She finally succumbed.

Maypole's a phallic symbol, and not just in the eyes of Freud. T'was specifically designed as one, for the fertility holiday. Also, the chick-thing has the horny-blush. Also, both characters are testicularly-placed. Also, there appears to be the beginnings of a hard bondage session going on- or erotic asphyxiation. With voyeurs in the background, possibly underaged, rubbing horns together in a clear visual pun on the word "horny". Furthermore, the chick-thing's tail is clearly brushing up against the guy-thing's junk. Their relative positions (facing same direction, guy behind) are reflective of their animalistic nature, and love of the doggy style. She's also got flowers in her hand, which are total vag-symbols, while the other hand holds a labia-pink ribbon... it's like saying that she's got her hand on her vag while jerking the guy off with her prehensile tail in a bondage/exhibitionist scenario.

Filthy.

Looks more like light bondage to me.

From:

Also, note the position and color of the guy's belt. Looks like a large dick, doesn't it? And it's brown, meaning they're into anal. As well as mentrual play, given the red ribbon he's tying her up with ("red-tied" "red tide" "chumming the water" "jam sandwich", yes?). The yellow ribbon is, of course, indicative of the Golden Shower, and the rainbow colors at the top of the ~~penis~~ would imply that they're both normally homosexual, probably just fucking around for experiment's sake.

The trees in the background are overtly phallic- it's hard to look at them without seeing green man-bush above a huge dangling brown cock... or perhaps a huge erect brown cock half-buried in a green fem-bush, depending on your perspective. Either way, there are cocks everywhere, obviously symbolizing the silent crowd of japanese businessmen surrounding and staring at the fornicating couple.

The image also speaks heavily of bestiality, in light of which, the bondage theme suddenly becomes much more sinister.

From:

Furthermore, note the celestial references on the main characters' clothing. The guy's belt buckle is a crescent moon, and other crescent moons can be seen on his sleeves. "Moon" is common slang for one's anus, and the fact of it's crescent shape is like saying "your 'moon' is 'partially eclipsed', from my perspective, by my cock, which is about to penetrate it."

The woman's belt, centered on or around the uterus-area, contains a sun, as in son, signifying that she's pregnant, so apparently they're into that sort of thing too (google "preggo" for more on this).

The other major symbol I'd like to draw your attention toward, is the fact that we have, depicted before us, a man sporting crescent moons (feminine symbols in pagan beliefs), and a woman sporting solar decor (masculine in the same), which speaks of gender reversal and role-playing.

From:

And finally, we have the racial overtones. Given the style of art, it's safe to assume that the characters depicted are Asian- with the exception of the green-eyed woman with pale skin- obviously a Ginger-American. I'll draw your attention once again to the sun pictured on her yellow dress. The sun- the source of all light and... heat. Excessive heat, in the body, is known as a fever, and hers is bright yellow. Yellow fever, my dear boy, is common slang for a sexual preference for Asians.

Now then, the man, conversely, has yellow eyes and antennae (or "feelers"), indicating that he only "has eyes" for "yellows". But look closely at his expression- the cooly assessing eyes, the thin-lipped half-polite-smile-half-smirk. That's an expression that, to me, says "You'll do."

From:

And finally, we have the ~~veins~~ clever design on the side of the ~~penis~~ maypole. The upper portion looks like a heart, a symbol which is actually based on spread labia. Literally, the "vagina" is "on" the "penis", a special, esoteric visual pun, based on, as I'm sure most of us know, the tendency of ebonics-speaking women to say "I'm gonna put it on ya!" just before coitus in the "cowgirl" position. Directly below the ~~vagina~~ heart shape is what appears to be an eye, another voyeuristic reference, this time angle-specific. Now, if we take ~~these veins~~ this design as a whole, we can make out a human-shape, which, you'll notice, has dangly-bits.

From:

And finally (no, really this time), again returning to the afore-mentioned bestiality overtones, you'll notice that the phallic maypole is topped with a large bunch of ribbons, forming a "knot", another seemingly innocent word with a sexual double-meaning, in this case, a "knot" can refer to the tennis-ball sized sphere which appears on the penis of most canine species, in the mid- and post-ejaculatory phase of mating, colloquially known as "tying". As in, "nobody takes the knot like Gaston".

....I have no response to this. I have just been completely and utterly schooled.
My hat is doffed to you, good sir, I know nothing of the art of being a dirty-minded cretin. XD

Thank you, thank you.It takes years of practice, but you'll get there if you put your mind to it.

Oh...my...gods...

Only Doc, I swear.

Sniper, let it just be said that in paganism, the Maypole is a fertility symbol and while I didn't think of it, Wolf very kindly pointed out to me that catching someone with your Maypole ribbon is basically announcing "I'm going to mate with you and it very well may be kinky." The ribbon colors were based on rose language, which I hesitate to bring up, but feel I must.

Red = deep, passionate love
Pink = romantic love
Yellow = friendship

My intention of this picture was to show just how deep *cringe* Guyth's love for Lillyflower goes and how she is learning the state of her own heart, namely, she loves him too.

If you'll pardon me, I'll spend the rest of the day blushing, cringing and wondering if I should even tell Eto the objective interpretation I've just read.

*buries face in hands*

From:

mwahahahahahaha- is this guy eva in male form or what?? *giggle*

From:

Not even close. Doc is one of those souls that believes in purity of experience. If anything, I'd say he's more of a male Angelina Jolie.

From:

hmm okay :) so he's got sexy, pouty lips too?? ;)

From:

Doc?

From:

which doc are *you* talking about?- I only know one person named doc & I only know of one journal that he has...

From:

doc holiday, the guy who went into such detail. That was a cue for him to answer your question.

From:

Why hello.

From:

hehe- Hi- you amused me with your response so I simply had to add you to my flist *lol*
thab you for being so amusing *smile*

From:

Male Angelina Jolie? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I'm more the type to laugh at a poor starving Ethiopian child.

From:

I wouldn't call Doc's interpretation "objective". More like a parody of a Freudian interpretation.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

I'm still curious why Wolf thought it was "dirty"?

The picture is cute, and just as you described it to me.

From:

Wolf very kindly pointed out to me that catching someone with your Maypole ribbon is basically announcing "I'm going to mate with you and it very well may be kinky."

It's all about the sex, baby.

From:

Well, It's more like "I want to mate with you". Although, allowing one's self to be caught could be interpreted as encouragement. There is nothing in the tradition implying kinky sex.

But you already knew the ribbon meant he wanted to have sex with her, that is why you had them doing that. Even without the Maypole trying to "catch" someone is hardly subtle.

From:

true.. sex is sex & it does not equal kink

From:

*tries to respond*

*realizes it's Nazgrrl fantasies talking*

*hides face in hands*

From:

Ok, now you are just speaking a foreign language.
