Way to go, Jerry!  I hope you are included among those whose
pictures are accepted.

I'm curious, however, what the premise of the hoped-for debate
will be.  Is the question "Should naked pictures be published
in magazines oriented towards erotic enjoyment?"?  Or is it,
"Are pictures of naked people pornographic?"?  Or is it,
"Should nudists contribute to exploitative sexism in pornographic
magazines?"?  I confess, I am at somewhat of a loss when trying
to understand just how it is that the people whose pictures
are being purchased are supposed to be the ones who are
being exploited!

The Playboy pictorial ("The Women of Mensa") must have been
a success for Playgirl to be planning a follow-up.  That is
encouraging to me.
