This survey is uniquely timely for me.

A young lady friend/colleague was looking over my shoulder as I was perusing OCC in my office. If her SO would agree, she expressed an interest in appearing in a photo gallery, but her face had to be hidden for the usual reasons.

I personally do not care for disembodied genitalia, blacked out heads etc. A single vagina ultra close-up pic may as well be an arm pit picture. It is the context of the video/photo that interests me. Obviously, many others like those shots, but they just hold no interest for me. Thus, when my friend gave me two crotch only photos to post, I was pretty disappointed.

I guess that my face reflected my opinion of her photos. I inadvertently hurt her feelings. It took courage for her to show the photos to me. From her perspective, those crotch shots represented the manifestation of a heretofore very secret fantasy, to be a wanton exhibitionist. The thought of secretly exposing her vagina to hundreds, perhaps thousands of total strangers was consuming her. And I ruined her buzz by not being excited about the photos.

How does one explain personal tastes, sexual influences etc.? I attempted to explain how I felt in 100 words or less, but knew that I was not that persuasive. She felt somewhat humiliated that I was not turned on by her pictures. I tried to recover but it did not really work. So, with a sigh, I agreed to turn one of her pictures into my avatar. It would have to be modified from a static crotch shot, but more folks would probably see her vagina/avatar than in a "look at my cha-cha" post. She did not care how I modified the photo as long as her vagina stood out (another sigh). So, my new avatar is my colleague's pussy, semi-artfully disguised as a crystal ball vision. (sigh 3) She loves it.!?! I've begun calling her my avatart.

What I learned from this is that MOTIVE is the context for some folks. The boring crotch shot took a great deal of personal courage. I still do not like those types of photos, but I am more understanding about why they happen. I am now lobbying for the privelege of taking some better pictures, if her SO will agree.

As an afterthought, it occurs to me that a before and after of the crotch photo might be in order.
