Actually I'm kinda surprised that the image is still there. But after reading this whole thread, reviewing the terms of service on this and looking at the picture in question for a few minutes, it gives the impression that sex is occurring. The sheer mechanics are argueable, but if a picture showed a womans head at crotch level with a mans groin, his hands in her hair, but her head was obscuring the act, it would still look like sex wouldn't it? Also IIRC their was a similar discussion not to long ago in C&D about a similar 'embrace' between an man and a woman. Many many people thought it implied sex. Last thing I remember was the image was pulled. Correct me if I'm wrong and the image was allowed to stay. What this looks like, is that in order to remove the stigma of being labeled homophobic the rules are changed. Sorry but that sucks. I respect the job you guys do as admins and I know you can't please everyone, but if you wrote your rules to prevent 'porn images' maybe you should stick to your guns.
