This is a challenge for some people, but the issue is important.  For many with strong religious convictions and other socialization experiences full nudity can be a serious distraction.  To Domenica I offer this as a way to pursue your interest in art without being hindered by the genitalia:

1) https://www.gotquestions.org/nudity-in-art.html – This article speaks about the attitude the christians might consider adopting when pursuing artistic excellence

2) https://www.thewayofbeauty.org/blog/2018/4/is-nudity-appropriate-in-christian-art – Specifically discusses nudity as the means of communicating a message in art

3) https://renewthearts.org/does-artistic-purity-ever-demand-vulgarity/– An article that discusses art and vulgarity

I am a Christian and now I am a Minister with a BFA, and I had the same concern while I was trying to get a grip on rendering proportions and anatomy better during classes.  I needed an answer to achieve academic goals so I searched and found these.  I hope it helps.  Don’t be discouraged.  God made the human body perfectly, man made “pornagraphy”, it is our responsibility as artist to keep perspective and take responsibility for how we view “everything” in front of us what we produce as a result of that.
