6. How many people would "get" what it is showing?
I mean, it's male genitalia that are instantly recognizable--women's not so much. Though things may have changed since I was young. Back then, women knew very little about their bodies-it was all hush hush back in the '50s.

7. "Mommy, that's the weirdest heart I've ever seen!"
:rofl:

That's all I think most kids will say. The rest can take seeing it, I'd hope.

14. You could try the truth for a refreshing change.
Of course then you will have the morality police on your neck.

12. Seems tame to me
But I was in Italy last week, seeing overtly lesbian ads on the TV monitors in train stations, and flipping past the porn channels on the cable TV to find something interesting to watch. (There's just so much naked women you can take until you need a change of scenery).

16. No.
It's a medical term and the graphic is very stylized.
