Hi guys, so in the interest of not spamming the lovely Yara's solo shoot thread, I'm starting a new one for the discussion which was starting to form. It seemed like a few people had some things to say regarding the profile/preview pic selections we've been seeing of late, specifically regarding the apparently increasing prevalence of close-ups of the labia and anus, to the exclusion of the girl's identity and surroundings.
Some thoughts of mine: I obviously have no problems with the existence of the shots. I know that from my own, I have actually come to know my own vagina much better, and also seen the wonderful array that they come in. I think that in itself is a worthwhile thing, to make it clear just how much variety there is, all of it beautiful. The close-ups serve a purpose there. What I've been questioning is how appropriate it is for them to be used as a preview pic, considering the context that we live in a society where Male Gaze (that in itself can become a semantic discussion on naming a concept which is unflattering to men) is an issue. Abbyland has kind of been one of the trailblazers for girl-friendly porn, in my humble opinion, and I'd love to see that good work kept up. I am also curious to hear how that selection process works, how much of it is computer generated.
So if anyone has some input, I'd be curious. Of course, this being a potentially contentious topic, and these being the Abby Winters board, let's all keep it respectful and classy.
