Hi, I think I'm against the term "tasteful" on general principal, it's frequently misleading for a start! :) Though on a more serious note, I doubt that any potential pervert is going to bother slavishly collecting "child porn" from the galleries hereabouts, the reason is simple, it's not real. Child porn, paedeophilia, etc. is all about power. My mother was a "social worker" and she dealt with this every day, I've been with her when she went to repossess people's kids, (couldn't find a babysitter :) and abuse of any kind is all about power, subjugation, etc. and if the kid ain't real, then neither is the kick, the thrill. Ask any psychiatrist, (perverts more interested in diagnosis than cure) and they'll tell you that. On a purely personal level, speaking as a man who has purchased porn in the past, both in RL and online, there is simply no contest between a real woman doing indecent things, and a 3dmodel, however expertly modeled, posed and lit, (even if the post work was by Michealangelo himself) doing the same thing. Because knowing it's not real, leads you to ponder the artifice with which the image was created, instead of wondering just what it is she's doing with that bottle... Crude, but true. Poser porn is fantasy, build your perfect woman/man, then make them bend over. The kind of people who like poser porn are the kind of people who like looking at Disney characters naked. Real men/women just don't punch thier buttons. So they build something themselves that does. I would suspect that the gallery images are covered by the disclaimer on the front page about nudity, whereas the "free stuff" section isn't. lets face it, if you're at all annoyed by texture previews with clothes on, then download and test render yourself. Personally I feel the same way about the anal probe, when Cartman got one it was funny, but other than that what are you going to do with it? Perhaps if the admins of 'rosity & 'rotica would kiss and make up they could send some traffic each others way, that way the "porn" would be where everyone who wanted it could find it, and where timid creatures could safely ignore it. Though somehow I doubt this will come to pass, fewer perverts means fewer page views and less advertising revenue. I would also say you're right about the pubic morphs, but more because we already have two models (Eve and Latexa) who are both anatomically correct down to the smallest detail, there's also ample scope for doing things to "the dork" though they are admitedly harder to find. Right, 4am, time for bed :) later jb
