It can be a difficult thing to express one's appreciation and admiration for someone's naughty bits without sounding like a scumbag. LJ's statement about not objectifying Labrat (and, I assume that by extension, he probably would include everyone here) is well-taken here. How, exactly, *does* one express their pleasure at what is being shared without ending up seeming to have an interest only in revealing photos?
I'd like to think that, if I issue a permanent disclaimer, denying any excessively prurient interest in any individual's photographic efforts which feature comely body parts, that I could then go on to hoot and howl as they appeared from there on out...but I don't really know.
The Cellar is not a smutatorium, and I would sincerely hope that no one would ever take it that way. But then again, I'm part of a meatspace community where it is not at all unusual for people to show off their body parts, usually with no specific sexual intent - I'm used to seeing this sort of thing as reasonably normal behavior.
To summarize: LR, you show as much as you want to show, and I'll treat it with enthusiastic approval, tempered with the greatest of respect. I will assume that, if UT feels that something crosses a line, either on the part of picture posters or picture viewers, he'll speak up, and we in turn will honor whatever he says.
Finally - no, you aren't perverts. Keep trying, though. We'll let you know when you're perverted. We're experts, you know.
