Many paintings and statues are of nudes - people with no clothes on.
So why did they start covering their naughty bits with fig leaves, which is a really BAD idea?
("Naughty bits" - I will leave you to your imagination as to what they are. There are also hundreds of words to describe them, from biological terms to very weird slang expressions!)

The Social Evolutionary

Why do naked people in art wear fig leaves? It's scary!

Passion in Language Learning

What is the difference between ”これ、おいしいね” and ”これ、おいしいよ” ?

「これ、おいしいね」
「これ、おいしいよ」

この二つの文は、何がちがうでしょうか。

そう、さいごの「ね」と「よ」がちがいますね。

意味は同じでしょうか。　いいえ、ちがいます。

「これ、おいしいね」と言うと、
「うん、そうだね。」とか
「うーん、私はちょっと…。」といった答えが、
いっしょに食べている人から返ってくると思います。
つまり、「おいしいね」と言った人は、「あなたも　そう思うでしょう？」と言いたいときに使います。

「これ、おいしいよ」と言えば、
「へえ、そうですか。」とか
「じゃあ、たべてみようかな。」
といった答えが返ってくると思います。
つまり、相手の人はまだ食べていないので、おいしいかどうかを知らないんですね。　
相手の知らない新しい情報を伝えたいときに「よ」を使います。

まとめると、
「～ね」は、話し手も相手も知っていたりわかっている場合、
「～よ」は話し手は知っているけど、相手は知らないことを知らせるときに使います。　

「ね」…talking about something which you and your partner knows.
               Speakers want agreement from partner.
「よ」…Talking about something which speaker knows but listener doesn’t know.
               Speakers want to let listeners know new things.
