some words about my (former) avatar

As you can see, I've already changed my avatar due to .

I didn't expect such trouble caused by a single small image, especially because I'm using this avatar in many other forums, and nobody ever complained about it - on the contrary, most people liked it. :(

To say it clearly:
I would NEVER use a "perverted" (as MooseMaster called it) image as avatar, not even an image that could (in MY opinion) really offend somebody.

I'm indeed very sorry about the trouble I've caused, but except for Moose and Pam, I don't see any other complaints...

I often hear about the large difference between Europe and the USA concerning sexuality, but up to now I believed that those things were mostly rumors; although I refuse to believe that people can be that prudish, I'm afraid that these differences really exist.

But I wouldn't say that Europeans are "sexually loose", at least I wouldn't use these words to describe our attitude towards sexuality. In addition, there are also differences between every European country - compare France to Germany and you know what I mean.

To get rid of the obscurity about my former avatar:
The picture doesn't show any scrotum, pubic hair or anything else Moose's fantasy created.
The woman you can see is Gisele Bündchen (in case you don't know her: she's a Brazilian supermodel) and the picture is part of a photo series from a magazine (forgot the name).

As you can probably see, I like women and their beauty very much, and I don't see any problem with it.

If some people feel offended when looking at an attractive girl, I can't understand it and I can't help them, but I'm willing to avoid problems, therefore I removed the avatar.

The image (original size, about 100k) can be found , don't look if beauty and a very little bit of eroticism offend you.
You should be at least 21 years old if you are from the USA, otherwise no restrictions... :D

One last question:
MooseMaster, what's your age? It's a serious question, and to put my cards on the table: I'm 19.

I'm 17 years old.

I can guarantee you I'm not uptight about sexuality. But I believe there's a place for it, in privacy. The discussion in the other thread deviated away from your picture in specifics almost immediately, so don't think you got everyone arguing over the pic, although I appreciate it a great deal that you were selfless enough to replace it. Thank you.

moose, you a fucking pussy. no wonder your single, the girls must think your gay.

any guys who actually gets offended by porn, or something that could be taken as porn at a glance, need to have a drink, chill, and see about removing the stick from your ass.

no, but guys who get upset by pictures of naked women often get turned on by pictures of naked men.
like you do.

Just two things:
1) The image does NOT contain any sexuality / nudity, YOU saw scrotums and all the stuff! Go to the beach, you will see more nudity there than in my avatar, so what's the matter about "sexuality" and "privacy"?

2) I don't think that I "got everyone arguing over the pic". Where did I say so? You kept insisting on seeing things nobody else (except Pam...) could make out and asked me to remove it. That's all.

Poor boy... :(

Hey moose i want to say something to you. I think your an ok guy in many ways im jealous of you, you get to go to a cool ass private school, your parents buy you everything and your probably getting a full ride to some great colleage while on the other hand I go to public school make average grades have to buy my own car and i got my cisco certification before i got out of high school so i can afford to send myself to itt tech. I really do enjoy talking to you most of the time though and i hope what i say wont affect any other threads we may carry on in the future.

Come on man for god fucking sakes dont you watch TV theres more T&A on god damned prime time shows. I dontknow if your normall or not but as a regualr male i thoughrly enjoyed his avatar and i beg him to change it back. Yes this is a public discussion forum but i dont see anything wrong with talking about ppc's while seeing a hot piece of ass. Seriously man there is nothing imorally indecent about that avatar not even in the USA i see more freakin ass than that when i watch our cheerleaders at my high school so just calm the fuck down. I would really like to know why its inapropriate now that we all know theres no pubic hair or ball sack

Guys, I'm not some Christian fanatic. I've downloaded pornography in my time, I've seen real, live, nude women (not the TV kind), I'm not some goodie-goodie with no sexual experience. I just believe that privacy is necessary, and I saw something in that picture that I didn't like. That's all.
