Loading ...What does this look like to you?
If you said “two nude lovers locked in a passionate embrace,” then, congratulations, your mind is as corrupt as mine. If you said “eight dolphins leaping playfully out of the water,” then, please, stop reading my blog.
Supposedly, young children are unable to recognize erotic scenes. Their minds make some sense of the image, and they have no reason to connect the dolphins.
No, I don’t know what scientist was sick enough to test that.
Anecdotally, I can tell you that I was sick enough to test it on Benjamin, my little(st) brother. When I interrupted his lego-ing with the first sentence of this post, he slowly studied the image before responding with the last sentence of this post.
Ooops.
“That kind of looks like something. . . inappropriate.”

Supposedly, if it takes you more than six seconds to view the full image, then you are balls to the wall obsessed with sex.
Tell me, honestly, how long did it take you to see it the other way?

I say “bullshit.” What about all the gray fog around the outside of the dolphins? It makes the negative space much more noticable — in fact, without all that gray on the outside, the picture wouldn’t even make sense. And what about what that woman is doing with her arms?…
We was framed, Daniel. Framed.

I only see 7. Is her left breast supposed to be a little baby dolphin doing a back flop or something?

Woah. Good eye, Ryan. You’re right about the gray fog thing.
Kelli, I’m seeing three inside her arms, three down the left side, two on the right side, one under her boob, and one under her crotch.
