					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.joannstokes.com/8153/#comment-296&quot;&gt;Summer&lt;/a&gt;.

Well I suppose Summer it all depends on how you look it ...for me personally a beautiful, tasteful boudoir shoot is pure art and a celebration of women!  When I am photographing a woman for a boudoir shoot ...I am not seeing a woman who promotes sex but a woman who is confident in herself, who rejoices in her inner confidence!  I do not act like its not big deal ....I act like its a celebration of the liberated women that we are!  I rejoice in our freedom to be able to choose ...and my clients have chosen to celebrate their confidence!  I totally respect my clients who choose not to be on social media ..that is their choice and I have no problem with that!  The ones who have chosen and are confident enough to have their session blogged are strong, independent women who dont answer to anyone but themselves!  Most women dont actually do this for their husbands ...the do it for themselves!  I am sure the pervs and teens see far worse than women in lingerie and how is this far worse than a woman in a bikini and what children are seeing on television, movies, advertsising etc  And you are never forced to see anything that you dont want to see ....with my boudoir photography, you do actually have to link into my blog to see those photos ...so whoever clicks on the link has chosen to view those photos!  I personally think its far worse to see humans abusing animals and their fellow race than viewing a tasteful, artful, creative shoot!  But hey, we are all allowed to have different opionions ...we do live in a free society after all!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Boudoir photos are not appropriate on social media. How is it special and intended for your partner when you blast it on social media? That makes no sense. What about those of us who don&#039;t want to see these photos? You act like it&#039;s just no big deal and we should just lighten up, but I find it disrespectful of others rights. Id rather not be scrolling my news feed and be forced to look at another person&#039;s body in an intimate way. I don&#039;t feel right about that. What about all the perv&#039;s and teens who look at the photos? I guess you don&#039;t care about that either? It&#039;s not a matter of being a prude, it&#039;s a matter of respecting others desires to not see these things. To post such things on social media flies in the face of what you say it represents. It&#039;s not special anymore. My husband would never be ok with such photos of me on social media. Think about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a fabulous post on a very important topic in this big ol&#039; world of boudoir photography.  I am always appalled to hear that Facebook has removed some obviously-boudoir photos!  Thanks for posting this!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Its an art form and should be appreciated as such. Its not intended for an audience or at if it is, the audience will also appreciate it as art. Conservative folks should understand that boudoir works are exactly that and either steer clear of it or consider opening their minds a tad.  Not everything is with dirty intent. Well done Jo. I really enjoy your work]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I find it ludicrous that Facebook removed the picture deeming it to be inappropriate. I see far more inappropriate images, language and comments on Facebook on a daily basis.

In my mind, boudoir photographs are artistic - they hint without being explicit or vulgar, unlike pornography. As you say, boudoir photographs are more focussed on the subject while pornography is more focussed on the viewer.

On a side note.. I loved your boudoir shots! Makes me want to find a model here to do some of my own!]]></description>
