So, when will the Aphrodite contest be held?

Wouldn't the correct title be the "Helen contest"?

I'm up for it if I can get someone to take pics. I'd lose to Rebecca, though...

Hmm. I may be new, but hear me out on this. I've been reading over this thread and I've seen a lot of things with women talking about "I'd be comfortable with this," or "I'd be uncomfortable with that," the way I see this sort of contest happening is to post whatever you're comfortable with. No one is going to force your clothes off through sheer force of net skills. Instead of telling people you're not comfortable about doing something just don't do it.

One rule that would probably be good to include would be your picture must include your face. It's not a fair fight if one woman posts in a tank-top and another posts just her bewbs. Also, there should be a limit on just how many pictures you can post in the contest - along the lines of one or two at the most.

Another thought is to make a secure members only thread for said contest and or a "SHOW US YOUR BEWBIES" contest. That way pictures aren't open to the entire interweb.

Furthermore, why not make both Male/Female contests an annual or biannual thing? Give us something to look forward to.

In short: I think this contest would be a helluva a lot of fun and someone should get it started.

You've made 8 posts and already you've shown more skin than most females on this board, and have now alluded that you'd be willing to show more.

You seem like a fun person

Im all for this contest. no one is asking you to show more than you want to. Afterall... Would ANYONE have done adonis if we were supposed to take off more than our tops? Same difference.

I probably would have. But I have no shame anymore, so I'm rather unusual.

You, Gil, Einy, maybe Rye when he isn't feeling self-conscious probably would. Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who might...

Exactly. Here on SDN, that is defined as a fun person.

I would, as Zaia already pointed out. I don't care anymore who sees my body. I've got nothing to be ashamed of.

In fact, if I dropped trou in Tokyo, Godzilla would actually come out of the sea to fight my wang for supremacy out of sheer jealously. It's such a shame that it's against board policy to prove it.

So has anyone actually decided anything or are we all just sitting around talking about how cool it would be?

Zaia has hinted about putting something together in SoS but for all I know, she's just teasing. Right now, there can't be a contest because of a lack of entries. The women seem to be reluctant to post clear pictures of themselves (ie- not grainy, not with most of their bodies obscured by objects or baggy clothing etc) for various reasons, some of which have been mentioned before.

This place needs more exhibitionists. You should start it anyway and see how many are actually just bluffing.

Or make it just a headshot contest.

As long as it's not phallus-see (or fallacy, for that matter

) I really don't care.

I wouldn't be suprised if that were true.

Hey now, that's not fair! It's not going to be my contest, it's going to be Gil's (since he was asking when he should post the rules and the thread for it)--all I'm doing is being his liason to let him know how many affirmatives we had in the SoS thread about it. Hmph.

Since this post, we've had three or fours more ayes, so it's definitely happening. I think Gil just forgot to start a thread on it due to school starting again. Of course, if you're holding out for the T&A contest, you might have a wait a bit longer...

This with the unfortunate consequence of the same people winning every year due to the unchangeable nature of human genetics.

Rye won the Adonis? And here I thought Zaia completely forgot to post the results or something, not that I am suggesting anything.
