[GR]   As Much as I don't like Frank's conclusion, I think he's right.
There are too many prudes out there to make this artwork standard. Don't
get me wrong, I love it, and I'd like to live in a world where this art
would be appreciated, but unfortunately we live in a world where
religious "morality" is still the order of the day. Hey, maybe someday,
our society will grow up and not treat sexuality as though it were
something to avoid seeing because it's "dirty", which it isn't.
