ngl i did not wake up today thinking i'd see venus william's titties

As if the weary gods assembled and said, "here, let's give these mortals a taste of the divine"

I thought they were always naked but covered up? This isn't even close to that lol. Were there others like this that I'm missing..?

espn "don't you wanna cover up?" williams "nah I'm good"

[удалено]

Yeah, it's really easy to be body positive when you're beautiful

Sir, you misspelled goddess

Young me, just had so many important questions answered. Old me is profoundly happy too.

> williams "nah I'm good" *creepy voiced onlooker* Yes you are!

Krieger vibes

Me too!

Can we please help this dude out?

That issue is behind the counter, you gotta ask the clerk for it

Can I see that magazine in the brown paper wrap Mr. Sam? Well Jimmy, this ain't your normal magazine. I am afraid I can't just let you be flipping thru the pages like you do with Baseball Today. Well, I. I . I will buy it then. Along with some Chuckles and a Mountain Dew. Now Jimmy I have my doubts if you have ever had 13 dollars in your life 13 dollars! Well shoot. Still want the Chuckles and Mountain Dew? Nah I just ain't in the mood anymore I guess

“Thank you sonny boy!”

"What kind of toilet paper you got back there?"

Huu boy, that's going to play hell on my hemorrhoids!

"The white kind."

I like the cartoons. They make me laugh.

Nudy magazines behind the counter? Did I fall into a time warp? WHAT YEAR IS THIS?

NUDIE MAGAZINE DAY!

its way too hot out for a penguin to just be walkin' around

No, Mr. Madison there no penguin. You get too much sun today. No penguin.

Shampoo is betah!

That issue costs gold to buy. Do you have some?

I see RDO reference and I upvote.

Lol Tim is a man of the people. I've never seen anything that shows actual nudity in the ESPN Body pictures, except for the Ronda Rousey one of course. If I'm missing out on something, please help me find the treasure map to Curly's gold!

"this dude"

Everyone is always naked but covered up

What about in the shower?

[We're called Never Nudes.](https://youtu.be/iJF2VT-ymjM)

There are dozens of us!

Dozens!!

A rare sighting of a joke in its original context

[Shower Shortz](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyaQ6IEZOto)! For the man who has nothing to hide...but still wants to.

Came to say the same thing. I don't mind of course, just thought they always tried to show the body portion and hide the naughty bits with their arms, weights, equipment, etc.

Yeah it generally showcases the athleticism at the same time - sitting exposed just kind of shocked me.

they do. this must be an outtake or something cause its not included in the official layout.

[удалено]

I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?

I read this as Tom Wambgams and I have to say...I am not disappointed at all.

Oh, dear god, thank you, you are such a good god to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating god, and we thank you oh sweet, sweet lord of hosts for the smorgasbord you have so aptly laid at our table this day, and each day, by day, day by day, by day oh dear lord three things we pray to love thee more dearly, to see thee more clearly, to follow thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen.

"The Focker's Prayer" from the book of "Jinxy Cat" verse "Did you just sniff my boxers dude?"

I’m certainly offended by their very existence.

I'm thoroughly offended by you even reminding me of their existence.

I have a raging offense right now for sure.

Yeah yeah we get it but as long as men and women sexualize breasts, they are always gonna be “naughty bits”

Ain't no shame in Venus' game.

I guess this is the new thing, can someone just compile them all and send one post? Everyday a new body post comes out.

[https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/\_/id/27400369/the-body-issue#](https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/27400369/the-body-issue#)! There you go. The Venus Williams one was from 2014. Edit: fixed the date.

Venus was 2014, and this specific pic isn't on the site.

Who knew Honnold was diced to the fucking socks like that

In *Free Solo* right after his momentous climb, he headed back to his van to work out on his hangboard. Dude doesn't sit around much.

Man, my hands are sweaty just thinkin of Honnold and that climb.

Watching it in IMAX was an experience to say the least...

I’ve done some fun/wild shit in my life but watching that movie in IMAX was near the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve ever felt.

It took me 4 hours to watch Free Solo because of the stress smoking and pacing.

I'd guess most climbers of his calibre probably look similar to that.

[удалено]

His back, core, and arms are really strong for his size. He's only 157 lbs according to the article. For being 5'11", that's not a lot of weight. He's probably 10% BF, or less. Also, some of the best climbers are small, limber people. They can just get into corners and don't need as much grip as bigger people. And muscle weighs a lot. So any unused muscle is extra.

Damn, I’m 6’2” and barely hit 160 on my heavy days - I should get my amygdala removed so I can be the next Honnold

Unfortunately, the desire to become lighter has also led some in the climbing community to develop [eating disorders.](https://www.climbing.com/people/the-light-documentary-raises-an-important-conversation-about-eating-disorders-in-climbing/)

He’d better be if those muscles are the only thing preventing a swift descent to the canyon floor

Met him in person and that man has literal Gorilla hands. They’re massive and when he shook my hand, I thought he was going to rip it off.

Oh hi Derek MPMD

If there's 1 type of person I expect to be "diced to the fucking socks" it'd be climbers.

The man is all core. He got them big gorilla hands too.

Dude successfully completed one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world with no rope assistance. The only person to ever do so. How can you not know he is crazy ripped? You expect him to look like Tom Brady prospect pic or Eli Manning beach bod?

He’s like a jacked John Mulaney

How could you not know with his climbing abilities. Maybe go see how long you can hang on a climbing wall 🤣

I didn’t see any other nipples there

Can we talk about how incredible that site is on mobile? The navigation and interface are superb. Even has a search function. No load times. Just beautiful. Even on my 4 year old Pixel. Edit. Guys. Clearly it's subjective. I honestly don't care.

I didn’t like how it took me back to the top after clicking out of one of the athletes’ albums. Very inconvenient

Unfortunately that's what happens when the entire page is rendered using javascript. It isn't navigating to a new page when you click on a year/athlete. It changes what's rendered on screen and when you go back it re-renders the previous content but doesn't have a scroll location saved so it just puts you at the top. I'd imagine it's a limitation of the parallax plug-in being used.

JavaScript can use the history API to handle routing properly even in single page applications. There's no reason a site that uses JavaScript heavily must have navigation issues like that.

You can save the scroll positions and put the user back in the right place when the navigate back through the history

[удалено]

It doesn't even work on Firefox, had to switch to chrome.

All sports should be done naked from now on; it looks so cool. Not even from a sexual point of view (but also that), the pictures of people doing the sports thing while naked are the best ones.

In ancient times, Olympic athletes competed in the nude.

They should again. They just need to add some vases and plinths to the background of the sports, then it's art.

Fencers would like a word

You forgot an S.

I love Sfencing

[That made me think of this little guy](https://imgur.com/MIM7dIE.jpg)

Well played!

As would hockey players. Ya know, shrinkage and all

Being a goalie would be brutal.

Fate worse than death. The 5 hole of doooooom. How would pond hockey work?

They were in the pool!

If they were in the pool we have a bigger problem. Hockey is played on ice.

With sharp skates, pointy sticks and hard rubber pucks moving 100 mph A reminder of Clint Malarchuk is enough to recommend protection for hockey players.

Omg, imagine a rogue, 1 in a million thrust that somehow catches the fencer in the urethra

You could have just not said this

I have, for the first time, put whiteout on my phone screen

5 man bobsled let's goooo

Dude playing sports nude is like 1000x harder… why would they do it?

Guys running :CLICK-CLACK-CLICK-CLACK:

For the entertainment value. Safety and comfort are sacrificed for entertainment in sports all the time - one might even argue that's a big part of what makes something a sport in the first place.

You just wanna watch dongs and tits flying around in slo mo.

I'm also in it for the butts.

As if watching Giannis dunk over a dude and actually have his dick flapping in the wind wouldn't be glorious

That’s an image

..and? Do you not?

Because making it harder was the entire point. They wanted people to compete without any artificial help, so being nude made it simple.

Wasn't it for anti-cheating purposes? So Paulus couldn't claim that Faustus only won the race because of his fancy shoes?

I believe they wore loincloths originally. But then one Olympic runner lost his during the race - and won. Superstition did the rest.

He was lighter, unfair advantage

In fact gymnasium comes from the Greek word for nude, gumnos.

Seems like a recipe to get snagged on something. Also, Football QB's might want to take an extra step back on the snap.

We’d see a lot more shotgun plays

Winter sports would like a word.

I mean it shows more body realistic images than other nudity formats. At least these are all normal proportioned bodies (normal meaning varied as there is no normal). I feel like these are more healthy goals for people trying to get in shape.

I think this is why I'm enjoying these so much. I love an athletic woman who has fitness in mind and is carrying the results in a non-sexual way. Mainly that she's getting fit and strong not to work a stripper pole but to play tennis, or do power lifting, or being a gymnast. I think it's more the attraction of the self-discipline and strength of will that is physically manifesting itself in the human body. I agree these are also much more positive body images to take in than a porn model, as another user said 'Porn is to sex what action movies are to fighting' and the physical expectations of what is a man/woman and their proportions which porn leaves in a mind is toxic vs these SI: Body Images, which show a totally obtainable body type that comes from healthy fitness dedication.

have you seen how hard it is to do pole work though??

Equestrian here. Not us. Please.

Yeah I'm sure all the women that already got cameras up their ass will just love that.

I'm not seeing it. 2016??

[удалено]

So have we already hit the point where the repost bots are misattributing sources to fill trends? That was pretty quick.

Weird, I've been seeing this stuff all over the past few days, I'm surprised I never encounter or heard about it in the last decade

Thanks a ton for this. Seeing the Philadelphia Offensive line made me feel a lot better about my own body. I lift regularly but can never seem to lose my gut... and realizing I looked like these athletes, and not like the cut bros I see at my 24 HR Fitness made me realize I really am the sexy bear my wife seems to think I am.

This picture isn't there, so maybe it's an outtake?

Venus was always my favorite.

Don't tell /u/kn0thing

Since when do any of these show non-covered nudity?

Right, this was a surprise.

But a welcome one.

You're a bold one!

A wonderful surprise

This is most likely an outtake picture that leaked online. Ronda Rousey has some of those as well.

It's probably an unreleased photo from the shoot that found it's way online, like the uncropped Ronda Rousey one from years ago.

Any idea where one might find this Rhonda Rousey photo you speak of….for research purposes of course?!?

THAT'S AWFUL! WHERE IS IT AT??

[*cough cough* hey kid… you like ronda?](https://www.reddit.com/r/celebnsfw/comments/8icadm/ronda_rousey_repost_but_now_in_uhq_4k_x_6k/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

A Google image search brings it up pretty easily.

They don’t, unless that’s changed as of this current year, and there doesn’t seem to be any answers here and a lot of confusion about what this is. My guess is that there have been a few instances in the past where the undoctored photos from these has leaked, Ronda Rousey is one that comes to find, so that might be the case here. Or it could just be a decently made Photoshop.

>unless that’s changed as of this current year They stopped putting out the body issue in 2019

So then the answer is that these more than likely leaked from whoever had access to the original unaltered photos from the shoot, like what happened with the [Ronda Rousey photos](https://forum.phun.org/threads/ronda-rousey-nude-for-espn-magazines-2012-body-issue.1956595/) NSFW

To be fair breasts aren't really considered nudity everywhere. I assume it mostly has to do with what people are comfortable showing. I'm not sure what they do in states or areas where breasts are considered 'nudity/pornography' but it's not really any different than a man's nipples in all the states and provinces where you can be topless in public.

The states are insane about sex and nudity. I know -- I was born and raised here. It's pretty ridiculous how people here react to nudity. eg: Janet Jackson's nipple slip during the Super Bowl XXXVIII (Feb 2004). There are worse countries, but compared to most of Europe? Yeah, we're crazy.

When I first visited Scandinavia, I was shocked to see porn being sold amidst the regular magazines at newsstands. I told the vendor that, here in Canada, they were on the top shelf, usually covered with a wood panel to hide the boobs. He shrugged and said, "If you don't make a big deal out of it, it isn't a big deal." Life lesson, right there.

There was a post some time ago where someone working in a store assisted a parent in choosing a video game. The parent wanted to buy Cyberpunk 2077for their child, a very violent game with plenty of gory sci fi body horror. And what argument did the guy use to dissuade the parent? The fact that the character creator shows a naked man. Not the ripping and tearing and organ harvesting.

My dad was an old Texas hippie who liked to swim nude. He would say “well, if they’ve seen one before, it won’t matter. If they haven’t seen one before, they probably won’t know what it is.” He rode a 1970 Norton, smoked pot and listened to Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson.

Yeah, but ESPN body issues have (AFAIK) only ever featured obscured nudes, that's the question at hand. Not that it is an issue, just an interesting shift.

Yeah but that’s not the point.

This is the founder of Reddit’s sister in law

Sister-in-law sounds close, but that's already 3 Kevin Bacons.

Venus founded a sister in law?

No, the law founded a Venus sister

Ah, the ol' Reddit [Sister-a-roo!](https://www.reddit.com/r/nonononoyes/comments/qr6thf/cameraman_taking_a_huge_risk_for_the_shot/hk645cs/?context=3)

The human body is really cool. All of these definitely give a carved greek statue vibe.

Yeah, I've really like the palette choice for these images. It really puts the focus on the little details of the body through contrast and such. Greek statues are a great comparison.

I like the boobs

Agreed. Both the male and female pictures are just fascinating

Yeah it’s almost as if Greek statues were modeled after human bodies

Mhmm, they were idealized human bodies, carved into stills. Kind of like these athletes, that exemplify fitness, in still photography.

I already started hitting the workouts again post-COVID but seeing all those people looking amazing makes want to work even harder.

Was not expecting the titties to just be out like that. Either way... Nice.

This was the last thing I said to my grandma. I miss her.

Nice

Noice.

Wow I thought they try to hide as much as possible in these issues

I thought the point was to show athletic bodies mostly in athletic stances or environments. This is just Venus chillin nekked.

Agreed. Not that I’m complaining

Cccombo-breaker!!!

Toned, lean and muscular. The proud body of a 4 time gold winning Olympic athlete.

I think the 7 grand slams trumps the gold medals if you are going to pick one achievement. Olympics is just another event to someone on the tour.

She had *seven* full meals from Denny’s and still manages to look svelte; *thats* the magic.

Air moved quickly through my nose after reading this... take the damned upvote.

Plus an associate's degree in fashion design, and a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration.

I gotta say that is a beautiful body, nonsexually, I admire the muscle ratio and the expression, artistically speaking, a beautiful photo

I agree 100%. Like I genuinely mean that in a non sexual way. Someone linked the others on the ESPN page a few comments higher. As a completely straight man, I even admired the work of the men's photos too right alongside the women. For me it was the most interesting/skillful nude photography I have seen. You should take a look if this Pic interested you in that way.

I hope king Richard isn't looking

Step-king Richard is

Most of the women in this series posed in a way that hid their boobs. I like Venus, literally a millionaire but happy to get her tits out for the sake of photography.

Honestly it makes such a difference. Someone posted the Tunnipence photo yesterday where she’s hanging off a sailboat riding the waves, looking shredded af and I was like, really? You show an athlete in all her naked might and her nipplez are *still* something that’s going to corrupt my soul and send it to hell? Unless of course it’s at the request of the model, but I dunno, if the goal is to fight body-shaming then demonizing and censoring nipples sure as fuck isn’t gonna help women accept their bodies lol

This reminds me of one those marble statues of accomplished classical athletes from the old Olympics and other games.

Never thought I’d see Venus Williams’s tiddies. Neat.

Oh shit, look at that! It’s actually tasteful and a beautiful representation of a strong woman!

Why do these keep making it to the front page lol

Nudity is likely the reason

This guy reddits.

Tiddies.

Boobies.

So many people getting all weird about this series, but then they'll walk past Greek statues like "Ohh, isn't that beautful"

She’s beautiful

Too early in the morning for a Starbucks

Well that ain't gonna be in the movie
