I've really enjoyed this vigorous exchange, and thank all participants for it. A few concluding remarks from me (really, this time, it's my last word on the subject). These are meant respectfully, and not as a provocation. In any case, I won't be responding further. I don't want my contributions here to be misconstrued. I have of course started picture threads (not all of them, but some) on here, but they're just a small proportion of the 73 threads that I've initiated on cerb, most of which are recommendations and the like. The picture threads happen to be popular, and in the case of Best Bums, highly popular. But there were far more raucous and uninhibited discussions of female body parts on cerb long before I started the "Best bums' thread, long before I was active on cerb. You only have to do a search, for example in the Ottawa escort discussion section under "Best butts" and even "Best face", which were discussions more than pictures, but, as I understand it, worked along the same lines that some people are objecting to here, since they focused on aspects of beauty in apparent isolation. So it's a long-standing tradition here. Is it a good one? I have yet to be convinced of its faults. No one, as far as I know, sees ONLY the body part, Megan, but sees it as precisely a part of a beautiful woman. A sexy and arousing image, yes, as it's supposed to be if the advertising the sp's are doing is working. And we respond to that. I wonder if Berlin could please clarify why it's OK for an sp to post a picture of her breasts or bum or whatever as advertising, but not OK for a hobbyist to post the very same picture as exciting, excellent, arousing, whatever? I can't see what the distinction is that you're driving at. And surely that's the effect you want to have. As to the claim of exclusivity, Berlin, I don't understand how it is supposed to operate. Who is doing the alleged censorship in this wide-open community? Is anyone prevented from posting a pic they find interesting or worthwhile (or wankable, if you prefer)? If there's a cluster of a certain body type or types that occurs more often than others, surely that's just a matter of the preferences of those who happen to post (not necessarily of the community as a whole), but ANYONE is welcome to post; and if they don't, how is that the fault of those who do? There were complaints last year about what some people saw as the predominance of spinners on this board, and I answered then in the same spirit I answer now, in defence of openness and of not being confined in a narrow orthodoxy. I want the maximum diversity and variety on this board. I have my own preferences, but they're just that, and I don't want to restrict anyone's expression on here. If others have different preferences, let them be expressed. That will make us a more robust community. I hope that people will take these remarks in the spirit that they're intended in, not as an argument but as a conversation. I'm sure the conversation will continue, but I've said all that I mean to on this subject.

Nobody denies, as far as I know, that beauty encompasses all of a woman, Berlin. But as long as pics of asses and breasts are being posted on here by our sp's, we're going to keep admiring them. I fail to see what's objectionable in that. One advantage of cerb is that it provides excellent alternatives to wanking. :-D The pics help direct us to the right partners, just as they are intended to do by the sp's who provide them. (The pics help, but are only one element in the choice.)

Thanks, SA. The Nobel Prize is next, for sure!

Thanks, Angus. Her website mentioned on her cerb page seems to be down.

Here's another look at Milena. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

I guess you're right, curious2. Wishful thinking got the better of me. Here's a definite redhead, Karine from Jay High Class

Latika from Garden of Eden has visited occasionally, I think.

Agreed, Don, and she seems like a lot of fun, judging from her posts and pm's.

Mine is my first sexual experience with a now long-lost love, the woman of my dreams (yes, a redhead- strawberry blonde to be precise). She was a musician, and our first date involved me attending a concert she was giving. Afterwards there was a party at my place to celebrate, and she stayed: 'to help me clean up'. I remember embracing her, from behind, for the first time, and the feeling of her response and acceptance. The feeling was electric, and continued through that night, one of my best ever, and every time we were together after that, until, sadly, she moved on. I've never forgotten her.

Thank you, Dorinda, for your suggestion. I think it's a great idea. My own contribution to this thread is a link to what I consider (strictly from my own subjective point of view, and with no implied value judgement of others LOL) as one of the best albums on cerb, Kayla's from Hands from Heaven. I wouldn't know which of these gorgeous women to nominate, though I've had the (intense) pleasure of meeting Megan from HfH, and she's among my great favs. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/album.php?albumid=1592

Does Raquel look like a redhead to you, or is this an optical illusion/wishful thinking?

Well said, OMG. I too start my day with cerb, and look forward to great new pics, of women I already know and admire, and of newbies. I also like to see what my friends are up to/into, and I enjoy exchanging comments on pics as well as recos. There are hundreds of albums on here, and it's fun to see what pics have caught other members' eye amongst all the possibilities. As long as pics are being posted on here, we'll keep sifting through them, just as we're intended to do by those who put them up originally. My preferences are just that, my preferences, what I happen to like. I'm not judging or dismissing anyone else's, or devaluing the pics that I don't personally endorse, or rejecting the subjects of those pics. I'm just stating what I like, and what I'm looking for on cerb. And that's my last word on this.

Isn't Samantha Harris stunning? I keep vacillating between her and Brittany Binger as my ultimate babe.

Alyson again

Diana at Vixens, 5'4, 105, 34B And (dare I say) an attractive bum. :-P

What's new at Barb's? I haven't been in a while. I'll have to drop by this week.
