I'm actually slightly miffed at the way you deem my image, Blackhearted. Let me tell you, my 10-year old actually watched when I did this. So now I'm a Bad Mom™ because I subjected my kid to smut? - even if I don't personally see that pic as the slightest bit erotic MYSELF?!
Yeah I know some people find it erotic, but I don't. And I was in NO WAY trying to "bend the TOS" - I don't NEED to. If I want to post pics that are not suited for the TOS here, I know where to go. And as some of my pics are "too much" for the TOS at even those places, I can post them in my LiveJournal where noone decides but me what is posted there.
Some people find nude or scantily clad females erotic - I don't. For the record, I'm female, if I want to look at one, I can go look in the moirror, something I'd prefer not to do more than absolutely necessary, thankyouverymuch.
I wouldn't even mind showing my pic to my mom who's 77 - she would probably not see it as a porn/erotic image either. More likely she would see it as a manifestation of a metaphor, hence the "under foot" title.
The point is, you can't decide clearly what is porn and what is not.. Some people may see blatant porn if you happened to see someone's hair. Eroticism is culturally decided. In some cultures, this lead to the overly enlarged lips (like some african and southern american tribes has used) - or the elongated necks, the lotus feet or something similar. Some thing it the heigth of beauty and therefor also erotic, some find it a gross mutilation.
Personally I find circumcision a gross mutilation.
If anything, my first pic in this thread (the one I merely linked to) is more disturbing to my 10-year old, because she's also an avid Harry Potter fan and she's not quite sure why or how I can possibly place those two people in a picture together (and yes she can see who they're supposed to be)
So far I've tried all sorts of bad explanations as to not scar her for life with a too early introduction to slash but... It would still need more explanation than simply a pic of a man and a woman embracing each other, in the nude. Not that I mind, I'm just not sure she's old enough to properly understand the different aspects of sexuality. (or perhaps I'm not ready to explain it to her? Could very well be the case as well L)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
