Well, call me whatever names you want, but I am wondering why there suddenly seem to be so many "sex" pictures--bras, condoms, suggestive composition, position and dress of models, etc. These aren't artistic nudes, simply pictures with sex as the theme. I don't know if it is a a few people stuck on the idea, or just a general trend, but these kinds of shots have lost their appeal to me. Can some really not think of holiday items sold in a catalog besides sex toys? Am I the only person who feels this way?
(I did give a 10 to Insemination, but I am getting tired of seeing bras and condems) |

Bras and condoms are sorta boring....
Sex is not!!!! It does sell....one stop at any magazine rack will confirm this.
Actually, I am surprised we don't see more nudity here..a pretty tame photo crowd by most standards :-/ |

I totally agree with you. Nudes and the like are the most viewed photos on this site, and I think that quite a few enter them for that reason alone. Also, of course, it does appeal to either gender or, depending on subject matter.
I also have a problem with them, along with other social views constantly seen and entered, but it won't stop anything and will most likely result in a thread with heated debate. Trust me. I have been down this road before with similar views on ciggs and alchohol. LOL....

Not sure I said that...You can certainly think and do whatever. You can decorate your house with condom wrapper wallpaper and I wouldn't care. |

My goal is this year is to have a full body shot of me similar to nico :-D (minus the full frontal <:-O)
Back in the college days when I played lacrosse for Va Tech I could have passed for a fair subject..23 years ago! I can't get any of my current male friends that are buffer than I am right now to pose (they say if feels a little less than manly to pose for a guy)... and my wife is keeping my female posing friends to a minimum.. So off to the gym for me to get in shape by spring!!!! I ain't shy!!!! |

Of course it sells, why do you think it's known as the worlds oldest professional.
We are designed to desire sex otherwise we would have died out a long time ago.
Some people choose to appeal to that basic human desire because it surely involves a response - either I want it or I don't want it, but either way the reaction is usually fairly strong.
One of sex's biggest competitors is controversy and often times the two run hand in hand.

Don't wax ... it's a ploy to watch you be tortured ... hot wax and body hair are NOT a good combination, trust me .... lol

Oh..you bet it is! They are all excited (pun intended) about the possible torture involved. I have even had 2 friends of mine who are hair stylists volunteer to do this...FOR FREE..just because I acted like it was no big deal.
You would think everyone would be happy about the healthier me..oh no..it's the torture baby!! |

No wax near Mr. Happy..that is the rule.

i had to full body shave for swimming in high school for sectionals and states, my high school was one of the top public high school in NY state for swimming. The first few days werent too bad, apart from my legs and arms looking a bit wierd, then by the end of week one when the hair started coming in it was real torture. I felt like i was wearing a porcupine! I did not shave the hair below the level of the skin so did not get any/that many ingrowns but in a few places i shaved against the grain, and that sucked a lot. Thankfully all the hair was back to normal in about a month.

I say bullhonkey! That smooth stuff is for the birds.....well...as long as it isn't a really hairy back...that's yucky. Hairy, arms, legs and chest are fine...now if you're going for the 'full monty'....I would suggest...maybe trimming (not shaving!) the surrounding area of Mr. Happy :) |

This is another thing about women.
When it comes to matters of personal grooming..women are down to the finest of details.
For guys....we are all about the smell...lifting arms..smelling clothes....whatever..if it passes...we don't worry about it.
If another guy even hints that he cares about anything more....he is ostracized from the tribe...never to be allowed at the poker table again!! |
