| Sex and Sexuality Female Avatars; I’ve noticed that many of the female avatars here are based on sexiness. Why is that?
Any opinions?
Ladies?

Yes, but I'm in enough hot water on here today, I think perhaps I will hold my fingers on this one. Great topic, though. | |

My avatar is of Asuka Langley Soryu from Evangelion. She's got the perfect attitude; tough, strong, independent, and can beat the crap out of anyone.

Peace | Mine's supposed to be breakin' the mold.
It represents beauty, distorted into ugliness/ grotesquery, but still weirdly compelling.
Wabi-sabi beauty.

Peace | Many people select an avatar as representative of themselves (which is what an "avatar" IS). Hence it makes sense that sexy women would select sexy female avatars. However, some men DO select sexy women avatars. | |

My avatar was me. Now it's a picture my daughter made. It used to be Despereaux Tilling. | |
