I admire the photo aesthetically but I am troubled by the content. I recently purchased a book of Mapplethorpe's (sp?) more challenging work and, though I knew he was not going to play with kid's gloves, have not sufficiently recovered to speak rationally on this type of subject matter. Your photo is quite mild but it echoes with me of Mapplethorpe's much stronger work. I am vaguely open minded and laissez-faire about what consenting adults do privately but I find myself thinking about what kind of childhood would create such desires. It is tragic in ways that are heightened by knowing it is consensual. Oh well....
