21:23, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Khan Academy has some sources on this topic. I deleted a source that no longer exists and wasn't cited, posted in a format that didn't show in the actual article itself. Dalmationrotary (talk) 08:05, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
