Rickymaveety, "Would a photo of a Japanese penis festival be in violation? I honestly don't know. I'm not certain that a disembodied penis, even if it is 10 feet high, is a depiction of a man in a state of sexual arousal. I rather think the TOS envision a penis actually attached to the man." Did you look at the picture in question? Was that a man that the penis was attached to? No it was a statue, not flesh and blood. So one can only assume that a statue of a ten foot long penis would be found equally as offensive as I am sure being ten foot in length it is not flacid. Regardless of what the statue stands for, I myself found Gerhard's post very humorous. If the image offends you, then don't look at it, for you are most certainly a part of the minority with your views. The way I see it, it is OK if the nude is female (and yes I saw one recently that had her "bush" in it AND erect nipples). But this "nude" statue was male, so it simply had to go? I am betting that the female pin up photos don't get removed even if the subject is aroused and her "bush" is in the picture. "Some people's idea of freedom of expression is posting photos of child-rape. Should that be posted here? I think the answer is obviously not. So, there are limitations on freedom of expression ...." There is a difference between what is art and what is criminal. Any picture depicting a criminal act should not be allowed to be posted anywhere, I think we are all in agreement on that. As a woman, I can say that yes my nipples get erect when I am aroused, and yes sometimes when they are cold. Point is the subject appears to be aroused, as does the statue in question. What is fair for one should be fair for all, if Gerhard's image goes, then the female pin ups should go too. If the female pin ups are allowed to stay, then Gerhard's image should be returned to his gallery, very simple me thinks... Leave it to a lawyer to try to muddy the waters...
