Belly Dancing .....

[Sam Slater]

A difficult one...

Not the sort of art that I instinctively think of when you mention the word, but then again, there's lots of art I wouldn't want to see as well.

The picture in question did take me back a little as I scrolled the page as I expected.....well, the genitals not to be so......blatant. I guess it could be termed as art as the pose isn't forced and just shows children at play. Some will find it offensive, some will find it shocking, and a sick minority will find it erotic.

Nearly every family used to have naked children 'taking a bath' in every photo album until recently, and society in general aren't as tolerant of nakedness in children these days.

We have to remember that pedophilia comes from the mind, not an image.

Then again, they're not my nieces or daughters in the shot, so maybe I am in a good position to be more impartial and blas?. Like I said, 'it's a difficult one'.

I heard on R4s 'Front Row' programme yesterday that these images can be purchased in a book and there have been no compliants about that - so far.
