Just reading a few articles across the net, apparently the backless fashion trend is being interpreted as porn by some people with the number of complaints lodged against adverts featuring the backs of women on the rise.

As a man, I personally dont see the need for women to feel ashamed, which is the natural response when townies start saying that photos of your nonsexual bits are pornographic, of their backs!!! In fashion, the backless dress has been a statement of sexuality and femininity. No one bats an eye when men go topless and the image of the muscular mans back has been used in art and advertisement for centuries. Have we litterally gone insane in our interpretation of whats pornography? Is the back the new porno?

WHAT? Since when is the back a sexual organ?? I can understand the sensuality but a bare back is by no means a pornographic indicator... unless of course you're seeing a female's back because there's a man on top of her... But that's an obvious exception!

I personally think it is preposterous!

Apparently there was controversy over this billboard, advertising a radio station:



"The "explicit" photos have caused a stir as some question the appropriateness of "Back Pornography" on billboards and public locations."
