I agree with Steven, except for the above. I think the opposite is true. The 
image of a photograph of a clitoris is a 'real' clitoris, whereas a drawing 
is some artist's 'imaged version' of a clitoris. So whereas the real thing 
can be neutral, the imaged one can carry the artist's POV.

OK. A bit of humour after this ongoing discussion. A friend (female) walked 
in as I was reading the wiki-list. She knows that, whether through nature or 
nuture, it has been decreed that I am not one likely to have much interest 
in the clitoris stakes. And she walked in to find me with a page of emails 
all with the obvious words 'the clitoris guy'. So after a moment of puzzling 
quizzical looking at me, she asked, "are you trying to tell me something? 
Are you 'really' straight?" So thanks, guys'n'gals. After months of 
convincing her that as much as she desparately is in love with me, I ain't 
available, being unambiguously gay, she now thinks I 'really' am straight 
after all and having difficulty 'coming out' as straight to all my gay 
friends. Zeeech! Wiki has called me communist, a fascist, a liberal, an 
ultra-conservative, a monarchist, a republican. And now straight!!!! How 
much more of this??? *grin* So the next time you send around an email on 
'the clitoris guy', please attach the words 'PS Nora. JT IS gay!!!' :-))
