She’s realy cute. Never understood why people object when they see a beautifull woman showing her beauty. How can you be offended that way?
By the way, isn’t that Gor position with your hands behind the head in the neck?
It seems that the Russians send a spy-satellite around the sun trying to locate the planet Gor

I think the idea is to be sensual. The sexual aspect, whether it be BDSM, misogynistic, oragamic, or tantric, depends on the persuasion of the viewer. Enough that many different sects of society, representing many lifestyles, will relate to it. The subtleness provides no offense to those with a puritan point of view.

I don’t think there are any connotations, maybe a yoga pose?

In the past week I’ve put up a series of ads on my blog, all based on the theme of “sex sells”, everything from plates to shoes. I agree with Freya here … there is a big difference between being misogynisitc and being naughty.

Some people just take things too seriosly and don’t know how to have fun. Shesh!

Most liekly the poor model is grown like that. And too many people have told her she looks beautiful.
No, she is not. She’s got terribly long limbs and body, very thin, it makes me feel sorry for her - and for me, because I am afraid of a situation when I would have to watch her MOVE - must be a terrible sight.
I just hope nobody buys whatever she’s modelling for.

I think the problem with the photo is that the woman is an object. If she were participating in a sexual act with bondage it wouldn’t be a problem…but this photos soley exists to make an object out of this woman. If I were to look at a photo of a woman tied up I wouldn’t look at her and think, “oh she’s in pain.” But I do actually look at her and think she is in pain.

Just my two cents. Jane

Why does this even hafta be a BDSM pic? She looks like she could simply be on top, not in pain, but on the edge of orgasm, leaning back to push down hard on her lover’s cock.

Am I right? ;)

As another person who does yoga, I just thought it looked like she was moving into the camel pose, which is a great stretch and not at all painful.

I mostly noticed the cute embroidery.

Hmmm - on the subject of the photo technique, it’s a fish-eye lense - or at least, that’s what USED to be used to get that type of technique. As for the BDSM and misogyny, well - apparently someone has their dictionary all upside-down and bass-ackwards.

I’m a sub in a D/s relationship, and there is absolutely NO way that my Master would be considered a misogynist. He adores women, and me in particular, and shows me every way imaginable that he does. Up to, and including, calling me a goddess and literally worshipping the ground that I walk upon at times.

And while that may not *sound* like a Dom-like response, trust me, it is. He is all about the domination in the scene - the fact that along with it, he is comfortable enough in his authority to then worship the ground that I walk upon shows his understanding of my importance in our relationship. And I adore him for it.

Oh! That position is supposed to be painful? It isn’t for me. And I’m a fat-ass if there ever was one. I’m tall and long-limbed, though, and I do yoga, so yeah, maybe it would be painful for some people.

I dunno, I mean, I’ve seen misogynistic pictures, but this? It just looks like she’s having a bit of a stretch. She looks happy.
