Not quite the line we take here. I've posted a few times debunking this "myth" or at least showing how people go astray in their pursuit of "do what you love."

For instance...

You don't want to do a mag. Good... a mag is not what you love, is it? Nor is taking photos, right? Nor is designing websites, correct?

And while those thing might contain images of this thing you love... they intrinsically are not what you love.

Which leads to the question... what actually do you love?

You say "beautiful women" but that is not specific enough.

What about them do you love? Do you just love the fact they exist? Do you like looking at them? If so, where (under what circumstances - in the mall, walking down the street, etc.), in or out of clothes, natural or professional, blond, brunette, red hair, etc., etc. Real life. Film. Do you like talking to them?

Get it?

What aspect of the entire "beautiful women" arena do you like (love)?

Want to be truly honest? Stop apologising for things you aren't sorry about. If you were truly sorry or even doubtful of your post you would not have posted it, would you?

It would also be good to cease trying to justifying your post by trying to lump all men into a single mold. All men are not alike. Some are downright pathetic scumbags who should be locked up for the vile sexual things they do. Others have higher morals and don't let sex run their entire life - they view sex as a natural bodily function with which it is to be shared with someone special.

YOU might be a perv (or whatever you label yourself as), but not every guy under forty is like you. Got it?
