I don't see these pictures as pornographic. Not at all. Sensual yes, erotic yes, but (to me) there is a vulgar element in pornography, and I can't find that element in those pix.

@helenS Some in this selection were clearly created to be erotic and arousing , in an age when bare flesh would never be seen in public ( not even on a beach )
Others are classical studies that could grace the walls of a museum or gallery.
I like them all ..

@devonman #4 and #5 from bottom up are somewhat pornographic, in my opinion.

devonman · 61-69, M

@helenS I agree , they have a vulgarity that would have made them more saleable .

helenS · 36-40, F

@devonman In pornographic pictures, women are just genitals on feet. I will never understand how any man could see that as attractive, or exciting, or arousing.

@helenS I dislike such imagery . For me and I think many men , it is the natural curves of the female that are arousing ,and aesthetically pleasing.

@helenS In a way, isn't that a cultural image? And one you ought to question, but I've met an escort before, not the same in entirety, but they hold much more in power, can pick and choose, have to also accept sex sells and I only hope they choose?

helenS · 36-40, F

@thewindupbirdchronicles I can't imagine working as an escort. No idea whether they can pick and choose their clients. Do you think the one you met had a choice?

@helenS I don't understand it either. Explicit pornography turns me off, not arouses me.

helenS · 36-40, F

@ArishMell To me explicit pornography is worse than pictures in an anatomy book.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

@helenS Since I haven't answered this yet, yes, I do feel she had a choice, and is/was expressing her "choice"

Slade · 56-60, M

@helenS Agreed. Very erotic.

I love the one 4 up. She’s got a lovely bottom that just doesn’t quit😋

ArishMell · 70-79, M

@helenS My thoughts entirely! The anatomy book has a genuine purpose, too.
