First of all, Liftan, you are proving my point over and over that biased people are dangerous. You are projecting your own beliefs onto other people as to what is acceptable behavior. If a mom thinks a baby's butt is adorable, that's okay? What about a dad? I know plenty of proud dads who think their kid splashing in the kiddie pool is adorable. But you think the moms are okay but the dads are pervs? What a load of sexist crap! Read some of Anne Rice's books that aren't about vampires and then tell me a woman can't be a perv too.

Yes, I am a WOMAN. I am not like 50% of the other so called females on message boards who are 40 year old, beer-gut slinging men getting their jollies off. Trying to create doubt about my true sex is just a silly tactic.

Also, that last paragraph of yours sounds suspiciously like a death threat, Liftan. I'd be very careful how you speak to people on any public forum. Death threats especially are taken very seriously.

My whole point through this entire thread is that people are not meant to sit in judgement of other people when it comes to artistic expression. Doesn't your religion teach that, "Judge ye not, lest ye be judged"? You are not qualified to sit and pass judgement on my beliefs, my artistic expression, or anything else. If this country decides they want to tell me how to express myself artistically, I take exception to that whether or not I will ever choose to express myself that way. Get the picture? I will never, ever, create a picture that could be considered pornographic. I don't go for that sort of thing. However, I don't want anyone saying I can be put in jail if I ever do so. Because when they start saying you can't render this, and you can't render that, pretty soon the only art we'll have are velvet Elvis paintings and cute pictures of kitty cats.
