It's a woman holding a shiny spaceship (looks a bit like a BOX?) in front of her crotch. This spaceship is one which other ships enter and exit frequently. It's not that hard. Plus, the right kind of people (or the wrong ones, rather.) will just see that there's something in front of her crotch, thereby focusing attention on that, and then going from there.
I'm not saying this is the general concensus, but that's how you can easily make it look "sexual". But I can mostly tell what's MEANT to be sexual and what isn't... And that one isn't. |

We went though this a year or two ago - I just don't know what you are on about. I wouldn't even have looked at this and made any kind of innuendo out of it when I was 16 and at school. If what you are saying made any sense, then men would be giggling their socks off any time they saw a woman carrying pretty much anything. Anyway, lets not rake over old ground, you'll have to assume I have the equivalent of colour-blindness in this situation... |

I'm sorry. Like I've said, this isn't how everyone (or even any kind of considerable amount of people) sees it, it's just an answer to Chibi who said it couldn't possibly be considered obscene in any way. You may think me purile for seeing the things I mentioned, but it's not like I'm giggling like a giddy little schoolboy here, I made the first comment as a lark.
I won't mention it ever again. I'm sorry. |

Oh, feel free to talk about it - I just mean trying to explain it to me has been proven in the past to be as futile as trying to teach a dog card tricks.  |

Women generally don't carry things in quite that position.
If I saw a woman with her arms almost perfectly straight, hands bent inward, loosely cradling something right at her crotch, I'd have to hold in a bit of a giggle. It seems intended to draw attention... like... "look what I'm blocking the view of", kind of like when a woman holds two of something over her breasts. It's just not a natural pose.
The straight-armedness of the pose would make sense if what she was carrying was extremely heavy -- but then, she'd be hunched over a bit and her hands would be flexed. Or, the hands would make sense if she was carrying something really lightweight, but then I'd expect bent elbows instead of straight arms.
I had my wife stand and mimic the pose. It most definitely wasn't natural. She confirmed my suspicions -- "would you hold something like that?" "nope... *bends elbows* like this *holds imaginary something at belly*" |

"Nice melons!"
"Thanks, they're ripe!" |

So the fact I saw that as sexual, make me a bad man. |
