God I need an edit button. One, thank you Bruce for once more handling this so well. now, the picture in question actually is one of my favorites. very well made and very well lit. but this is the problem. it is not the TOS that is the problem it is the fact it is not being consistantly handled. if you let in one pic with touching...why not the others? touching a breast is touching. sexual or not. so why is it ok to touch a breast but not a pee pee. the pee pee in question was not erect..and actually the peepee was not being touched. it looked like is MIGHT OF COULD OF BEEN touching. but wasnt touching. but it was pulled due to that. to me that is not a gray area. touching is touching. Do I want all nudes gone? do I want erotic sexual pictures stoped...NO WAY!!!!!!! I cut my teeth on olivia and the old candyfloss comics in penthouse...I adore that type of work. I adore -doing- erotic art. I adore doing nudes. BUT there needs to be consistancy in applying the TOS. If touching a breast is ok then it should of been ok to allow malories picture in as it was NOT touching any genitals. that is why we are upset. I mean you say it is gray but it is not. I used the situation of my pic being asked to be removed{again a thanks to Dee as she handled it with respect and kindness I think I would do near anything she requested as she does it with respect} it was geting flack not for touching...not for sexual situation but because the privates looked TOO real. That to me is not a gray area. why was it geting flack? I mean seriously it didnt violate the TOS at all. if a viewer is having problems. as long as the pic is not flat out intercouse or such. then hold the viewer to some responsablity as well. most of us that do erotic or nudes not only hit the nudity flag but warn of the nudity in the title. if we are going to allow breast touching then what is wrong with male erotic art? the pic in question....there was no gential contact. It was a beautiful picture. breasts are ok but penis arent? no I can not accept that. if there IS a gray area...then why not work out a TOS that is not gray. make it clear. make it fair and make it consistant. If you ban nudes or sexual heated pics..or erotic work you wont have much of a gallery at all. so with that in mind. instaed of making it with an iron fist...make it so the artists can post pics with in reason. no not intercouse not sexual acts that are clear as day. nudity is not wrong. sexual tense situations are not wrong. erotic is not wrong. specially as you are talking about adults here. you can not use the excuse of underagers for they can go to the market place and see far far faaar worse. Make it so that the artists have abit more breathing room.
