Please note that nowhere did we say that these challenge entries were "racy," "sexually explicit," "lewd," or anything like that. If we were, we would not allow the photographers to re-post these entries within their portfolio space.

ALL WE ARE SAYING is that these entries "show male or female genitalia or any acts of sex."

The rule does not imply or in fact even allow us to make any value judgment as to the raciness or lewdness of the photograph. It only calls for us to determine whether the photograph shows genitalia and/or depicts an act of sex. In this case, a majority of Site Council felt that this entry did depict an act of sex.

I can't speak for the entire Site Council regardng grigrigirl's entry, but in casting my own vote on that entry, I felt it was pretty clear that the model's hand was not where it was implied to be by the photograph. On fotomann and shutterpug's entries, I felt they were.

I do not consider my votes inconsistent; they are different votes made on different photographs. Two violate the rule, one does not.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, I agree with the rule on not showing male or female genitalia or any acts of sex. I'll even concede that fotomann and shutterpug's entries, in the spirit of the challenge, imply acts of sex; however, neither entry shows an act of sex IMHO. I realize that we'll probably have to agree to disagree on this point. My last 2 cents.

Well, in the context of the Sins challenge, it was certainly my intent to imply that the act was taking place. As, I've stated before, I fully support SC's decision to DQ the images for sex acts violations.

We pushed the edge, knowing we were risking DQ. All in all, we have no reason to whine about the DQ.

I, as one of the photographers DQ'd, do not see an inconsistency with the other photos that were not DQ'd.

grigrigirl's "Who Needs a Man", according to Langdon was the only image that has been presented in either thread that had a DQ request. In defense of her image, it was more "tastefully" done than our two images and I can see why SC (at that time) chose not to DQ it.

To end, I have no resentment in this DQ. The waters have been tested and lessons have been learned.

Yes, but have you been to confession yet?

Have just finished reading each and every post here.

Just have to say, while I don't agree with decision, Leroy and Linda have chosen to abide by it, so I will.

But! :D.... I'm sorry, I just don't see the hoopla. From my point of view, for the challenge that they were entered into, they fit perfectly. But then again, I've never seen masterbation or sex as sinful ;)

I also am not able to figure out just how masterbation is considered a 'sex act'. Yes, I know what the definition is... I just don't agree with it!

Leroy & Linda... LOVED the photos! :D
