Men in bondage

Post by _zeezrom »

Does this LDS copyrighted image come across as erotic to you?

No.

I'm having a difficult time seeing how you make the connection.

I don't know no images.
image... Is it an existing English word?

That is why it isn't erotic to you.

So, I guess this means you find images of dudes to be erotic?

It means LDS needs to consider photoshopping baggy leggings and shirts on the men depicted in Book of Mormon art. Given the church's recent actions of injustice against artists and in light of their stand on homosexuality, I would assume they do the same to depictions of men.

To answer your question: it depends on the context. If you take the image out of context, yes.

Shades, one doesn't have to "find images of dudes to be erotic" in order to recognize that certain postures and displays of human skin can convey eroticism.


Z, I'm 100% heterosexual, but yeah, there's something mildly erotic about the picture.

They're taking those young prisoners to the mistress.

Exactly.

And the answer is yes, Z. The picture isn't erotic to me---in other words it doesn't turn me on---but I can recognize in it the elements of fairly standard erotic bondage scenarios.
