66 . The exposure of breasts is referred to as "topfree" rather than "topless" for two reasons. First, "topfree" is more<br />

accurate and puts the emphasis where it belongs, on the freedom of the breasts rather than the absence of clothing.<br />

Second, the term "topfree" emphasizes the distinction between the healthy nudity of comfort and convenience, and<br />

the fetishized nudity of "topless" bars.<br />

also made this distinction. He writes: "Pornography is a marked tendency to accentuate the sexual element when<br />

reproducing the human body or human love in a work of art, with the object of inducing the reader or viewer to<br />

believe that sexual values are the only real values of the person." (John Paul II 192) See also "Spirituality" 82;<br />

including improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure, strengthened muscular development, increased<br />

malignant melanoma shows no such correlation. In fact, studies have found melanoma to be considerably more<br />

common in indoor workers than outdoor workers, and more common on parts of the body with relatively low<br />

cumulative sun exposure. See "From Dermatology Research" 10.<br />
