The picture was clearly soft pornography to me. Perhaps it is the kind of picture to which you would hope your daughter (if you have one now or ever have a daughter in the future) would aspire? If the young woman in the picture were your daughter, would this be the picture of her you would carry in your wallet to show friends and acquaintences? If she were my daughter, this would not be the picture I would choose. I would want something with a bit more clothes. I am probably from a different (older) generation than you.
