What happens when cute, teenaged herms don't use condoms.

Whoa. Now that's an effective ad. Oddly, I'm not all that disturbed by it, but SF about pregnant guys is well within my milieu.

Half my friends list would go SQUEEEE! and walk into lampposts if they saw that ad.

It's better quality art than most of the mpreg doujinshi out there.

He's so appearing in a Journal Entry.

What I want to know is why should pregnancy (or pregnant naked torsos) be disturbing anyway? Surely it would only be disturbing to someone who has a phobia about pregnancy?

Shouldn't a "normal" person find pregnancy at the very least to be mundane, if not beautiful?

What are the ad's creators trying to say? That human reproduction is "disturbing" per se?

I think the key here is the age of the model - pregnancy of a fifteen-year-old ought to be disturbing, so they crafted an ad to deliberately conflate uncanny-valley disturbance with too-young-to-be-pregnant disturbance.

Yup, it's the fact that he's nowhere near 18.

Teen pregnancy does disturb me

Sigh. When I see a pregnant teenager, my hyperactive imagination tends to go into overdrive about what's going to happen to both mother and child.

Also, I'm not among the demographic which finds pregnant women incredibly attractive. Apparently Robert Heinlein did, to judge by his panegyrics to them throughout his books. Admittedly, more of the pregnant women I've known have developed acne or crippling migraines than a "glow" during pregnancy, and more than a few of them have had to take to their beds because of eclampsia risk or other complications.

Elf, can I share this? I notice you're hosting the image -- is there another place I can find it so I'm not hosing your bandwidth?

Pregnant boy (http://images.google.com/images?q=pregnant%20boy) on Google Images works wonders. There are three different versions, plus a second 'shop of this one, posing on the ground.

See also -- the last ad on this page ran in the 1970s in the UK, and was considered somewhat risqué at the time.

Somehow, the lack of Photoshop makes it look like a guy with a pillow under his sweater. The photo above, with its exceptionally beautiful boy and the distended belly, really hits the uncanny valley floor.

I hope that boy is 18, because I'm finding myself rather aroused by that picture. @_@

Remember kids: don't have sex!

*groan*

If Milwaukee cared, they would actually have sex education that worked. Give me a frackin' break.

Wow he looks like a preggo Tidus from FFX
