There's a difference between 'sex' and 'sexy'.

'Sex' is not something that needs to be public on a site like this. As you know 'Fel, the BSA is very strict on these matters. I know as well, since I too am a VERY active member of the BSA, who is 6 months from having my 17yo become an Eagle Scout. Therefore, keeping 'sex' type shots out of this site would be in the best interest of EVERYONE. Its crude, and this site has never been about crudeness. Maybe some questionable personal tastes, but not smut.

Something 'sexy' (like the 3 links that were referenced) are borderline (especially with the 'Helix/Scarlett' one-which I personally do NOT appreciate). As for the Clutch one, that's the established character's persona, and honestly it wasn't offensive (its not like his hand was up her skirt). The 'Baroness/Raptor' one, well, that could be one of those 'borderline' shots, simply for the fact that Anastasia has her legs wrapped around his waist.

But in the end, none of these was a blatant attempt at a 'sex' scene. Fireflyed's picture was. Plain and simple. And whether he admits it or not, he *knows* that it was.

I've seen 'sexy' themed shots (i.e.-kissing, etc.) grace the photo section of this site, hell, I've even snapped a few myself and posted them. But the difference was that it was done in good taste and with respect. Not only to myself and my fellow members, but to the characters themselves. Yes, that's right. They deserve respect as well, otherwise, why bother with something so small?? There are companies that can accommodate people with fetish penchants.

This site is meant to be a place that revels in the glory of 'G.I. JOE', not 'Mr. Lucky's Gentleman's Club'.

As you've stated, if someone feels the need to embellish levels of voyeurism, then find someplace that caters to that and if you want people to view it, give them a link with an innocuous picture to lead them there. But don't use JoeDios as a portal to 'get your rocks off' by posing plastic army figures in compromising *adult* situations that would make your mother blush.
