Thanks for not doing that. ;-)

Starting somewhere in the early nineties, probably with the advent of the commercially available digital camera, people (mostly young gen-Xers), started to take naughty pictures that weren’t for porn reproduction, but more as personal inside jokes. A co-worker would ask the boss or another co-worker to pose for a snapshot while yet another co-worker would secretly pose in the background with his cock out of his pants, or flashing her tits, or mooning, whereas in the past, most people were a bit inhibited about having such photos developed at the local pharmacy.

This trend seemed to quickly morph into taking snapshots of friends, wives, husbands, etc. posed in various sexual positions with statues of people or animals, often to be shared over the internet.

Beach photos, such as the one depicted above, are yet another development that has gotten even more popular with the advent of the photo cell phone.

When done “right” (or for maximum effect), the object is to have the subject in the foreground appearing as serious as possible, if not actually oblivious.

It’s along the lines of pranks like being rick-rolled, duckrolled, or flash-mobbing, or “stealing” someone’s pink flamingo lawn ornament and mailing or e-mailing them a photo of it enjoying a vacation on the beach.

In this case, even though in the photo itself the figure may seem minimal, it’s rather difficult to beleive that a group of people on the beach, who were themselves fully dressed, would not be aware of a totally naked sunbather literally a stone’s throw away from them, or that the photographer would not have been fully aware. The one thing that is heavier into the realm of doubt in this instance, is whether or not the “nudist” himself was actually a knowing accomplice or the oblivious subject of the prank.

Downloading some stranger’s photo (like the one above), onto your computer or cell phone and sending it to a friend along with a text message along the lines of “Guess where I am! I’m at the beach with four or my friends…”, is yet another level of “rickrolling”.

Everybody that’s claiming the picture is on purpose, unless you have proof, let’s not go there. I’ve seen big grins like that for other reasons, and yeah, I don’t know that it was an accident either. I’ll fix that part.

Bacchus, the comments on your post notwithstanding, I’m a gal that’s never enjoyed the cold clinical feel of a speculum, so anything was better than having that drawing at the top of the page. :-P

Different strokes and such.
