This is not the missionary postion.

Not that his back is coming into the the image at a perfect diagonat. To the left of his back you can see the divert of her right hip bone into her stomach. Their genitals are not touching.
This is not a picture of sexual intercourse(unless he has some sort of alien corner turning member!). This is (maybe) nude cassessing and kissing. He seems to be nuzzling her neck. Its foreplay. She could well be wearing a bra, and both of them underpants from the information given in the composition. This is an image of a passionate embrace.

*sorry as to not ansering the OP 1's question - just replying to "what xactly is romantic about the missionary postion"*

Angela,

Try something like that in 7 sins. It would fit better. I didn't find your picture offensive, just didn't think it was romantic

Now I am going to go away and blush for a while. whew! ;)


Thank you for a thoughtful answer. I would call those things "intimacy" rather than "romance," but as I said "romance" is poorly defined and therefore open to interpretation. I would say romance has more to do with the hope than the actualization. That's why it often involves symbols, such as roses. While roses are a symbol of passion, someone else might give a book as a romantic gift. This is a symbol of intimacy, at least on the intellectual level.

Yes, you're right. I noticed the hip swivel when I went back to the picture. But it is still rather intimate. And if he's wearing underpants, then they're riding awfully low! hahahaha

Hooray! Someone noticed. I enjoyed your comments and agree with them.

This image is much more romantic than the one referred to in the OP and I scored it considerably higher (as did most others it appears by the end results).

This is a photo of the series I did for the Romance challenge. It is not the one I entered, the lighting and set-up is a little different, but this one shows that both my models were wearing jeans and that the girl is wearing a bra.



Everyone has a different idea of romance. For example, I for one would definitely not spend a romantic weekend with my wife "only" holding hands. That is romantic for sure, but romance for me encompasses the whole spectrum of what two people in love do to show each other that they love each other. And some people find being tied up romantic as well. It is not everyone's cup of tea, but for them it is their idea of romance.

I didn't vote on that challenge but if I had I probably would have given it a 7. I don't cre for the lighting, the pose looed too painfull to say raomance. I have no qualms about rope and chains bieng romatic. Just the pose. Normaly this would have received a 5. But it was outside of the box +1, and best of all contraversal and made the veiwer think +1 again. for a decent 7.

looking at the "Restrained Romance" photo...a naked woman chained and tied in the corner of a cinder block room...my first impression was that it looked like a scene from an underground torture/snuff film. perhaps if the woman were on a bed with fur-lined handcuffs and tied with scarves....well, no, it still wouldn't look like romance as much as sexual gratification, (not that there's anything wrong with that!) but it would come a lot closer to romance than the original photo.

i'm definitely part of the "go diversity, it's your birthday!" group, i just think it went too far past the scope of the topic of romance for the average person's taste.

that said...Vive la Différence!

Well I wish you would have voted...it might have helped me a little...I am glad you give points for creativity! Not many do!
