Namibian women of the Heroro people teasing and playing with a white man

There were a lot of scaling accusations and criticizers hurled stones at this image, and in turn the photographer. It was seen as trashy, nasty. It was puzzling how much revulsion this photo conjured up in some and in others gave rise to desire, play and fantastic projections! One man thoughtfully wrote in response to the backlash, "to those who say the pic is dirty, do a little research online and look at the majority of classic pin up art and pics were all about the subtle hints of attraction. most were nudes and a lot were used as nose art on American and British world war two fighters and bombers. the most famous being the Memphis Belle. most were classic gil evgreen photos and paintings. i find the model to be quite eye catching and the pose is very tasteful, no pun intended. its not like a porn mag with her legs spread and the cake smeared all over. plus if you think you can do it better then why not try it yourself. that's just my opinion, just saying." - Matthew Price

It would be a study, an interesting study to meet the detractors and critics of this photograph. Their insights delve into an aspect of the legacy of the Puritans and other philosophical musings the Western world favored the world with. A lot can be said about suppression. A lot can be said about the freedoms of expression.

This is a  tease, the photo, but isn't the center of attraction between sexes one of a tease?
