Thank you for reading and responding to my two previous posts about this! I have one final question, then we can discuss. Here it is, and by now you can figure out what my questions are about. That's OK, just answer the question honestly, and the results will be fine, you'll see.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely is it that this ad would be sexually arousing to a pedophile? More precisely, I mean this definition of a pedophile: [Webster's dictionary -- Pedophilia, noun -- "Sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object."] . Both men and women can be pedophiles.
You will have to use your own judgment whether this is a picture of a child or not. Here are some anchor points on the scale:
1 = not at all likely to be sexually arousing to a pedophile;
5 = somewhat likely to be sexually arousing to a pedophile;
10 = certain to be sexually arousing to a pedophile. You may choose any number on the 1 to 10 scale.
Please give your own opinion. It doesn't have to be politically correct or anything. Just click on what you think is true. Here's the picture. Click on it to see a larger version.
Not being a pedophile, the question is tough to answer. Were I a teenager, or even a young adult, the image would certainly be somewhat arousing. At my age it's tough - especially these days! - to discern just how old that model is supposed to be. She looks young, but to me she looks younger than 18. Her pose and attire is not something that would go over well at Toys'R' Us.
Innappropriate? Probably. But that is what our society has come to accept as just fine and dandy.
Let's face it, the signals these ad people are sending is confusing at best.
Sheesh!
BTW I clicked on '7'.
