Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

While overall similar, there are differences in the shape of the face, the background and other details.

Another version of the above exists, attributed to Salaj:

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

Evidently there was a market for erotic paintings. The American art historian David Brown, curator of Italian Renaissance paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, has suggested that da Vinci painted a saucy parody of the Mona Lisa for his patron Giuliano de Medici, and that the Salai version is a copy.

Obviously, the original Mona Lisa also inspired some cheeky versions of her.

La Joconde nue:

How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

For the one below, art experts suggest that it contains touches indicating that Leonardo contributed to it.

There is only one Mona Lisa, at the Louvre, fully credited to Leonardo. However, there are several Mona Lisa look-alikes from his studio, some of them quite saucy. The one most similar to the Louvre one is the Prado Mona Lisa, a copy made simultaneously in Leonardo's workshop while he painted the Mona Lisa, probably made by an apprentice(s):

Then there are the ‘meza nuda’ paintings from his workshop, often referred to as Monna Vannas.

What could be the result if I block a covert narc back after he said blocks were going back up, maybe we try this again?

Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?
