Edge Play: Irresponsible?

[gagged_Louise]

Like Firefly and anonymouse (and Mishka) I feel this is a composed photo for aesthetic value rather than having any implications of trying to kill the ballerina. The noose rope doesn't look that tight in any case, so my feeling is it's not anchored to anything very firm.

Depictions of blood-curdling erotic scenes have been around for hundreds of years. Check out any old painting of the martyrdom of St. Sebastian where he is tied to a column and pierced by arrows - the sadistic ambience often looks unmistakable.

Wood-cut etchings! Not only is the 'sadistic ambience...unmistakable' but the artists who created them surely spent many hours creating them. Oh my, how artists of yore might have reveled in our digital photography age! LOL

I would assume the noose is not even attached. I find the picture exciting. Now there a things, I am sure with allof us, that will excite me in only the fantasy world. Breath Play, Blood play have always had no appeal in the real world for me.

I do have to disagree with the b/w folks here. I think the contrasts of the red sash and the white rope add to the picture. But, of course, that is IMHO.
