Didn't DAZ break down and give Vickie some kind of a 'crease' morph? I haven't read the thread at Sunshine Manor so I don't know what the creator said, vs. speculation. 

I can buy personal objections. I can buy wanting to put more polygons in some other area. Fear of being sued? Well, you can give away ice cream on a hot day and risk getting sued. Judging from the other figures available, the too low poly to be abused and get us sued rationale, well, I'm dubious, but that's just my opinion. Maybe they have a shyster who told them that I don't lnow. If they bring out a male figure with anything other than nothing, I'd say the gynophobia fix is definitely in. IIRC, the guy at 3DU said he didn't support male genital textures in TC because in his view they only got used for porn. A simple, albeit rather odd explanation I can buy, but he didn't say he was afraid of getting sued. Whatever; they believe what they believe and they do what they gotta do. Now I shouldn't be so skeptical when the poor man's just trying to stay out the place where he'd get too up close and personal with Bubba's genitalia, but I gotta be honest, it do seem a bit odd - even in the land of 'I burned my mouth on the hot coffee in the cup that said Warning Hot! - give me money.'

As for porn vs. erotica, unless someone can explain how they don't appeal to the same basic human drive, then it's thumb wrestling vs. ultimate fighting, a matter or personal taste and interest. I don't think any of is's designed to make people muse on the glories of creation or God's goodness. Even if they were, why would the intricacies of a vagina be any less inspirational than a cheeky glimpse of ankle or whatever passes for 'erotica' these days. Adam's package could have been tossed off (NPI) with Poser primitives, but Eve's garden took some serious Maya time by the Almighty. Remember the guy who offered a girl $10,000 to sleep with him? She jumped at the offer. Then he offered her $100 and she sniffed, "What kind of a girl do you think I am?" He said, "We've already established that, now we're just haggling over price." That is the difference between porn and erotica, all delusions aside.
