to hear your definition, especially with regard to what type
of exhibitionist acts a parent can legally convince his young daughter to
perform. I don't much care for assertions of what "plenty of people"
believe if they aren't attached to explanations as to *why* those people
believe that.
My definition of "erotic" would require there to be a sexual element.
Nudity is not automatically sexual, there would need to be something
about the pose which could be reasonably associated with sex.
Things like spread out legs, arms behind back, and pushing forward of the
chest? C'mon, the pose was obviously intended to be a sexual pose. The
very title and theme of the song they were depicting is "Virgin Killer".
The image fails to be "sexy" for the sole reason that it's a prepubescent
making the pose.
