These Kenya Medical Training College girls love to fuck and send nude photos when they are not at work.
Another overlooked reason that served as a source of motivation for the hoard of volunteers from Europe during the colonial period is the promise of “promiscuous” and “easy” native women. Postcards sent to Europe during this period mostly featured (prominently) nude or semi-nude African women and girls in alluring and inviting postures. These postcards dwelt on the European male fantasy that unlike their prim and proper wives in Europe, African women were sexually promiscuous to attract volunteers to Africa.
The portrayal of the “primitive” sexuality and “promiscuity” of the African woman was a buttress to a harmful stereotype. Even images that did not have the women nude or semi-nude had captions on them that conveyed the exoticism and availability of women for the pleasure of the European male.
Teaching practices nurtured this focus on male heterosexual desire. Female students from numerous medical schools remembered professors using dirty jokes and photographs of naked women in lectures to hold the attention of male students, which implied that a women’s place in the lecture theater was not to learn but to be leered at by men. This practice extended beyond individual classrooms. In 1971, Williams and Wilkins published

"I think the nudity initially came from a place of being a terrible stylist. Whatever [clothes] I made people wear, my pictures looked cluttered and tacky, but as soon as I photographed a nude subject, something clicked. The more elements I removed from the image, the more I became aware of my own gaze — and I loved the challenge of depicting bodies how I view them, which is pragmatic, to say the least. I can find bodies aesthetically pleasing, but I have never been able to get behind how controversial and sexually charged they can be. The more people become riled up about bodies, the more we should take a good look at them, and I don’t think there are many places where we are privy to fully experience the nude body except for in porn, changing rooms, and medical settings — none of these particularly nonjudgmental. Art in a museum is one of the few exceptions to this, as the context permits the viewer to truly look at bodies without the society-dictated notions of attractiveness.
