So, the whole Danneel photo shoot... Some people - and I'm not talking about anyone in particular, just about the feel I got from the comments in various places her pictures were posted to - obviously think that it's discriminating to not like the pictures, to consider them over-the top. People even think that some women don't like her photos because they are jealous of her being Jensen's girlfriend.
I can only speak for myself but I don't give a rat's butt that she's Jensen Ackles' girlfriend or that she's a woman. For me, it's all about how I view sexuality in general and what I consider sexy, hot and whatever. I love people, men and women, being sexy. I hate them being sex objects that serve as masturbation fantasies to pimpled teenagers. I know that what I consider sexy, other people would call lame or prude or whatever. But I don't need the person in the pics to give me lewd, lascivious stare - I'm not saying that Danneel's pics are anything like that, I'm just talking about my opinion on what's sexy - to consider them hot. Example?

All the pics can be considered sexy, I freely admit that, but for me, less skin and more subtlety is sometimes more. It's not about the gender of the person in the pic. It's all about how it affects me...
That's how I view sexuality. My friends will definitely have a different opinion which is just fine with me. If people weren't interested in such photos, they wouldn't be taken after all.

Date: 2008-02-20 10:53 pm (UTC)See sexy is just so subjective. I love older men and woman and some people don't. I mean if our sexuality is as fluid and as subjective as we say it is (or at least I say it is). Why can't what appeals to us in that sense be?
Also it doesn't help that she looks really uncomfortable in that second photo. I mean I've been in postitions like that, for Yoga. Otherwise not so much. And I've always had issues with Jensen being called sexy but that's super personal (like he reminds me of my brother personal and that's just alkfdj weird).
That all being said, I love her hair. In both shoots.
