I'm getting pretty sick of them -- even from people I've been watching awhile. (Though there is/was one person I watch who I laughingly would tell people I admired for his ability to make just about every shot -- even a head shot -- a crotch shot in some way.)

It's not pushing limits, it's not making a statement that the whole body is beautiful, it's not about the "bravery" or "courage" of the models. It's about porn & page views. It's about getting _GRAPHIC_ in the sleazy sense not the "impact" sense.

Seems when page views get low, shoot a crotch.

And, why not spread it wide, and include the anus too? Two for one. Give it a derogatory title and make sure the expression is pained or worse. Art?? Bullshit. Just porn.

Putting porn in a pretty package doesn't make it any less porn.

A crotch shot in a well exposed image is still a crotch shot.

It's not "erotic art". It's simply porn. There's nothing erotic about it. There's nothing "art" about it. There's no larger idea, bigger picture, or overriding theme. It's just a crotch shot, with pulled labia, and often an anus. Usually in the "booty shot" position, though some get more creative with it.

Maybe it's point of view. We don't crawl around on the floor looking up skirts or legs. After age 3, we don't "view" people that way, in general. Most people I've known over the years don't bend over just so you can see their labia from behind, nor spread their cheeks no matter how "creatively" it seems. Similarly, they don't sit/lay/stand so that they expose their genitals as the point of focus - or way of saying "hello".

Yes, the body is beautiful, but when it comes to porn, as the good Justice said, "I know it when I see it."

And, I'm seeing a *LOT* more of it lately. Waaaay too much.
